The Archbishop of Canterbury set of a controversy on February 7, 2008 by saying on BBC Radio that he supported some parts of Islamic Law Also known as Shar’ia.
Shar’ia Law Explained.
(Remember this is Wikipedia so take it lightly. )
Here is the Interview Which Sparked the controversy:
Now the Archbishop first refused to apologize about the comments. This is what he had to say about the matter, “I must of course take responsibility for any unclarity either in that text or in the radio interview and for any misleading use of words that has helped to cause distress or misunderstanding among the public at large or especially my fellow Christians”

But, He still believed that Shar’ia law is right. Now he is not saying to enact all parts of it but he is merely saying that if there are other religions allowed to have there own courts and laws then, why not Muslims. He is not saying we have the Shari’a law run parallel to the UK government but underneath it.
Of course under pressure from his church and the people the Archbishop did apologize for distress but, held fast to the opinion that Shar’ia Law needs to be enacted
“A HUMBLED Archbishop of Canterbury was yesterday forced to clarify his remarks on Sharia law after admitting they had caused “distress” – but insisted he was right to raise the controversial subject.
Dr Rowan Williams told the General Synod that some of the points he had tried to make about Sharia law being recognised in English law had been “distorted” as the debate raged for a fifth day.
But he stressed that the Church had a “burden and privilege” to speak up for all faith communities, adding: “I hope we can use it well – however clumsily it may have been deployed in this instance.”

The debate will never end.

Diamonds And Pearls
The following incident took place when Muhammed Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that are not modest. Here is the story as told in detail by one of his daughters:
When we finally arrived, the chauffer escorted my youngest sister, Laila, and me to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.
My father took a good look at us. Then he sent me down in his lap and said something I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down and in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get them.”
He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”
