The debate opens up ...

I would have loved to have posted yesterday about the former Archbishop of Canterbury finally saying some truths about those terrorist "muslims" and their deviation from the Quran, but time did not permit. However, there are some other bloggers who have posted very well on the topic such as Andrew at Dodgeblogium, Tim at An Englishman's Castle, and "Tom Paine", from Silent Running, to name but a few.

The row seems likely to continue, and I shall watch with interest to see how the media play it. Already they are suggesting that Lambeth Palace (London home of the Archbishops of Canterbury) is distancing itself from the remarks. That is not the impression I get at all. What the mischief-making media are forgetting is that what the Archbishop may think he may not necessarily say for reasons of state and statecraft. But a retired Archbishop has no such constraints to consider.

The fact is that Dr Carey has made some valid points, and Christians would do well to consider their own part as well, because he has criticised them as well!
