Assaulting the Spire

And rightfully so.

I have said and thought for years that the Rowan Williams was an absolute pitiful leader of the Church of England and his comments over the years have backed up my claims. Now, as if this was shocking to everyone else but me, he comes out and says that people should recognize Sharia law and that is how they should govern their own lives.  So, what will he say when the spousal abuse statistic skyrockets because of all the “admonishing” that the Sharia law followers commit on their wives?

Here’s some reactions to his comments:

In an astonishing attack, one senior Church of England clergyman demanded Dr Rowan Williams step down immediately and branded him “gullible”.

Meanwhile, the Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, claimed it would be “simply impossible” to introduce Sharia law in Britain.

Hmmm…does Mr. Nazir-Ali have anything else to day?

Today he claimed that Sharia would be “in tension” with current laws, including the rights of women.

Dr Nazir-Ali, who holds dual British and Pakistani citizenship, also added that Muslim women’s groups had blocked an attempt to introduce Sharia in marriage dispute cases in Canada.

Debates on Sharia “are not an argument for disturbing the integrity of a legal tradition which is rooted in the quite different moral and spiritual vision deriving from the Bible,” he concluded.

In a separate attack, a clergyman identified only as a long-standing member of the Church’s governing body the General Synod, told The Times that many people had now lost confidence in the Archbishop.

(Added emphasis) Yeah, thats exactly what I had thought. Despite the facts that Sharia law is in direct opposition to the type of moral standards of the Bible is it also in direct opposition to the rights of women who probably don’t think that being flogged and verbally abused is what constitutes as a “good date”.

As for the whole “people have lost confidence in the Archbishop” comment….really? Did it take you people this long to figure out that the guy is nothing but a deceptive appeaser to other standards and beliefs? If he wants to make comments like that he needs to step down from the position he holds and leave the Church of England because his type of destructive rhetoric is not welcome there.

And to be honest? I denounce him completely. To think that a man who is the leader of the Church of England would allow such laws to be recognized that would put many women in danger and others as well. Shameful.

Just. freakin’. Shameful.
