Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4's World at One the introduction of the controversial system of Islamic justice in the UK was "unavoidable".

Williams said Muslims should be able to choose whether to have matters such as marital disputes dealt with under Sharia law or the British legal system.

Williams said his proposal would only work if Sharia law was properly understood, rather than seen through the eyes

[quote="[url=http://michaelyon-online.com/wp/men-of-valor-part-viii-of-viii.htm]Michael Yon[/url]"]Iraqi border guards take “tolls” from the drivers. From one shipment, Iraqi guards unloaded some Persian rugs. From another they took tile. In some cases the border guards siphon fuel out of the trucks as “tax.” British Captain “Bertie” Basset saw guards take off a mess of fish, leave them in the sun all day with flies buzzing and dogs sniffing about, then depart with the fish at close of business. Standing on the border, CPT Basset told me that this causes a delicate situation.
