UK: Is "Sharia Law" unavoidable?

According to the Archbishop of Canterbury it is...

This does not make my day. And is it just me or are things getting more and more nightmarish in the UK everyday? As always, I am saved by the comments sections and my hope that England will survive lives for another day. (Update: Hope is flickering... Queen sells landmark to Dubai Fund)

Here's a sampling:

Actually the archbishop is right, muslims should not have to choose between cultural or state loyalty, if they don´t like the UK laws they can always go to one of the lovely and luxurious countries that does follow sharia law.

When can we start making Islam illegal in the UK?

Well Done Sir, how about a separate law for hindus, jews, pagans, vegies , druids, etc ? thats gonna be fun!

Seeing how the Bishop of Rochester received death threats after criticising Islam in Britain recently (thus proving he was right) perhaps, in saying this nonsense, the Archbishop of Canterbury is just trying to avoid the same fate?

So Muslims get to choose which law they wish to obey then do they? What about the rest of us, can we choose which law we want to abide by? Personally, I choose the American constitution. Then I have the right to bear arms and defend myself and my property rather than rely on an impotent police service scared of 'offending' minorities.A far simpler way to deal with these intruders would be to make Halal meat illegal. Back in their own country they wouldn't have to make such 'stark choices'.

As the archbishop feels that British Law has been created for Christianity and we should also introduce Islam-influenced Sharia Law, as a non-religious person can I choose to abide by no laws?

What sort of question is this? More utter nonsense from Rowan Williams and the BBC. Adopt Sharia Law! Are you out of your minds?
