It appears an avalanche is indeed coming down on Rowan Williams head:
The Archbishop of Canterbury continues to face calls for his resignation despite attempts to defuse the row over his Islamic Sharia law comments.
Dr Rowan Williams has been condemned from inside and outside his church for saying the adoption of parts of the law was "unavoidable" in Britain.
At least two General Synod members have called for him to quit and he has been heckled as he left a church service.
But supporters say his comments have been misinterpreted.
The Archbishop is said to be shocked and hurt by the hostility his comments have provoked, and on his website he said he "certainly did not call for its introduction as some kind of parallel jurisdiction to the civil law".
He's hurt? Well, fuck him. Imagine how all those who have been abused by Sharia law feel.
And, when he says that he did not call for Sharia to be introduced as a parellel system, it's bullshit. He did indeed call for a parallel system, the fucking asshole (I hate fucking liars, especially when they are trying to weasel out of bullshit, and especially bullshit of an epochal scale like this).
Here's what the Archbishop said:
Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4's World at One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
He says Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty".
"What we don't want either, is I think, a stand-off, where the law squares up to people's religious consciences."
Meanwhile, the Right Reverend George Cassidy sounds like he's almost as much of a traitor as Rowan Williams, in that he is a full-apologist for the Archbishop:
The Right Reverend George Cassidy, Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, is the latest colleague to offer support.
He described the reaction as "hysterical" and said the Archbishop was simply trying to take forward a serious public debate.
"The Archbishop can count on the support of all serious minded people who are prepared to tackle the challenges of our complex society," he said.
In other words, all of us who think the Archbishop is completely out of line are instantly dismissed as not being "serious-minded." So, if Cassidy has his way, dissenters would not be invited to the debate, which I guess means there would be no debate.
Well, too bad, Cassidy. It looks like your friend the Rowan Williams is going down.
