Skyrad 0 #27 February 10, 2008 QuoteWould Sharia law mean people of a muslim origin suddenly being held accountable under a law sytem maybe they have no desire to be under? What would happen to them and how would the UK justice system protect those individuals in such circumstances? Where would the law start and where would it finish....at your ethnic origins? Would it be "tough, you have muslim parents hence you are a muslim and hence under Sharia law?". In this case introducing Sharia law would be like throwing the bird at all these individuals who want to live as british citizens. It seems a very dangerous and cloud cukkoo land idea to me. Maybe I am an intolerant twat though? I think he is talking about the more civil elements of Sharia law such as divorce and inheretance. So I think you'd be able to opt fr either Sharia or UK law depending on your wishes. Personnally I'm against such a move as I feel it would be the start of a slippery slope.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Which includes the Episcopal Church here in the US. As if it's not already an embarassment enough to admit to being Episcopalian, this asshole has to go and say we should accept a third world code of law that treats women like cattle ? Our whole denomination is doomed. LMFAOWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

tbrown 26 #31 February 10, 2008 Quote Quote This guy Atkinson is unfortunately not only the leader of the Church of England, but the entire worldwide Anglican Communion. Which includes the Episcopal Church here in the US. I sympathise, but isn't it a bit much to blame it on Mr Bean and Blackadder? Duh, I don't get it.... What I don't understand is why Muslims who love their Sharia law so much don't stay in, or return to the Islamic sewer states of their choice, where they can lop off all the heads and/or hands they like. A system of law that flogs and imprisons a teenage girl for the "crime" of being gang raped by married men is EVIL and must be resisted by all CIVILISED people. A British commisioner in India once addressed the "custom" of suttee, in which widows were burned alive on the funeral pyres of their deceased husbands. He said if that was the local custom, he understood. But the locals had to understand that HIS custom was to hang the men who would do such a thing, so he would be happy to build a gallows next to the funeral pyre, so that both people could practice their customs together. Now these people were Hindu and not Muslim, but the guy got his point across and made it stick. Seriously, I wonder that Elizabeth II doesn't excercise her right as Defender of the Faith (it is still a state church in the UK) to call the good bishop on the carpet and tell him to put a sock in it.

jakee 1,594 #33 February 10, 2008 QuoteDuh, I don't get it.... Rowan Williams is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Rowan Atkinson is a most excellent British comedian and sitcom actor who, to confuse matters, has done several sketches playing the character of a Bishop who co-incidentally looks and sounds exactly like Rowan Williams.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
