Don't listen to him - he's a 'man of the cloth'. He probably thinks that if the government make concessions for Islam then they'll have to do the same for every other religion meaning that in ten years time he could have a Christian State of England ruled by a council of Cardinals. Religion schmeligion.
Regardless of his true intentions, how can a country run with one set of laws made by a democratically elected government, yet have a completely different parallel set (to some degree) for another culture?
Anarchy anyone?
edit, found this quote:
"There's a place for finding what would be a constructive accommodation with some aspects of Muslim law, as we already do with some other aspects of religious law."
Dr Williams adds: "What we don't want either, is I think, a stand-off, where the law squares up to people's religious consciences."
One, I dont think that there are many active Christian or anyother religious laws in action and two, the law and religion are two seperate entities: That is to say, religion is most often optional, especially in Britain, but the Law is permanent with no exceptions regardless of race, creed or colour.
