Williams and Sharia

[owl]

If Rowan Williams is so enamoured of Sharia law, why doesn't he emigrate to Saudi Arabia? However, to get the full benefit, I suspect he may have to be a woman subject to Sharia.

My da: The man's a buffoon.What does he think would happen to a Christian minority in a Sharia country who wanted their own laws?

The thought of deliberately setting up a legal system that isn't one law for all turns my stomach, frankly.

I apologise for my comment to you in my journal debate which was way out of line. However, what this whole mess has proved to me is that we desperately need to have a disestablished church in England, that the secular power needs to be utterly uninfluenced by religion (any religion) and that the Archbishop needs to be stripped of all political power forthwith.

Apology accepted.
Yes, I agree completely about decoupling the CoE and the government. A "Christian government" ends up a nasty mess of one or the other. If the secular power is influenced by components with integrity (I suspect it may select against this, sadly) and common human morality we would get on better.
