From The Hindu on-line:
The head of the Anglican church has sparked a political and religious controversy here after he called for adoption of some aspects of Islamic sharia law in Britain. "It seems inevitable that elements of the Muslim law, such as divorce proceedings, would be incorporated into British legislation," Rowan Williams, also the Archbishop of Canterbury, said on Thursday night.
The Archbishop provoked the row by saying Britain had to "face up to the fact" that some citizens did not relate to this country's legal system and argued that officially sanctioning sharia law would improve community relations. He said there was an argument that aspects of sharia law, such as those involving divorce, financial transactions, and the settling of disputes, could be accommodated with British legislation.
Rico is rendered speechless, yet again, by the ability of seemingly-intelligent people to sell themselves a bill of goods like this...
Maybe it's just Rico but, given his name, which does it sound more like the Archbishop is being played by: Rowan Atkinson or Robin Williams?
But this column asks the question Rico wished he'd asked: "Who will rid us of this troublesome priest?"
