Clueless in Canterbury on church-state and Islam

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, head of the world’s Anglicans, has called for introducing Islamic sharia into the U.K. He claims the need is there because Muslims don’t relate to British law.

Is he effing nuts? That’s certainly been the reaction across the British political spectrum. And, while Britain isn’t as irreligious as most of continental Western Europe, it’s more irreligious than the U.S. And besides, doesn’t he have enough to do herding the cats of the Anglican Communion, especially over openly gay priests in the U.S.?
