Victor, you ask what we “are we to make of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s amazing concession that the implementation of Sharia Law in the U.K. was “unavoidable.”

Well, let’s just say that there’s no need to summon up your inner Henry II. Rowan Williams is a fool. Always has been. Always will be. Nothing he says makes sense. Nothing he says is of any consequence. His remarks are only interesting in that they are the latest evidence of a British establishment bewildered, befuddled and bemused by the spectacle of a militant religious presence on an island long thought to have put such things behind it. And it’s that that’s the problem, not Williams.
