The statement on the archbishop's website said Dr Williams had pointed out that "as a matter of fact, certain provisions of Sharia are already recognised in our society and under our law".

The statement said he was "exploring ways in which reasonable accommodation might be made within existing arrangements for religious conscience".

Where does the reasonable accommodation end?
Is it now okay for an Iman to pray for our defeat within the halls of our own government?
Wasn’t this called treason at one time?

Muslim Imam Prays For Victory Over ‘Great Satan’ In Iowa House Of Representatives
February 8, 2008 – Commentary By TVC Chairman, Rev. Louis P. Sheldon

In Iowa last week, Mohammed Khan, the Imam of the Islamic Center of Des Moines, said the opening prayer in the Iowa House of Representatives. Khan had been invited by state representative Ako Abdul-Samad.


Abdul-Samad is a former Iowa school board member and has worked as a counselor in the Iowa prison system.

Imam Khan’s prayer was four minutes long and included such statements as “victory over those who disbelieve” and asked for “protection from the Great Satan.”

These statements have angered many in the House who heard them as well as pastors in the state who are concerned that such statements would be made as a prayer in a legislative body in America.

In Islam, there are only two kinds of people: Muslims and Infidels (or unbelievers). The Islamic Prophet Mohammed taught that unbelievers were to be encouraged to convert to Islam. If they refused, they had two choices: live in slavery under Islam or be killed by the sword.

The Koran, for example, says in the Verse of the Sword (9:5): “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”

Those who not killed but enslaved are placed under what has been described as “Dhimmitude.” This is a subservient status mandated in Islamic (Sharia) law. It is designed to make the Christian, Jew or other conquered peoples to feel humiliated and subdued.

The term “Great Satan,” of course, is known by most students of Islam to be a reference to the United States. Israel is considered the “Little Satan.”

So, what exactly did Imam Khan mean when he prayed for victory over unbelievers and protection from the Great Satan? It sounds to me like he was praying for Islamic rule over the world and for the defeat of America in its battle against Islamic fascism.

Is this really the kind of religious tolerance we should permit in a state legislative body?

Representative Abdul-Samad, the man who invited Khan to say the opening prayer, seems to have some questionable ties to radical Islam. According to a recent article published by FrontPageMagazine.com, Abdul-Samad gained notoriety in 2004 when he welcomed Ibrahim Dremali to become the new Imam of the Islamic Center of Des Moines.

Dremali founded the Islamic New Horizons School in Des Moines with funds provided by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). This group is a Saudi-funded Wahhabi organization that controls most American mosques and espouses a form of radical Islam.

In September, 2005, Mohammed Khan and Ako Abdul-Samad were featured speakers at a Muslim program called “A Way To The Future.” One of the workshops was titled, “The Practical Structure of Building an Islamic Society.”

Is “Building an Islamic Society” in America the ultimate goal of Khan and Abdul-Samad?

Americans need to come to grips with the possibility that a subversive and tyrannical political movement in the United States is hiding under the protection of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom and free speech.

What we do about it will determine what kind of America our grandchildren live in. Will it be an Islamic Republic ruled by ruthless Imams or a Republic under the U.S. Constitution? How we deal with radical Islam—both inside and outside America--will determine the future of our nation.
