PM Brown rejects Archbishop's call for Sharia Law
2008-02-08
The Prime Minister rapidly distanced himself from Dr Williams's view. Gordon Brown's spokesman said: "Our general position is that sharia law cannot be used as a justification for committing breaches of English law, nor should the principles of sharia law be included in a civil court for resolving contractual disputes.

"The Prime Minister believes British law should apply in this country, based on British values."
Interesting, coupled with the pending extradition of Abu Hamza, aka Hook-hand.

#15  IOn, WAFF thread > DO WE TURN TO AMERICA OR EUROPE? Author - BRITAIN cannot have TWO BEST FRIENDS, i.e. an alleged INCREASINGLY ISOLATIONIST AMERICA versus INTEGRATIVE EU = EUROPE. May tear NATO apart.

#11  What's needed is a real live prophet doing an Anaias and Sapphira number on his ass. Made everyone in the first century Jerusalem Church sit up, pay attention, and fly straight.

#10  It was bound to happen eventually. The first openly-Muslim Archbishop of Canterbury.

#7  Dr. Williams takes liberal "tolerance" guilt to a natural conclusion.

"Please behead me because I am so unworthy!"

#6  Because if Williams is removed from his phoney baloney job, can the rest of the rent seekers be far behind?

#5  Why hasn't Williams been removed? He's been an embarrassment from the day of installation. He's committed acts which would have gotten him executed in any other age, and strikes me as an apostate from any reasonable interpretation of Anglo-Catholicism.

#3   Sharia Law *puke*

Dr Rowan Williams and the Ledership of the Anglican Church of Mother England Are All Part Of The Huge Pus Filled Fag Loving Carbuncle at the TOP, It has infected all the top Leadership and mid-level Bishops. [with some exceptions of course]

It Sorely Requires a Deep Lancing and Super Root Out to Remove all that Infected Queer OOZE, A Magnum ZIT De-CAP IOW, [I speaky metaphorically of course] AND A Complete Hose-Down with Industrial Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Virus Soap!
/ok a little understated >:)
