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.?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
