THE END OF BRITAIN AND THE WEST?


ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY SUGGESTS WE OPEN ARMS TO SOME SHARIA Telegraph
The Archbishop of Canterbury has been widely criticised after he called for aspects of Islamic sharia law to be adopted in Britain.

Dr Rowan Williams said that it "seems inevitable" that elements of the Muslim law, such as divorce proceedings, would be incorporated into British legislation.

The Archbishop's controversial stance has received widespread criticism from Christian and secular groups, the head of the equality watchdog, several high-profile Muslims and MPs from all parties.

Amid the storm of protest, Downing Street moved quickly to distance itself from the Archbishop's remarks, insisting that British law would and should remain based on British values.


THE RESPONSE IN BRITAIN HASN'T BEEN ALL NEGATIVE.  SOME BISHOPS SUPPORT THE ARCHBISHOP'S POSITION.  AND BEFORE YOU FEEL RELIEF THAT YOU LIVE IN THE U.S. AND NOT BRITAIN, BETTER FIRST CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LIVE IN TEXAS.
