THE Latest Greatest

The Archbishop of Canterbury has attracted widespread criticism after appearing to back the adoption of some aspects of Sharia law in the UK.
Dr Rowan Williams said the UK had to "face up to the fact" some citizens did not relate to the British legal system.
The BBC understands from sources who work on Christian-Muslim interfaith issues that the Dr Williams has faced a barrage of criticism from within the church and has been genuinely taken aback by how his words were received.
The Bishop of Hulme, the Rt Rev Stephen Lowe, criticised the "disgraceful" way in which the archbishop had been "ridiculed" and "lampooned" by some. "We have probably one of the greatest and the brightest archbishops of Canterbury we have had for many a long day," he said.

Lets ‘face up to the fact’ There have ALWAYS been some citizens of England who did and do not relate to the British legal system ! ! A whole bunch of them. AND guess what !! That did not change the law before. Just ask the guys who are currently incarcerated in jail if they relate to the law ? ? Ask average citizen on the street if he or she relates to the British legal system ! !

IF it is true that we have ‘Probably’ one of the greatest and the brightest archbishops – that therefore those who went before were not so great or bright – it is little wonder that the church has in the past been so dumb !

Yes of course, there should be ONE law for everyone. Yes of course it is dumb to adopt an uncivilized code of ethics in an otherwise civil country – though lately we wonders …. Yes what of the 60% who do not want a change of law; didn’t we go through this ‘Majority’ rules thing in our dumocratic Government debates ?

BUT the big problem is the mix of church and state. Here we have a genuine church dumb bell who thinks that – I suppose just because he has a big title ‘arch’ that he can therefore tell the state what to do ! ! Didn’t we go through this whole separation of church and state business ? I am NOT advocating that the citizens of a country can not run their government just because they happen to belong to a church. The secular government IS obligated to have just laws ! ! The citizens of the country ARE obligated to keep the country morally clean ! ! But Arch y is NOT a private citizen. Of course NOT. The leader of the state should not be a leader in the church just as the leader of a church should not be a leader in the state. AND that Includes making public comments. There is plenty to talk about in the church without making political comment and there is plenty to occupy state government without messing with religion.

Muslim Imams, Popes, and all other such people take note. Presidents, Prime Ministers, and all other such dictators take note.
