This article identifies Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, as head of the Anglican Church. Actually that’s the Queen of England. But Rowan is right up there. No doubt about the fact that he will deserve the title of the world’s Chief Dhimmi after this. From AFP, with thanks to Susan, Sparta, and Jonathan:
THE head of the worldwide Anglican Church, the archbishop of Canterbury, will reportedly mark the third anniversary of the September 11 attacks by praising Islam in an address from the pulpit of an Egyptian mosque.
Rowan Williams had accepted an invitation to speak at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, considered by many to be the Muslim world’s most important centre of learning, Britain’s Sunday Times said today.
He would speak of the common ground between Christianity and Islam with their shared inheritance as “children of Abraham”, the report said.
The article quotes Zaki Badawi of the Muslim College in London:
“The Muslims throughout the world feel beleaguered and a comforting word from Archbishop Williams will assure our people they are not alone.”
Al-Azhar is considered the most important religious uiniversity in the Muslim world and is attended by 90,000 students.
