This guy just can’t resist peeing on the theological electric fence, can’t he?

[kromike]

Boy, this guy just can’t wait to be a dhimmi.

[massgopguy]

“Will no one relieve me of this low born priest?”

[agere_contra]

What an Asshat.

[Soliton]

What a putz.

Muslim doctrine is offensive to Christians

[SuziQ]

So is Judaism, Archbishop, but since both Judaism and Christianity predate Islam, I don’t think it’s the former two who need to change anything.

[alarm rider]

With “religious leaders” like this guy, no wonder England is circling the drain.

[The_Reader_David]

Is this news?

The Gospel is an offense to those who cling to this world which is passing away. Islam with its sensual, fleshly ‘paradise’ and its demonic doctrine of conversion by the sword is most assuredly of this world, so naturally the Gospel is an offense to its adherents, even as it is to the self-avowedly secular.

[Amadeo]

Unbelievable.

Rowan Williams has been a disaster. Not just for Anglican/Episcopalian communicants. Why doesn’t he just take off his hat and put on a turban?

Former Cradle Episcopalian. Now Evangelical.

[rjsimmon]

Trinitarian doctrine conflicts with the Islamic view that there is just one all-powerful God.

Utter nonsense.

The doctrine of the Trinity maintains the core belief in ONE omnipotent God; revealed in three persons.

It is the misconception on the part of Islam to attribute the belief in three gods to Christianity.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Ayatollah of Canterbury speaks again.

[Califelephant]

"He also said that the Christian belief in the Trinity - that God is father, son and Holy Ghost at the same time - 'is difficult, sometimes offensive, to Muslims.'"

Yep, the Trinity is really offensive to Muslims, but I'm sure they won't have any problem with the Church of England ordaining gay priests and bishops.

[mrmargaritaville]

As that great philosopher Steve Martin once said

WELL EXXXXCUUUUUUUSE ME!

[JWinNC]

"In it, Dr Williams said that violence is incompatible with the beliefs of either faith and that..."

Me thinks Dr. Williams does not know much about Islam.

[theDentist]

He’s just figuring this out? Has it dawned on him that Muslim doctrine is offensive to Christians? Yet we don’t cut their throats for it when we come across them.

[Poincare]

Perhaps the Church of England should bow to Muslim sensibilities and Sharia law regarding homosexuality and gay clergy.

[L98Fiero]

“Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims”

“Show tolerance towards their intolerance!”

or

“Submit to your masters”

All the same.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Everything is offensive to Mohammadans.
