Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the Archbishop talking about the parts of Sharia that govern interpersonal dealings rather than the “legislative” elements? A sort of mutually-agreed binding arbitration, rather like the Jewish P’Sharah which is well-established in Jewish communities around the world?

In my opinion the Archbishop’s comments are part of a wider campaign by the Anglican church to gain acceptance of the principle that, in certain areas at least, decisions based on religious dogma should carry weight at law.

The Archbishop has simply mentioned the Sharia as a “stalking horse” to ensure that he grabs the headlines and to spark off a wider debate.

As I said above, I’m strongly opposed to the idea.

One law for all with no exceptions, and let’s keep religion – all religion – out of it.

Well if that really was his point then it was a waste of time. Such systems are already in place in the UK. Islamic courts already sit and oversee personal relationships on a religious basis although they are not recognised by British law. However the level of detachment from the state that many of these communitys have means that such legal issues make very little actual difference.

Or do I 😡 Research my **** its just another way for them to get whale meat 😡

And that is wrong becouse? How is Japanese people eating whale meat different to English people eating cod and chips?

Western Law is largely derived from Judao-christian values (etc) however it has long since transcended its religious dimension. If the UK allowed the adoption on any part of Sharia into its legal system it will have taken a step backwards towards the dark ages.

In comparison to western society, one which is fast being emulated across the non-muslim world (not counting the disaster area that is Africa) large parts of Sharia are babaric and oppressive and not only be avoided in the west but actively opposed in the Islamic world too.

Without getting into micro analysis in its latest form the J-8 is comparable to the various upgraded Phantoms that are floating around. Ultimately we will not see any firther developments of the type but it will not be replaced overnight.

The J-10 may have been portrayed as swing role but thus far the evidence is that it posesses only a light attack capability and the real strike potential is in dedicated aircraft such as the JH-7A, it will be interesting to see how what they integrate onto the J-11B in this respect.

Does anyone have a spare irony meter I could borrow?

Mine seems to have spontaneously combusted……. :diablo:

You should not have made it out of flammable materials then.;)

Communism is one of the biggest social engineering, and a successful one indeed, you dont get this point do you that, where Communism is minority it is Capitalists (West) biggest friends, and where it is the majority, it is the biggest enemy.

To carry out the interest of their own, even till this day the West (anglo-saxon world order) uses Communism to foster its own interests in countries where they are in minorities. So I dont see both going away because they are sometimes made for each other whereas sometime enemies.

Certainly true, what should be remembered about communism is that it has the same social values as liberal western states, if sometimes in a slightly more extreme form. The difference lies in the economic and political structures, in the case of China it is now only the political. Consequently a communist state is far more desirable than a religious one even if a democratic state is more desirable than them both.

Stop behaving childish and answer why its wrong, simple reason you cant. lets have a quick look here, the west launched crusades on muslim lands, then through the 15 century till today has occupied, pillaged and looted the lands. And you talk about islam seeking to destroy the world, never come across such a delusional person. Name me a single time in the last 50 years a muslim army has invaded western europe or america for that matter. Gosh im having problems remembering such a time :rolleyes:

wah wah wah wah wah wah, evil west makes us stone and flog our women, murder homosexuals and bomb underground trains and nightclubs waaaaaaah!

Get a grip.

Muslim armys have not invaded Europe or America becouse they are too weak to do so., or in the case of Turkey not barbaric and savage to the extent that the likes of the Taliban are.
