"And justice for all..."

The UK has to face up to the fact that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system, says the cleric. Adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion. The argument that "there's one law for everybody... I think that's a bit of a danger". Sharia law in UK is unavoidable.

No, it's not Abu Izzadeen, Abu Hamza, or Omar Bakri. It's Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Having one law for everybody is a bit of a danger now. In the UK. I didn't think I'd live to see the day. Damn, I didn't even think that Britain would live to see the day.

Yeah, I know he is just one more crazy cleric, and one doesn't have to listen to what he says, but the fact is that this is the senior leader of the Church of England. In case of the crazy imams there are always people thinking up some excuses of why they shouldn't be responsible like real people. What's his excuse?

"No, your Honor, I didn't do any of the stuff you saw on tape"

I've been wondering what out old friend Abu Izzadeen has been up to and why hasn't he been in the news for a while.

Turns out he has been waiting for his trial, and apparently, unlike some other fundamentalists, has been quiet for a while.

Now he is trying to explain to the court that when he said "we are terrorists" he did not really mean it. It's kind of hard to explain that he did not mean to incite terrorism and raise funds for it when they court has just seen videos of him doing exactly that.

On a related note, there was a lot of weirdness in the UK lately, and I wanted to write about it, but Jussi Halla-aho already did, and very thoroughly.

But even the British sometimes get something right, and for once they decided not to let an extremist cleric into the country. On the grounds of peace and security. Muslims are - surprise? - outraged, and sources close to al-Qaradawi blame the Zionists just in case.
