Zum ersten Mal seitdem ich mich erinnern kann, scheint sich eine breite, anti-islamistische Widerstandsbewegung in weiten Teilen Großbritanniens herauszubilden. Heute wurden sogar die ersten Rufe nach dem Rücktritt von Erzbischof Williams laut. Es hat den Anschein, als ob die Zeit des appeasements langsam zu Ende geht:
A senior Church of England clergyman called today for the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, over his remarks supporting Sharia in England.
The call, from a long-standing member of the Church’s governing body, the General Synod, demonstrated the strength of the backlash Dr Williams faces from within his own Church - as well as from political and other faith leaders.
The senior Synod member, who insisted on remaining anonymous, told The Times: “A lot of people will now have lost confidence in him. I am just so shocked, and cannot believe a man of his intelligence could be so gullible. I can only assume that all the Muslims he meets are senior leaders of the community who tell him what a wonderful book the Koran is.
“There have been a lot of calls today for him to resign. I don’t suppose he will take any notice, but yes, he should resign.”
Weblogs and other sites have been overwhelmed by comments from members of the public, Anglicans and non-Anglicans, the overwhelming majority being highly critical of Dr Williams and his apparent appeasement of Islamism.
