Archbishop of Canterbury says sharia law in UK "unavoidable"
ASHISH:
The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK "seems unavoidable".
Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4's World at One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
Dr Williams argues that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.
For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.
He says Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty".
An approach to law which simply said - there's one law for everybody - I think that's a bit of a danger
Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
In an exclusive interview with BBC correspondent Christopher Landau, ahead of a lecture to lawyers in London later on Monday, Dr Williams argues this relies on Sharia law being better understood. At the moment, he says "sensational reporting of opinion polls" clouds the issue.
He stresses that "nobody in their right mind would want to see in this country the kind of inhumanity that's sometimes been associated with the practice of the law in some Islamic states; the extreme punishments, the attitudes to women as well".
But Dr Williams says the argument that "there's one law for everybody... I think that's a bit of a danger".
"There's a place for finding what would be a constructive accommodation with some aspects of Muslim law, as we already do with some other aspects of religious law."
Dr Williams adds: "What we don't want either, is I think, a stand-off, where the law squares up to people's religious consciences."
"We don't either want a situation where, because there's no way of legally monitoring what communities do... people do what they like in private in such a way that that becomes another way of intensifying oppression inside a community."

The trouble, Dr Williams, is that muslims do not want PART of sharia, they want it all....and want YOU and the rest of the non muslims to obey it or else.
Another problem with the family disputes is that sharia is so contrary to family laws already enforced that it would be impossible...who would enforce it? Would British police be expected to enforce sharia, or would muslims demand their own police, like in saudi.
If muslims feel uncomfortable with secular laws in a country that took them in....there is one very easy solution...they can leave the same way they came.
Ultra Requete:
This another proof of hipocricy of the left, When they forced their mariage and family civil rights down our throats they didn't said: Christians or Jews should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty". What the laying bigots. >:(
Ulli:
His theology is a nightmare and he loves Islam.
Everybody in Europe knows, that he is an evil antisemite and a Muzzie-lover. >:(
Ultra Requete:
Yes he is, and his words are clear proofs of Eurabia theory. Soon there will be two kind of euro regions in EU one run by radical secularists other by radical islalmists... guess what in both Christains will not be welcomed and both willl be "Juden Frei".
