Spot the difference? Why Rowan said so much about Islam and Sharia

[The Ugley Vicar] 11 Feb 21008--Right now I'm feeling rather less sympathetic towards Rowan Williams than I was on Friday night. The reason is this. Go to the Archbishop's website, as I (and doubtless many others) did in the wake of the controversy in the press, for the text of his talk where he spoke about the relationship between Sharia law and English society and you will find it under this title:

Archbishop's Lecture - Civil and Religious Law in England: a Religious Perspective

Thus on Newsnight I focussed on the question why the Archbishop chose this particular subject to deal with a general point about the relationship between the law and religious communities.
