There are groups of people whose comments have to be taken always with a grain of salt. Heads of religious confessions are obviously one such group — let's face it, you don't get to be the head of organised lunacy unless you're pretty much messed up as an individual. That's just a fact of life.

You must have seen it already on the news, but if not, here's a link. In short, Rowan Williams, aka the "Archbishop of Canterbury" (that's one of the titles that certifies the person has a fucked up moral sense; other such titles include "Pope" and "Imam"), stated that adopting some aspects of Sharia law in the UK would be unavoidable and a good thing.

I can't even begin to understand the layers upon layers of perverted thinking the could have provoked such statements. If ever anyone needed a perfect example of the dangers of cultural relativism, this one will be hard to beat.

Another thing that I find particularly troubling with this sort of news is the continued reverence these sorts of reactionary idiots get from journalists. Seriously guys, take heed from a long-learned lesson in Internet newsgroups: don't feed the trolls!
