Rowan Williams or Rowan Atkinson?

"This prelate whimpered last week that Christianity was 'offensive' to Muslims.

- Offensive? I know we have been urged to stop being horrid to this inept, terrifyingly well meaning man - and it really is nothing personal - but he does rather ask for it.

A few months ago he mused on the possibilities of allowing a little light Sharia Law in this country.

This is, I suppose, a point of view.

I just can't work out why the leader of a Christian church should hold it.

The same goes for the Lord Chief Injustice, Lord Phillips, whose entire career and substantial salary are based on centuries of Christian-based law.

If it is anyone's job to suggest Muslim law should get a toehold in Britain, it isn't his.

In my experience, Muslims aren't in the least bit 'offended' by Christianity.

I've argued with them about it, in places as different as Peshawar, on the North-West Frontier, and Whitechapel, in the East End of London.

And I had the impression they were relieved to find someone from the West who didn't fawn all over them.
" PETER HITCHENS.
