Archbishop Says Islamic Law Unavoidable in U.K.
CNN ^ | Aired February 11, 2008 | Glenn Beck & Melanie Phillips

Posted on 02/15/2008 5:14:32 PM PST by Ooh-Ah

PHILLIPS: Well, this is the problem with the archbishop. He thinks that it`s possible to have a nice kind of Sharia, a liberal, western kind of Sharia and not have, you know, amputations and stonings and all that sort of stuff. And I`m afraid he`s very naive. He doesn`t actually understand what Sharia is.

But it`s not simply the Sharia courts that you just mentioned, which operate outside the criminal law in administering justice. We also now have Sharia-compliant finance, Sharia-compliant mortgages. Our prime minister has said he wants Britain to be the center of Islamic financing.

Our state welfare system is recognizing polygamy. It is giving welfare benefits to the multiple wives of Muslim men. Our institutions are delivering -- our occupation institutions are delivering Halal food, making special arrangements for Muslims.

Now, of course, one should be considerate to minorities, and one should allow them the space to practice their religion and form communities of faith. But what one must not do is allow a faith to take over the majority religion and culture. And I`m afraid that`s what the archbishop of Canterbury does seem to be suggesting, even though he doesn`t appear to know that is what he`s suggesting.


 
BECK:  ...Let me just ask you this. I mean, England, would you be -- would you -- if the Mormons actually practiced polygamy, would you be giving them benefits? I don`t think so.

Oh, don't worry. They have a plan for that.

They plan to BECOME the majority, and then there will be absolutely no question as to whether another faith is allowed to take over.

And that answer is, "We will Behead you, Infidel!"

If people like this were around in WWII they would now all be speaking German and working in slave labor camps and factories for the Fatherland.

Now they will be doing it for Allah - at least the ones that live after the final capitulation.

A brilliant piece on “culture diversity” becoming deadly.

America has been spared thus far from the debilitation that has struck the U. K.. The U. K. has not become more “sensitive” through the promotion of “cultural diversity": it has become debilitated.

No greater example than the Archbishop of the Anglican Church....

Many Episcopalians in the U. S. are rebelling (successfully) against this evil - yes, evil. They never accepted “Bishop” Robinson, never will. They are founding a new church that walks the walk.

The British government should enforce sharia law upon all mohammedans in Britain. If one is caught stealing cut off his hand, require all mohammedan women to wear burkas and forbid them to be in public without a male relative as a chaperon, and so on.
The British government must be the imposer and enforcer of the sharia law, this would remove the ability of sharia law to be used by mohammedans as a means of coercion. Without coercion I believe the vast majority of mohammedans would abandon islam.

That’s one of the cultural reasons behind the lack of wisdom of appeasing any new Field Marshall Montgomery. There are also more recent reasons for avoiding such situations.

It’s about time that the Brits started unloading Moslem's any way they can or in a few years there will be no England.

The British government should prosecute anybody who tries to substitute sharia for secular law for any reason whatsoever.

Like I wrote somewhere else:

Islam is a political movement which uses religion as its ideological focus. Their infiltration and takeover of the West is a classic example of using the culture of the enemy against itself. Slowly they’ve established a hundred beachheads in cities throughout the Western world. Now they’re using multiculturalism and the West’s respect for religious liberty to create a nation-within-a-nation. Eventually, when the numbers warrant, they’ll make their move, although I would imagine that they’re more than happy to allow the apathetic, converts, and useful idiots do the job for them without resorting to war.

If they’re successful, the world enters a long Dark Ages, liberty dies, human freedom disappears, and people once again become pawns and slaves. As always, I fear for my son when I consider things like this.

As usual, the Archbishop of Canterbury opens mouth, inserts miter.
