Yes I was deeply offended by the headlines, but more than that, incredibly frustrated that it has come to this, that a publicly elected government representative can make such vile remarks about an entire community so unashamedly because he thinks he can get away with it.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is said to be overwhelmed by the "hostility of the response" after his call for parts of Sharia law to be recognised in the UK. Friends of Dr Rowan Williams say he is in a state of shock and dismayed by the criticism from his own Church. All the main political parties, secular groups and some senior Muslims have expressed dismay at his comments.
With Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali's remarks about no-go areas in the newspapers recently we decided to interview members of the public to see if they had heard of the issue and whether they agreed with the Bishop.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has gone and done it. He mentioned the “M” word. Let’s hope he’s prepared for all the fire and brimstone he’s about to face. The Archbishop gave a radio interview and later gave a speech where he raised the issue of sharia law (Islamic based jurisprudence) and how he thought that its adoption at least in part “seems unavoidable”.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said that it deplored the decision
and accused the Government of caving in to “unreasonable demands
spearheaded by the Tory leader”. Muhammad Abdul Bari, the Secretary-General of the MCB, said that Dr
al-Qaradawi enjoyed respect as a scholar throughout the Muslim world.
“I am afraid this decision will send the wrong message to Muslims
everywhere about the state of British society and culture,” he said.
