Entry: Dhimmis on the Thames Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/dhimmis_on_the_thames#16951 Post contents: John, "But allowing alien legal systems to be incorporated in the system of justice...." On the basis of what I have been able to find out about what Rowan actually said, he specifically and explicitly noted that Sharia should not become part of English law, but that some of the milder aspects of Sharia could operate as a meditation system with full rights of appeal to the British legal system. I.e., he suggested treating Islam in the same way as the Jewish communities operate and what can be seen in your description of the conflict between American secular divorce courts and the Catholic annulment process. If what I found about Rowan's actual words is correct, then what he recommended was simply giving Moslems the same position other "Dissenting" religions have enjoyed in England for centuries. The Mainstream Media misconstrued his statement and turned it into a part of its anti-Islamofascist advertising campaign. You swallowed this effort bait, hook and sinker. Sent at: 2008 07 06
