You know that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, the self-professed "hairy lefty",who according to the man nicknamed the "Demon Curate of Fleet Street" is currently basquing in glory for, um, succeeding in getting an unrepresentative group of Anglican bishops to talk non-stop for three weeks without saying anything, is in trouble when even a strident, dogmatic, radical feminist, Left-wing pressure group has got him in their sights.

Meet the Southall Black Sisters:

"The sentiments recently expressed by the Archbishop of Canterbury
and the Lord Chief Justice concerning sharia law are very telling: in
the rush to be tolerant or sensitive to religious difference, they
create the space for the most reactionary and even fundamentalist
religious leaders to take control of minority communities, and they
enable a climate which allows religion to define our roles in both
private and public spaces.

"Their sentiments appear contingent on the false assumption that
black and minority cultures are intrinsically opposed to universal
human rights principles, and that they do not contribute to the body of
law based on such principles that now inform the English legal system.
In doing so, they allow religious and cultural contexts to become the
overriding framework within which those from ethnic and religious
minorities are perceived, inevitably drawing on very narrow assumptions
about religion and the role of women."

Damian Thompson comments:

There's the makings of an interesting battle here, between the
multi-cultural Left and multi-faith liberals. And my sympathies are
with the former. Ghastly as their politics are, at least the Southall
Black Sisters have grasped the essence of Sharia – and what it does to
women.
