Please do not try and justify him. I follow the issue of Islam in the West very closely and he clearly supports the sharia courts there.

Islam is an ideology hellbent on world domination and will destroy Christianity if not stopped. This so called leader is a disgrace to freedom and the UK.
Sharia is barbaric and unfair to non-Muslims. This statment says it all about him.
if we are to think intelligently about the relations between Islam and British law, we need a fair amount of ‘deconstruction’ of crude oppositions and mythologies, whether of the nature of sharia or the nature of the Enlightenment”
Now the sharia courts have stepped it up a notch and have started handling criminal cases such as domestic violence. Pandora’s Box has been opened.
I quoted from His Grace's blog.

I agree.
past Pope’s who ordered the Crusades and saved the world from Islamic rule did not know Christianity?
The Crusades were defensive wars to protect Christian populations, pilgrimage routes and the Holy Relics. They were fully justified and the Regensburg address does not say otherwise, as they were not wars of conversion. I think we will have to fight another set soon.
However, I don't think we as a culture today are in any kind of shape to fight religious wars. We should fix our own spiritual house first. Part of the problem is our lukewarm faith. Along that road, the Muslims give us a valuable lesson. So, I agree with Williams on thanking them.
