“”Many Muslims would say that they feel bits of British society are no-go areas for them.””

I’ll bet you Christians are beginning to feel the same way.

Sharia law was originally more enlightened in its attitude to women than other legal systems, Dr Williams pointed out

Is he literally that stupid?

Dr Williams said the UK had to "face up to the fact" that some citizens do not relate to the British legal system

I agree. Then they should recognize that a terrible mistake has been made and take drastic measures to correct it. But they won't do anything except assist in the strangulation of their own culture.

It’s probably safe to say the Archbishop is no Thomas More. Maybe someone should buy him a copy of “A Man for All Seasons”.

To the Christain faith...he is an apostate. Perhaps we should treat him to a bit of sharia law for apostates...since these laws are “inevitable”. Heh.

Dr Williams backs adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law Dr Williams said the UK had to "face up to the fact" that some citizens do not relate to the British legal system, and argued that officially sanctioning Sharia law would improve community relations.

How about this for improving community relations: Live by the laws in the country in which you chose to live. If you don't like the laws, move somewhere else. By the way, don't pick Australia...their Prime Minister has already said as much.

Glen Beck said this would happen in his book An Inconvenient Book...that political correctness would seal Europe's fate, and that France is already doomed. Dr. Williams is following in the footsteps of Neville Chamberlain and will no doubt produce the same results. Wake up, Europe, before you lose it all.

Unfortunately it may well take a major western nation falling to Islam for lazy Americans to wake up and see that the threat is real, and beyond a terrorist attack every several years. But an actual threat to our very existence and way of life.

Let TV images of british women being beaten by a british version of the Mataween for failing to properly dress, or being in public without their husband hit American TVs and maybe even the NAG gang will join the fight.

“But there are ways of looking at marital disputes, for example, which provide an alternative to the divorce courts as we understand them.”

Does he mean the customary Islamic way of turning around in place three times while chanting “I divorce thee” ? A bit counterproductive, as it would put most clergy out of the counseling business.

“Sharia law for civil matters is something which has been introduced in some western countries with much success.”

Wow, I was unaware of that. Thanks for that tidbit, Mohammad.

This guy should be hospitalized - unfortunately, he already has been institutionalized and the institution suffers from it.

"Dr Williams backs adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law Dr Williams said the UK had to "face up to the fact" that some citizens do not relate to the British legal system, and argued that officially sanctioning Sharia law would improve community relations."

Politically correct blathering idiot. When Ontario Canada began discussing Sharia courts for civil matters the loudest opponents were Other Muslims and the idea died a quick death, thank goodness.

To the Anglican leadership (as well as TEC) there are no absolutes - biblical or otherwise. As a result, this kind of thinking is completely consistent for them...as is thinking that allows for Sodomite marriages, abortion, and all the other Anglican goodies currently advocated by them.

How sad

Yes indeed. At times an ex-pat like myself exhausts internal anger. I have an older English coin, before the decimal system. A two shilling piece (florin). Queen Elizabeth II head is embossed on it. The words read Dei Gratia (By the grace of God) and on the reverse Fid. Def. Short for Fidei Defensor( Defender of the faith).

This man Rowan is guilty of sedition. He is guilty of heresy. Yet there is no move to defrock him. Yet voices are raised against him. This gives one hope. There was a lot to be said for the absolute devolution of power as regards the Monarch.

I have right before me a grimy and thin English penny. (1771). George III, of whom Americans gave the boot. Yes, devolution a good argument for him screwing up. Yet, one could hope for the likes of Queen Elizabeth Ist to briefly appear from the grave.

Ah Rowan, she would say. A terrible pause as she glares at Rowan..... Then "take this man away.... oh, recanted has he? Scarce a breath and he is now breathing fire against all, crying perdition against the Moors".(Just a flight of fancy on my part).

Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has sparked a political storm by calling for aspects of Sharia law to be adopted in Britain.

Sounds like the dhimmification of the UK on steroids.

Rowan Williams is a fool, a stooge and a stealth Druid priest, the epitome of ‘apostate’.

As for sharia law being incorporated into British law, the only possible benefit would be if Williams refuses to deny Christ and submit to Islam, thereby leading to his decapitation. That however would require an absolute unshakable faith in Jesus Christ (not to mention guts), and Williams words and deeds suggest otherwise.

I believe he would kiss the hindquarters of Baal with relish if it meant saving his own blasphemous and despicable hide.

He is nothing but a tool of Satan himself.
