Giving Away the Store

Damien Thompson of Holy Smoke noted that Rowan Williams, Anglican Archbishop, supports sharia law in England -- which is like saying "Let's give away the store." (See for yourself here.)

To which the Times Online Religious news correspondent Ruth Gledhill asks discerningly without putting too fine a point on it, Has the Archbishop Gone Bonkers?

When dealing with a people who will not assimilate and whose unmitigated migration to England assures demographic ascendency, to give them their "law" is to succumb. The archbishop has a peculiar reading of the Gospel.

Bending over back-a**-ward has never had such a cogent spokesman as the Church of England prelate. The allures of dhimmitude must hold special urgency for him.
