Rowan Williams - Sharia Law

Oh deary me. What was he thinking?
I know it's "the thing" to do - to show the world how inclusive we are as a society, how tolerant we are.
But did it work?
The Archbishop of Canterbury may have felt it was necessary to make the Muslim community feel accepted in British society but in my view, he just further alienated them.
Since the Archbishop's comments on Sharia Law were made public, every single newspaper/ news programme has carried apologetic messages from the Muslim community - including residents of Birmingham - saying they really don't agree with having a different set of rules. After all, past generations moved to this country and had a clear idea of what to expect - especially as they knew they were moving to a Christian country. Why make them apologise for their right to live here like everyone else and attack them for the views of someone else.
In the meantime, Anglicans are absolutely livid and so they should be. Isn't he supposed to be protecting the interests of the Church of England?
And don't mention far right groups who are having a field day over this one!
So no, we can't gain from adding aspects of Sharia Law, Dr Williams. It should be one set of rules for EVERYONE, regardless of religion or race.
All we will gain is a backlash against the nation's main religion, increased hatred directed towards Britain's Muslim community (like it's not bad enough already) and every other ethnic minority group while we are at it.
