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.

uh, yeah. And the people being short-changed wouldn't have an opt-out option in that case.

Also, I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that recognizing Sharia marriage law for even some UK citizens would put the UK in violation on the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which specifically mandates that signatory States must have faultless divorce laws.
