The Archbishop of Canterbury's office has withdrawn an interfaith award given to a Muslim cleric after past comments surfaced in which he praised Usama bin Laden.
Maulana Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi received the Hubert Walter Award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation at Lambeth Palace last Friday, during a ceremony that coincided with the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Lambeth Palace announced the reversal Thursday after previous comments by Ashrafi had "come to light," causing it to reconsider the award.
"It is a longstanding principle of interfaith dialogue and co-operation that we must engage with one another across deeply-held differences, and that remains the case," Lambeth Palace said in a statement.

Not for standing next to his house slave
Stupid woke Karen
Their post-modern ideology is based on nothing firm or eternally true, so it will ALWAYS run into hypocrisy and contradiction.
“during a ceremony that coincided with the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.”
WOW...talk about in your face!!!
At this point, best shot of the day.
“Extremist” Muslims are the ones who want to peacefully co-exist with other religions, governments, and belief systems.
And the Fox story leaves out that incredible picture of the award winner and his sex slave along with the Archbishop.

Here's the sap-happy "Archbishop of Canterbury" in clerical garb – with the Paki Muslim cleric in white turban and billowing gold-trimmed robes – accepting the award for "Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation". Mr Ashrafi's wife looks on - scarily swathed in black hijab w/ slitty eyes showing.
According to the BBC, the Muslim Ashrafi said in 2007 that bin Laden — the architect of the 9/11 attacks — had “been fighting for Islam against the Russians, Americans and British.” The BBC also reported that Ashrafi said he would give bin Laden the title “Saifullah,” meaning “Sword of God.”
Ashrafi told the BBC the backlash against him as an “unfair campaign.” He said he made the remarks about bin Laden in 2007 in response to “the hurt felt by many Muslims” over the British government’s decision to knight “The Satanic Verses” author Salman Rushdie.
And what about the gross dumbness of the stupid “female Archbishop
of Canterbury” for sap-happily bestowing the award on the Muslim?
What an Islamaphobe
ACTION NOW: Call or write the BBC——include the image posted here of the Archbishop of Canterbury awarding the Muslim. Get the image of the stupid female Archbishop spread far and wide.
