From American Thinker<\/a>:\"Add<\/p>\n

What’s a dhimmicrat<\/em>, <\/em>you say? It’s not the same thing as a Democrat. A dhimmicrat is a person who, while not Muslim himself, nonetheless clears the path for shariah law to be adopted and incorporated into otherwise free nations.<\/p>\n

One prime example of this would be the Right Rev. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. Normally, you would think this top Anglican cleric, who lives in a palace in London, would appreciate Britain’s history as the world’s leader in the Rule of Law. As a minister of the Gospel, Mr. Williams might see his country as a Christian country. Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, an immigrant from Pakistan, has tried heroically to awaken Britons to their peril. Bishop Nazir-Ali says English law and the Christian religion are the two things that make Britain great. And every day, dhimmicrats like Rowan Williams are trading away their birthright for a mess of pottage. Rowan Williams said Britain must accommodate herself to shariah law in large swaths of her urban neighborhoods.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rowan has pointed out<\/a> quite clearly (for him) that we have to “face up to the fact” [that] some citizens did not relate to the UK legal system. <\/em>And he’s right: <\/em>Britain has thousands <\/a>of potential Islamist terrorists who have the greatest difficulty relating to the British legal system; to deprive them of the option of being tried by the ideology whose main means of persuasion is to blow people up would be, well, un-Anglican.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
