Sticking Two Fingers Up To Rowan Williams’ Islamophilia
THE Archbishop of Canterbury, the bathetic Rowan Williams, makes known his views on Islam and Sharia law.
Williams’ Islamophilia, his obsession with Muslims, allows the Sun’s front-page headline “WHAT A BURKHA”.
This is accompanied by that picture of a veiled Muslim woman walking in a northern street sticking up two fingers to the camera.
If ever the was sign that beneath the religious panoply a common British identity exists we have yet to see it.
Of course, the Sun misses the point. It sees two fingers being put up to the UK. But the news should not get in the way of a decent pun.
Surely the joke should be on Williams and his Church of England, not Islam.
Or are they now beyond a joke?

I think they should all give up on the god myth, and get a proper job.
The world would be a better place without religeon, we are all human, and mostly equal….

All religion is drivel - stick to fairy tales and get a life!

I am appalled on how naive Britons are about the syaria and the Archbishop’s call for discussion and debates. Can’t they think for a second and not be influenced by the tabloids? And the BBC is actually the worst propaganda machine of all to dispense fear of Islam.

11. Hmmm what with those job requirements being depicted as more than a tad non-PC these days, guess he may just have fallen over himself trying to shake off the proseletysing image. I think actually in spite of his learning and experience, that he is genuinely naive. The question Agenda Wide poses is a fair one but I don’t suspect him although his remarks will indeed provoke
many, it’s hard to think he would have failed to take account of that. Perhaps his hopes and expectations are for a lively and robust national debate. That indeed would be great….but in the process he and all of us may discover much that is uncomfortable and highly problematic……..

6 - Well his job is to convert the heathen to christ; so maybe, yes - unless he’s crap at his job?

“See, underneath the burkas and mini-skirts we are all the same”

Ah well, when they want rid of this turbulent priest hope they don’t expect any help from my family again

Sharia law -Keep it simple and let’s have muslim clerics to replace the politicians, clergy and judiciary. Think of the economic savings!
BTW does anyone think that the Archbishop’s real agenda is to stir up hostility towards muslims?

Who could take seriously the ravings of a man with such bizarre taste in hats?

‘picture of a veiled Muslim woman walking in a northern street sticking up two fingers to the camera.’
Surely this is sign of a shared common british culture. Only a truly integrated british person would do this!
See, underneath the burkas and mini-skirts we are all the same.

what with the eyebrows and the islamic beard, i think he may be an undercover mullah.

I’m sorry, but I really cannot get past those eyebrows! Scary.

Yes, why not have Sharia law? Feel sure there are many citizens of the UK who would enthusiastically contribute to a public flogging of drunken youth and young vandals. And who’s going to miss the odd hand? That will teach them not to steal again.
I understand a man can divorce a woman by repeating three times that he no longer wants her. Could somebody enlighten me as to whether a woman is afforded the same privilege?
Think of the money to be saved by those indulging in cosmetic surgery, when all they need is to cover themselves with a burkah.
Bring on Sharia law. We’ll have a law abiding docile, male dominated society in no time.
