A Schism over Shari’a in the Church of England
** by David J. Rusin
American Thinker**
May 11, 200
*
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and Bishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali have emerged as central combatants in the dispute between two fundamentally opposed models of social organization: multiculturalism and universalism. The former bestows equal standing upon different cultures in the public square. The latter bestows equal standing upon individuals who wield a common set of rights and responsibilities. Which system prevails will ultimately determine the level of danger that homegrown Islamists pose to Britain, Europe, and the broader West.*
*
*Nazir-Ali believes that Britain’s campaign to reconstitute itself as a multicultural society has failed, and he explained why in a January 6 op-ed. By emphasizing differences over common values, his country has promoted alienation among Muslims, many of whom are “living as separate communities, continuing to communicate in their own languages, and having minimum need for building healthy relationships with the majority.” Since segregation breeds extremism, Islamist-dominated “no-go areas” now dot the map.
The death threats that followed Nazir-Ali’s essay only bolstered his thesis. “The irony is that I had similar threats when I was a bishop in Pakistan,” he noted, “but I never thought I would have them here.” The rejection of reason is particularly disturbing to this learned man: “If you disagree, that must be met by counterarguments, not by trying to silence people. It was a threat not just to me, but to my family. … It gave me sleepless nights.”
*
*Rowan Williams was likewise losing sleep — over the “damage” done by Nazir-Ali’s frank assessment of multicultural pieties. Speaking to the BBC on February 7, he ignited a firestorm of his own by suggesting that the official acceptance of some facets of Shari’a not only “seems unavoidable,” but could actually improve social cohesion. To Williams, the idea that “there’s one law for everybody and that’s all there is to be said, and anything else that commands your loyalty or allegiance is completely irrelevant in the processes of the courts — I think that’s a bit of a danger.”

Please pray for the safety of Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali and his family and that the Archbishop of Canterbury come to his senses along with a lot of his countrymen. Please also pray that the Islamists who threatened Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali will see the error of their ways, repent and see the light of Christ.
And, Please remember to pray for union between the Traditional Anglican Communion and the Holy Father so that courageous orthodox Christians such as Bishop Nazir-Ali will have a safe place to practice and teach the Catholic faith delivered to the Apostles and taught by the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church in union with the Apostolic See.
Thank You.
Your Brother in Christ, Michael
