An open letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury

Karim Ahmed Kasim, Egypt, Monday 11 February 2008

Over the last few days, an aggressive war of words has been waged on Dr. Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, following from his comments on applying parts of the Islamic Sharia law in the UK. I have followed the news through BBC Arabic and felt that this man was the victim of intolerance, hence I felt the need to write him a letter - I wrote it and sent it to him through the official website of The Archbishop of Canterbury.

MPAC UK, United Kingdom, Sunday 13 January 2008

Alhamdulillah! Now I'm going to Heaven for sure! And shame on any Muslim that doesn't keep a beard/miswaak/trousers at ankle-length.

Usman Khalid, Pakistan, Sunday 30 December 2007

A week is a long time in politics, it is said. But sometimes a day is a long time. December 27 was one such day. In the morning Benazir met President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan. The beaming smiles and the doting eyes were too obvious to miss.
