In an [interview on Radio 4's *World at One*](http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_7230000/newsid_7233200?redirect=7233254.stm…

Apartheid is back, but this time it’s progressive.

That scares the hell out of me.

America Alone was the most frightening book I have ever read, and sadly I think Mark Steyn will be shown to be right.

chsw

this guy is a whacked out liberal, and I suspect it comes from his strong Catholicism that seems to guide him more than anything else

If he represented Catholicism he would still be a Catholic. He isn’t.

When does it become safe to be openly against Islam, moderate or otherwise, especially to preserve the state? Manners will be the death of us.

Never. But do it anyway.

What a fine, upstanding Defender of the Faith he is! Rowan Williams? Rowan Atkinson could do a better job!

Queen Elisabeth is the Defender of the Faith. But yeah I agree with you the man is pathetic.

IRGBNI – Islamic Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. All of these stories we keep hearing come out of England. The United Kingdom takes its cues from Westminster yes but that doesn’t mean that if Muslims took control of Parliament that everyone would bow down automatically. I think the Muslims could take England and probably Wales (mostly Methodists, in case anyone cares). Scotland? Possibly but I think no. Northern Ireland? No. Not a chance.

Are English churches state run like they are in continental Europe.

If so, gee, chalk one more up to the wonders of Socialism.

State-run churches predate socialism by centuries.

Thanks for the memories Great Britian, sorry to see you go but that’s what happens when political correctness and beta males run your country.

Sorry to see you go? What a rousing defense of Western civillisation. Churchillian in its pre-emptive defeatism.

So either Christians are insane, or this Bishop is Christian in name only. In either case, this doesn’t help our case.

I wouldn’t worry about it. He isn’t a Christian. He can say he is but that doesn’t make it so.

What kind of bafoon thinks that actually will work?

Hey, some people don’t ‘relate’ to our system here in the US, either.

We call them criminals.

Mr. Bingley on February 7, 2008 at 10:18 AM

I thought we called them politicians.

After all, a guy in a suit runs a Ponzi Scheme stealing money from young poor people and he is thrown in jail. Another guy runs a Ponzi Scheme stealing money from youndg poor people and he is praised as a statesman.

And we wonder why people think Christians are insane?

So either Christians are insane, or this Bishop is Christian in name only. In either case, this doesn’t help our case.

The Archpussy of Canterbury needs to have his face slapped.

I sympathize with the anger, but that phrase crosses a line with me.

They rule over religious, family law and civil matters. Try to get up in arms across the board folks.

In Jewish Law, Jewish parties are forbidden to take their civil disputes to a secular court and are required to have those disputes adjudicated by a Beth Din.
The London Beth Din sits as an arbitral tribunal in respect of civil disputes and the parties to any such dispute are required to sign an Arbitration Agreement prior to a hearing taking place. The effect of this is that the award given by the Beth Din has the full force of an Arbitration Award and may be enforced (with prior permission of the Beth Din) by the civil courts.

Williams has spoken about this before, and he wants to essentially grant autonomy to any self-organized Islamic group who wants to hand out civil AND criminal punishments

He has implied that this ‘jurisdiction’ will in some cases extend to non-Muslims, which is bat-sh+t crazy and dangerous

If you crash your Lotus Europa into property owned by some mmosque, for example. THEY sue you in THEIR courts–and THEY charge you with a criminal offense……….

Once you get the society to accept religious law of another group then you start pumping up yours… because, it’s only right…

Skywise on February 7, 2008 at 9:51 AM

What “religious law” is there in Christianity that parallels Sharia? The guy is simply a dhimmi of the first order who sees that Europe is on a path toward Islamic domination and wants to curry favor with the enemy early.

His support of Sharia is an indictment, not only of himself and his position in the Anglican church, but, also, of Socialism itself.

The battle in Britain will be between the ravages of Islam and Socialism.

And that battle will be waged in America – because of America’s headlong drive towards the Socialist Utopia and political correctness.

The point: America’s headlong journey towards the Socialist Utopia will lead to the reducing of the Judeo-Christian faith.
