O.K. folks--here comes a new threat to our freedom. You can google this and find all the additional info you need. But apparently the Archbishop of Canterbury--the highest ranking clergyman of the Church of England believes that Great Britain should incorporate or accomodate their law system with Islamic Sharia law. I'm looking at the article right now on www.thisislondon.co.uk. You can find it from there.

Apparently the Muslims have infiltrated British life to the point where some in England believe it's O.K. to let them try their fellow Muslims according to Sharia law, and not according to the laws of the land. At first glance this may seem harmless enough. This would free up British law courts from dealing with certain technicalities over Islamic marriage rites, customs, dowries, and so forth. However, what many are beginning to realize is that Sharia covers ALL matters of life in all of society.

Just take a look at any Islamic country. Even the more moderate ones (like Turkey or Indonesia). Even if they do not govern specifically by Sharia, their culture continues to operate under Sharia's influence. And what do you have in these countries?

Well, there is no freedom of speech, no freedom of conscience, no freedom of association--especially for women and girls. Under Sharia you have "honor killings"--this is becoming a huge problem in Britain and other "western nations" where there is a sizable Islamic population. If a woman acts too "western" (such as dating outside the faith, not wearing a headscarf, or trying to run away from an abusive husband) she is murdered by her family. Folks, this is true--I'm not making this up. Just google "honor killings" and see what you come up with.

Under the tyranny of Sharia law, if a Muslim converts to ANY religion, they are subject to the death penalty. Under Sharia, minorities (such as Christians) in Islamic lands are subject to "dhimmi" status. That is, a subservient, permanent status in which Muslims have rights, but Christians have very few. Some Islamic nations may be more moderate in this than others, but usually the Christians are not allowed to build or repair churches, and they are certainly not allowed to evangelize Muslims. They death penalty is carried out on Christians if they dare to preach the gospel openly.

Well anyway, the Archbiship of Canterbury must not believe that Christianity is worth defending, or that English Common Law is worth much, or he must believe that Sharia is just another nice cuddly form of law that will stay put and not harm anyone. He is sadly deluded. Sharia law is savage, ruthless, and extremely dangerous to all that we as a free people hold dear.

Fortunately, many in the U.K. are calling for the Archbishop to step down. Also, many in Europe are awakening to the severe threat posed by Islam. I would not be surprised to find out that even many Muslims are sick and tired of the tyranny of Sharia and much of the oppression that is in Islam.

Solution? How about Christian missionaries raised up to take the Gospel to these people who are enslaved in Islam? And you don't even have to go to England, France, or Germany. Or Iraq or Iran. Just go to Columbus Ohio--over 40, 000 Sunni Muslims who are from Somalia have taken up residence there. Or go to Dearborn Michigan or New York City or Atlanta Georgia or Washington, D.C. Who will go?
