From the BBC:
The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of 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 parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.
For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.
Oh, goody! Now maybe the BBC can also televise live the stonings of women that have a false charge of adultery given them by a bunch of crusty old imams.
First let’s look at the context here. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, as well as the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The present archbishop is this idiot Rowan Williams. Williams is the 104th in the list of Archbishops of Canterbury, in a line that goes back more than 1400 years to the first, Saint Augustine of Canterbury, who founded the see, the oldest in England, in the year 597. Along with the Church of England as a whole, the Archbishops of Canterbury were in communion with the See of Rome until the English Reformation, around 1534, when the independence of the English Church was established. In the order of precedence, the Archbishop of Canterbury is ranked above all individuals in the realm, with the exception of the Sovereign and members of the Royal Family.
So whenever this clown speaks, people listen.
Says The Moxargon Group:
Dr. Rowan Williams is basically saying that the Judeo-Christian foundation of British liberty isn’t worth fighting for because it offends the sort of people who don’t want or deserve liberty.
What he should be saying is that Britain is a nation built on Judeo-Christian Liberty, and that all those who don’t like it, can leave it.
Of course you’d have to actually believe in something to say something like that, and I get the feeling that Dr. Rowan Williams is much too “intellectual” to actually believe in anything, let alone fight for it.
Social cohesion comes from people adapting to a new and ever evolving society, not from accepting the backward demands of thugs and bullies for fear of offending them. Better to get your head hacked off than live a sniveling little snot under the boot of a tyrant.
You do not build a cohesive society, by socially cutting people off from each other through custom-made legal systems based on ethnicity and religion. Instead you create a bunch of little societies, that are all at each others throats until cohesion is achieved through one side killing all of the other.
Ouch.
And “a bunch of little societies, that are all at each others throats until cohesion is achieved through one side killing all of the other” sounds strangely like Merry Ole Europe during the Middle Ages, doesn’t it?
Even forgetting the concept of “equal protection under the law”, why is mighty Britain bending over backwards to accommodate these immigrants, deferring to them instead of the people that actually built their once-great nation?
