ISLAMOPHOBIA: Anti Muslim Racism
http://www.islamophobia-watch.com/Anti-sharia protestors bound over
Two men who protested against adopting Muslim laws in Britain during the Archbishop of Canterbury's Easter Sunday sermon have had the charges against them dropped. The protest came as Dr Rowan Williams faced widespread criticism for comments he made in February, when he said he believed the adoption of some aspects of Sharia law in the UK seemed "unavoidable".
After Monday's brief hearing at Canterbury Magistrates' Court, Kyle Spotswood, 26, from Dagenham Road, Sheffield, issued a challenge to Dr Williams to take part in a public debate about the issues surrounding the adoption of aspects of Islamic Sharia law in the UK.
He and Sidney Cordle, 52, from Knowle Lane, Sheffield, were arrested last month after they interrupted Dr Williams's Easter Sunday sermon at Canterbury Cathedral. They stood in front of the pulpit, shouting and waving placards bearing the words, "Support the persecuted church" and "No to Sharia law".
The two men were bound over, which means they must promise to keep the peace during the next 12 months or face a £100 fine.

In 2006 Spotswood stood unsuccessfully for Sheffield council as a Christian Peoples Alliance candidate.
