The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK seems “unavoidable”.

Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4’s World at One that the UK has to “face up to the fact” that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

Dr Williams argues that adopting some aspects of Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion…
He says Muslims should not have to choose between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.…

So does he also recommend that the British become dhimmis? :eek:
 
I would post something here but I’d probably get in trouble.

The second when Christians want to stand up like their ancestors, then things will change.
 
Once again, it really is not as bad as it is being made out. I have heard very few calls for Sharia Law to be instituted here and most of the noise made about it is by the P.C brigade and people such as the Archbishops of the C of E.
 
One should note that the root of culture is *cult *[in the sense of a system of worship, not in the disparaging sense]. When you abandon your cult you lose your culture, and someone will come along and supply you with both.

Europe is living in a cult and cultural vaccuum which is waiting to be filled.
 
I expect Brits will pay about as much attention to him as they usually do.

This is completely insane.

If they don’t want British law, then why are they moving to Britain? (Aren’t they supposed to be trying to escape from the brutalities of Shari’a law?)

And what about British citizens - are they, too, going to be forced to wear burkhas, forbidden to fly kites, and get their limbs chopped off for imaginary crimes? :mad:

I am surprised they have not asked for that in Dearborn (MI). :mad:
 
London, Feb. 7, 2008 (CWNews.com) - The Archbishop of Canterbury has raised eyebrows in England by telling the BBC that the introduction of Islamic shari’a law is “unavoidable” in Great Britain.
Archbishop Rowan Williams told a “World at One” radio broadcast that for the sake of peaceful coexistence in a diverse society, British lawmakers should come to some “accommodation with some aspects of Muslim law, as we already do with aspects of other kinds of religious law.”
The top prelate in the Church of England explained that many Muslims living in Great Britain today are uneasy with the country’s legal system and deeply devoted to their Islamic faith. For these people, he said, the adoption of some form of shari’a law could allow for a compromise between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty.”
Dr. Williams pointed out the the country’s legal system already recognizes “the internal law of religious communities” in other areas, such as in recognizing the claims of conscientious objectors. A similar approach could be applied to Islamic law regarding issues such as marriage and divorce, he said. The Anglican archbishop made it clear that he thought Muslims living in Great Britain should have access to the secular courts to appeal decisions based on shari’a law and to ensure their legal rights.

Has he gone crazy or what? Has he any idea of what that would ultimately mean???

This man is a disgrace! How can the Anglican church tolerate him? I guess there’s nothing they can do about it, though. I grieve for our mother country.

That’s right Archbishop - just roll out the red carpet and prepare for the future arrival of the antichrist.

And you are so naaaiiivve! Dream on! :yawn: Raymond Arroyo mentioned on The World Over Live on EWTN that a friend had overheard a Muslim Iman tell an Anglican priest that in 20 years time all the great cathedrals of Europe would be mosques!:mad:

I think the Arch Bishop is only advocating that Muslims have the same rights as Jewish people in the UK who can choose to use the Beth Din? He sees it as promoting the rights of faith in general against the secular world?

Yes,…except that Jewish law doesn’t have the hacking off of hands, stoning to death etc etc. etc.
If Islam were really a peacful, charitable, merciful faith - it would be reasonable. But it isn’t. Leave the muslim faith and convert to catholicism - death penalty. Give me a break! Not the same.

I think the Archbishop has made it clear he does not see sharia in the UK extending quite that far. It is more like a form of arbitration - I don,t think it would oust UK law unless the parties agreed to be bound as people can agree to be bound by arbitration in commercial disputes at present.
