No it is not. The man is a dhimmi and Islamic butt kisser who support sharia courts in the UK. The man is a huge part of the problem. If he is for freedom he would not support sharia in any form.

Regardless of Williams' attitude in general, I agree with his statements referring to "debate about religion into public life".

Incidentally, his comment about sharia courts was misrepresented by the media.

The Archbishop made no proposals for sharia in either the lecture or the interview, and certainly did not call for its introduction as some kind of parallel jurisdiction to the civil law.

Instead, in the interview, rather than proposing a parallel system of law, he observed that "as a matter of fact certain provisions of sharia are already recognised in our society and under our law" . When the question was put to him that: "the application of sharia in certain circumstances - if we want to achieve this cohesion and take seriously peoples' religion - seems unavoidable?", he indicated his assent.

'Sharia law' - What did the Archbishop actually say?
