Sharia Law Coming to Britain

So says the Archbishop of Canterbury . . .

And he’s not all that upset about it:

“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.”

Well, if you’ve failed to convince a significant number of your fellow countrymen—even churchmen—of the truth of the law of the gospel, I guess you’ll settle for what you can get.

By way of TitusOneNine .

Update: Looks like Archbishop Rowan has some splainin’ to do . . .

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.


Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
