This is not new but I thought it useful to remind us why we should not give an inch to the "Aliens from The Planet Islam" on sharia law or any other damned thing. There is a glimpse of blue sky however, the Sharia law controversy foolishly raised by Rowan Williams - Archbishop of Canterbury - brought a sharp rebuttal from Gordon Brown and many other politicians and the all the mainstream media.
The "proverbial" has well and truly hit the fan and the Archbishop is in it up to his neck. On the other hand we could say that the subject of "Sharia" has been brought into the open and well and truly thrashed.
It could be a long time before the Muslims bring the subject up again. Was the Archbishop being incredibly stupid or was he being extremely devious, with the end result being what he intended all along? Somehow though I don't think he is that clever or is he?

I don't think he's that clever. He has track record of being a Marxist quisling and appeaser:
"Whilst chaplain of Clare College, Cambridge, Williams took part in anti-nuclear demonstrations at US bases. In 1985, he was arrested for singing psalms as part of a protest organized by the Committee for Nuclear Disarmament at Lakenheath, an American air base in Suffolk; his fine was paid by his college. At this time he was a member of the left-wing Anglo-Catholic Jubilee Group headed by Father Kenneth Leech and he collaborated with Leech in a number of publications including the anthology of essays to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Assize Sermon entitled Essays Catholic and Radical in 1983.
He was in New York at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks, only yards from Ground Zero delivering a lecture; he subsequently wrote a short book, 'Writing in the Dust', offering reflections on the event. In reference to Al Qaeda, he claimed that terrorists "... can have serious moral goals"[9] and that the attackers on 9/11 should not be called evil: "Bombast about evil individuals doesn't help in understanding anything."[10] He has subsequently worked with Muslim leaders in England, and on the third anniversary of 9/11 spoke, by invitation, at the al-Azhar al-Sharif Institute in Cairo on the subject of the Trinity. He stated that the followers of the will of God should not be led into ways of violence. He contributed to the debate prior to the 2005 General Election criticising assertions that immigration was a cause of crime."

He is Howard Zinn, and has no business being Archbishop. Let him slink off into some misionary work, or join Carter and build homes for the needy, where such people are needed and are personally fulfilled. These men are not leaders, they are self loathing weak reeds whose need to be liked by those who despise them is an inner compulsion which outweighs any thoughtful consideration.
Sometimes you just gotta love your enemies.
You gotta love it when an idiot like Choudhary tells you the truth, don't you?
