There are calls for the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, to resign over her disastrous decision to give the Hubert Walter award to a prominent Muslim cleric from Pakistan who supports sharia law and vile blasphemy laws which are used to persecute Christians in Pakistan. He also supported Bin Laden. The treatment and persecutions of Christians in Pakistan are horrendous. They have been well documented by Open Doors and Barnabas Aid. The Pakistan legal system is woefully corrupt, and mobs have killed Christians.
The appearance of the wife of this Muslim leader dressed in a fully covered body by Burka is an insult to Lambeth Palace's Christian values and tradition.
This award to the Bin Laden supporter was at the time of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. He has not been known for acts of reconciliation and building bridges. He has never condemned jihadism, Islamic terrorism. On his watch Christians have been suffering painful persecution. His track record is dreadful.
What a failure of judgment.
