Archbishop sparks Sharia law row


Leading politicians have distanced themselves from the Archbishop of Canterbury's belief that some Sharia law in the UK seems "unavoidable".

Gordon Brown's spokesman said the prime minister "believes that British laws should be based on British values".

The Tories called the archbishop's remarks "unhelpful" and the Lib Dems said all must abide by the rule of law.




This is a classic case of religion getting in the middle of politics. I don't know if things work differantly in thr UK dealing with things such as this, however my american bias sees it as inappropriate tha an archbishop can say things such as this.
