From the
Evening Standard website:
The Archbishop of Canterbury has today said that the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK is "unavoidable" and that it would help maintain social cohesion.
Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4's World At One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
His Grace Canterbury apparently argues Muslim extremists come to England from their failed states in search of employment or subsidized existence from the British taxpayer and England, in turn, must revamp her ancient justice system in order to accommodate the barbaric legal code of the newly-arrived Muslim extremists.

The left has always been of two camps: the much smaller one containing the hard-core element who actually believe in, argue and work for the implementation of a Marxist-Leninist state and world government. Being an exceptionally unattractive lot, in the west they find refuge in the academy where their activities seem mainly to be forming "ad hoc coalitions" to promote "peace and justice" and slapping stickers on lamp posts advertising upcoming (and ill-attended) marches on Washington. But they can dream. In the west the hard left may appear harmless: they have no friends, are never invited to parties and must rely on others to further their agenda. Alas, however, the others are there, in quantity.
Those others, who vastly outnumber the hard left, are the more socially desirable sympathizers ("fellow travelers" in former days) found in the media, government, financial institutions and, of course, the church. Most sympathizers are not absolutely persuaded the efficacy, nor terribly knowledgeable the economy, of collectivism but kinda-sorta think it's the"fairest" way, thus are willing to embrace causes and actions that weaken and bring down existing western institutions; making it easier for the Marxists to fill the vacuum. The Soviets had an expression to describe these well-placed enablers: "useful idiots." Idiots they were, for they were the first to be liquidated once the Bolsheviks took over.
These days it's the multi-culturalists who are the useful idiots and the Archbishop of Canterbury, with his fine-tuned left wing sentiments and the recent driveling on the moral equivalence of Sharia, is proving to be a choice example among the species. He, along with so many other fools in the church, Protestant and Catholic alike, don't seem to realize not only do they not win favor with Muslim extremists with their appeasement, apologies and general sycophancy but that they are also being played for chumps by their supposed friends on the left.
The problem for the Archbishop and company is the hard left's only interest in multiculturalism is its ability to annihilate western traditions, thus their unholy (literally) alliance with Muslim extremists. If the Muslims can destroy our western institutions, that will save the hard left some considerable trouble; should western intelligentsia scramble to hold open the door for the Muslim invaders, so much the better, the hard left will ride in with them on their backs. But here is the bitter rub for liberal clerical tools who suck up up to the Muslim extremists in their war against western civilization: should they be victorious, the extremists will dispose of them regardless how loudly they proclaim the shallowness of their Christian faith; an infidel is an infidel, especially those that sell out their own religion. And should the Marxists be the eventual winners over their temporary allies, the Muslims, in the war against the west, they surely will not protest as their proxies dispatch the formerly useful idiots.
