2. Canterbury in Mecca ?
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (02.08.08)
Interesting to know what his boss, the Quenn Elisabeth, thinks about !
3. Winston Churchill was a mythical character
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (02.08.08)
That is what a large proportion of young people in England believe! And they believe that mythical characters were real! Countdown begins to the destruction of England!
4. No wonder brits dont do church any more
(02.08.08)
with idiots like this.
5. britain the capital of antisemetism and islamic barbarism.
mira ,   israel   (02.08.08)
6. bad idea
Josh ,   Atlanta   (02.08.08)
The desire to be tolerant and sensitive is being used as a trojan horse for a sweeping changes in the law that will not be possible to reverse. You can't have it both ways. If you respect Sharia, then infidels and women WILL surrender all their legal rights anytime they encounter any Muslim in the judicial system. Otherwise how are you "respecting" Sharia?? In the way that they love to describe it, they already have the right to exercise their own laws so long as they don't violate British laws. So, just what is it that they're clamoring to have changed? They want the upper hand legally...then the upper hand politically, and then it's game over for everyone else.
7. Sharia coming to UK
moriah ,   sacramento,USA   (02.08.08)
UK as we have known it in our lifetime is sinking into oblivion due to their treatment of Jews. Those who bless Israel are blessed and you know the rest...
8. welcome to the middle ages!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.08.08)
for starters, sharia law does not recognize the equality of women. this means that a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man. and women's rights, both in inheritance and divorce, are also lesser. why would any woman (or civilized brit in general) agree to such nonsense? and why would the archbishop of canterbury, or the prime minister of britain, advocate or even allow, such an obvious violation of women's rights?
9. I have a question
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (02.08.08)
Lets say a Muslim left Saudi Arabia to escape persecution and came to England,now will he or she be persecuted again if this becomes the law in England?
10. Should be interesting
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.08.08)
When the honor killings start. There is going to be two Englands. One for non-Muslims and another for Muslims. Guess the Jews should be demanding Jewish law instead of English Common Law, and the Catholics can demand Cannon Law. The end of England is in sight.
11. Fairness
paul malykont ,   United States   (02.08.08)
Other groups have received similar accomodations. Jewish rules regarding marriage between cousins, were recognized in New Jersey, I think, and when we had mandatory closing days, Jews were allowed Saturday rather than Sunday. We also can agree by contract to use a Beit Din for binding arbitration. If Muslims want to govern their financial agreements according to Muslim law, they can already do it by including it in their contracts. They can't impose on the other party, so both must agree and all the basic guarantees of human rights and rules of evidence remain unchanged. So what!!!
12. Britain is bending over for Islam
Avraham ,   NYC   (02.08.08)
13. Should not be, but still is shocking ...
Christy ,   Boston, US   (02.08.08)
to read the Archbishop's words. If I were a citizen of the UK, it would not sit well with me what the Archbishop of Canterbury had to say about Sharia Law in the UK. Of course I'd be thinking that once some tiny part of this law was allowed, there would come a time when the entirety of Sharia Law was adopted. Has the UK made concessions to peoples of other faiths, in terms of allowing their laws to be used in the UK? If there is a precedent for other faiths, then it was only fair to allow Sharia for the Muslims. I prefer to keep the laws of the US as is. I wouldn't want the US to allow any particular faith's laws to be used for whatever reason.
14. we have to ask ourselves why are they allowing this?
(02.08.08)
is this in anticipation of them being run out of their own g-ment one day? appeasement? why
15. UK already has the same accomodation with Jews
David ,   Los Angeles   (02.08.08)
e.g. in the matter of marriage, other civiil disputes
16. Sha'ria Carta
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, OH, USA   (02.08.08)
The land that gave us the Magna Carta. What a disgrace. Could they fall farther? Yes, when they all convert to Islam. Then we'll have the Imam of Canterbury to deal with. Oh yes, Disraeli's name will be changed to Dhimmi. O Tempore o mores.
17. London's Bridges are Falling Down
Mark ,   Boston   (02.08.08)
and are being replaced with Sharia Law. Westminster Abbey will become an Islamic center!
18. CATHOLICS WANT TO DESTROY JEWS WITH THE HELP OF MUSLIMS
(02.08.08)
19. Time for Europe to wake up!
Johny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (02.08.08)
20. A well known fact people
muka ,   uk   (02.08.08)
A large percentage of the foreign revenue of the UK comes from KSA and Pakistan. Have no illusions about it. As well as, about the fact that the british will do anything to apease their masters!
21. BRITISH INQUISITION NEXT?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (02.08.08)
THIS FURTHER LEANING OF ENGLAND TOWARDS ISLAM INDICATES ANOTHER NOTCH IN THE RACK FOR BRITISH JEWRY AS IT TRIES TO PAINT BLACK WHITE .ALL THOSE THAT CAN MAKE IT ...ISRAEL AWAITS YOU.
22. times are changing
phil ,   israel   (02.08.08)
what with polygamy now legally accepted in uk , muhammed , 2nd most popular boys name, sharia banking, some of the most extreme lecturing mosques in the world, the man is just preparing the uk for the inevitable.
23. Britain's love affiar with Islam has been taken to a higher
Amused Bystander ,   Nosharia Here   (02.08.08)
Level,it starts with the Royal family,goes on the the clergy,and ends up with an Islamic state. The moth eaten British Lion has lost its cojones,it's teeth,and the politicaly correct idiots are swinging it around by it's tail.Land of hope and glory mother of the seas,HA,HA,HA,what a joke.
24. Islam
JL ,   Israel   (02.08.08)
This is to be expected. With the high birthrate of Moslems in Europe and the low birthrate of other religious groups there, the Moslems will eventually be the majority and will take over Europe altogether.
25. The Brits must be so happy to hear this.
Scott   (02.08.08)
Look what these idiots have done. They have made the same mistake as Israel in allowing Islam to move in. Soon it will dominate and before it does , enormous social conflict will occur - all within 10 years.
26. to chaya israil
nana ,   jurosalem   (02.08.08)
i prefer the one see the real as a myth than the one see the myth as a real as they do in israil/so destruction is not to commet thereal but to believe the myth //sure all the people think that all the others like themselves but when you make from any one as hero or superman the people think it is a myth // so we must study persons as persons with something rights and other thing wrong
27. To #11
MK ,   USA   (02.08.08)
MUSLIMS WHO DON'T LIKE THE LAWS OF THE UK MAY LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AND GO BACK TO THEIR SH*THOLE ARABIA, EGYPT, OR IRAN. THE WEST SHOULD NEVER ALLOW THESE GROUPS TO CHANGE THEIR WAY OF LIFE. WHOEVER DOES NOT LIKE IT MAY LEAVE THE UK.
28. Sharia law in UK
Pawel ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (02.08.08)
I guess that if Sharia laws are approved in the UK a Christian who moves to a muslim country will be judged by UK law.......
29. Laughable Idiot
Jillian ,   York   (02.08.08)
As if anybody gives a flying f**k what the Archbishop of Canterbury thinks anyway - he has no power over here and his words are laughable - nobody takes him seriously. I don't know what you lot are making such a fuss about - look in your own mirrors first !
30. agree with 11 jews they already have these rights
George Saliba ,   Canada   (02.08.08)
I don't understand this rush to unbased and bias comments ,these laws if will be adopted they will be applicable and concern only muslims ,not other communities.hate to muslims is overwhelming here.
