[AFP] 9 Feb 2008--The leader of the world's Anglicans, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, has hit back at his critics amid a furore about his comments on Islamic law that have led to calls for him to quit.
The Church of England's highest-ranking cleric has drawn heavy criticism since he acknowledged that the adoption of some parts of sharia law alongside Britain's legal system "seems unavoidable" in certain circumstances.
His office sought to clarify the remarks, made in a BBC radio interview and a lecture Thursday, which united all three main political parties, the media and some Muslim groups in opposition.
