Gordon Brown is becoming even more transparent as his hypocrisy is shining through big time…

Dr Martin Parsons: Gordon Brown’s hypocrisy in condemning the Archbishop’s sharia comments.

Dr Martin Parsons negotiated with the Taliban and other radical Islamist groups in Afghanistan as an aid worker there and in Pakistan. He has a PhD in Islam and Christian Muslim Relations and is on the Party’s candidates list. Here, he outlines ways in which the Labour government has gone too far in appeasing Muslim groups.

On Thursday Gordon Brown’s spokesman denounced Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams’ claim that the introduction of sharia to the UK was inevitable. However, Gordon Brown himself has been quietly seeking to appease certain aspects of the agenda of ‘peaceful’ Islamist groups in the UK - including what amounts to a partial implementation of sharia.

[...]Gordon Brown has been at it all along appeasing the agenda of ‘peaceful’ Islamist groups in the UK, who reject violence, but have stated they want to see a gradual move towards an Islamic state in Britain by means of a step by step alignment of British law with sharia.

Now what’s that word for someone who criticises someone else for suggesting something that they are actually covertly doing themselves……? (Read more here, there are some interesting points made about Gordon Brown’s  steps toward unity! Oh and to lighten it up a bit one commenter say…There is a Sharia punishment for bigamy - multiple mothers-in-law.)

And further…

The poor old Ayatollah of Canterbury doesn’t actually deserve all the slime now being tipped over his modernised mitre. Just some of it. Of course it is absurd for the chief of the Christian Church in this country to cringe publicly to Islam. But at least Archbishop Williams is open about his unwillingness to defend the faith – as is his colleague, the wretched Bishop of Oxford, who recently announced that he was perfectly happy for loudspeakers to blare the Muslim call to prayer across that city.

Even on their own liberal terms, this pair are clueless about sharia and its scorn for women.

Clueless: Rowan Williams seems ignorant of the plight of many Muslim women, who would rather escape sharia law than embrace it.
It was exiled Iranian Muslim women who defeated a similar proposal in Canada. They had travelled thousands of miles to escape sharia law and didn’t want it in Toronto, thanks very much.

Gordon Brown’s Cabinet has also quietly agreed that Muslim men with more than one wife can now claim benefits for these extra spouses – while bigamy remains a criminal offence for everyone else, punishable by up to seven years in prison.

[...]Or the incessant multi-faith propaganda in supposedly Christian State schools, where children known to me have been pestered to draw pictures of mosques but are given virtually no instruction in the faith and scripture of our own established Church? (Read more here)
