Great Britain circles the drain

"Circling the drain" is an expression I learned from a police officer friend of mine. It refers to anyone who is terminally wounded/injured. I am coming to the conclusion that this unfortunately is the case with the U.K., where its religious leaders can't even agree that British culture is worth defending: http://www.meforum.org/article/1890. Worse yet, we have the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England, singing the praises of Shariah, complaining that to the extent that Christians elsewhere in the world are mistreated, it is because of Western policies and opining that there is nothing wrong at all with allowing communities in the U.K. to basically exist with no interaction with the greater British culture. Call me a radical, but I think that it's that type of morally relativistic, laissez-faire attitude which causes significant chunks of the Islamic community to think that the 7/7/05 Tube bombings were perfectly acceptable.
