Archbishop of Canterbury submits to Muslims on sharia law 

Elizabeth Krantz - 6 March 2008

The loopy Archbishop of Canterbury's recent call for the adoption of parts of sharia, or Islamic law, in Britain graphically illustrates the progress being made in Islam's silent invasion of the West by its Muslim vanguards.

In a speech to the Royal Courts of Justice on 8 February  2008, Dr Rowan Williams, leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans said that adoption of some aspects of sharia law was "inevitable".

"It seems unavoidable and, as a matter of fact, certain conditions of sharia are already recognised in our society" Dr Williams said.

There are 1.6 million Muslims in Britain, 2.7 per cent of the population.

The Archbishop's equally muddled-headed Australian offsider, Perth Anglican Archbishop Roger Herft supported the calls for sharia law.

Emboldened by these statements of capitulation, the Islamic Council of Western Australia said sharia law was already being practiced in a "hidden" fashion. The council is asking the  Government to consider giving extra welfare benefits for Muslim men who have multiple wives. 

Council spokesman Rahim Ghauri said if the men married their wives under Islamic law before coming to Australia, they should qualify for extra age pensions and family tax benefits.

Consider the hypothetical case of a Muslim man with four wives and ten children under the age of 13 and a further five children aged 13 to 15. His total benefits, according to a Centrelink officer we discussed the case with, would be $117,156 per annum.

Not bad work if you can get it. 

And imagine the benefits in old age with five persons all drawing the aged pension and sharing expenses in one house.

 

The Archbishop of Canterbury is already starting to look like a mullah.
