I’ve heard that the Archbishop of Canterbury has suggested that the UK adopt parts of Sharia law so that “Muslims should not have to choose between the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.
Yes they should, its part of the price for living in a country – you live by the laws of the land.
I am disgusted that any Englishman or representative of the C of E could even consider the adoption of alien laws in some attempt to assuage a foreign culture.
By suggesting that parts of Sharia law should be adopted the Archbishop is betraying his church and more worryingly his country. If people want to live under Sharia law there are plenty of countries which have it. It is not wanted here. If people want to live here they should do so under OUR laws; it is not for us to adopt alien laws to please newcomers, newcomers need to obey and respect our laws. Rarely has a pronouncement by a bishop made me so angry. He should resign henceforth; he has shown that he is no protector of either the church and its values or the values of the British people as a whole.

You are absolutely right Nick! How do Archbishops step down then? Is it as easy to push Church Leaders out as it is for politicians?
Or not, as the case would be for Blair, Prescott or Brown?
