[Lateline] 13 Feb 2008--LEIGH SALES: The Archbishop of Canterbury has been forced to defend his comments on the sensitive subject of the place of Sharia law in the United Kingdom. Dr Rowan Williams drew heavy criticism last week when he said it seemed unavoidable that parts of Islamic law would be adopted in Britain. After days of silence he admitted his handling of the issue was clumsy, but stopped short of an apology. Stephanie Kennedy reports from London.
