Sharia comments trigger criticism

The Archbishop of Canterbury has come under fire after appearing to back the adoption of some aspects of Sharia law in the UK...

...He said adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law could help social cohesion. For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.


What, are you nuts?? Separate courts?? Are you fucking insane??

Dr Rowan Williams said the UK had to "face up to the fact" some citizens did not relate to the British legal system.

Then that is a problem "some citizens" have to put up with.

"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".

No, statements like this are the real danger. Do any world leaders today ever crack open a history book?

The Muslim Council of Britain said it was a complex issue in need of debate, but stressed it would only involve a "small aspect" of the law.

Ahhhh! no no no!
