Maybe the first stone was cast by the invaders going into a totally alien culture .
In this case the Christian ideallogy of turning heads to the C of E thinking .
I did not achieve O Level in History at school so not an expert , but it seems the Muslim Religion are still annoyed at the last 1000 years and will not let it go .
That ethos and thinking of so many radicals along side the nutters makes the World a dangerous place right now . |  | |  |

The crusades were largely a massive failure due to the overwhelming military might of the Islamic forces in their own land and the petty squabbles between crusader states. Richard I got captured by the Holy Roman Empire on the way back and had to be ransomed for a sum that basically bankrupted England for generations only for him to promptly die to the hands of a drunken stable boy a short time after. The guy was a complete idiot, why history has been so kind to him is beyond me. |
The monks wrote the history in this land, and you bloody know that and the consequence thereof... I'm guessing that you are being rhetorical.  |  |

I thought Richard 1 was killed beseiging a castle in France. Shot with a crossbow . The bolt entering his neck and the wound becoming infected ?? | | | |

The common tale is Richard I and his knights were laughing at a soldier up on the ramparts who was wearing strange cobbled together armour and wielding a frying pan when a boy took a pot shot with a crossbow and got the king in the shoulder. It was thought to be a minor wound but went gangrenous and killed the king two weeks later. Apparently before they died the king forgave the kid and gave him money and told his men not to harm him but they skinned him alive anyways.
How much truth there is in that I don’t know there’s a number of conflicting versions. |  |

That article refers only to Genesis, not the Old Testament as a whole. They interwove their own stories into it but there are a lot of similarities, especially the Ten Commandments in Exodus. | |

We can dive further if you like but if there is already a robust refutation when comparing the genesis account which clearly sets them apart in the most important aspects I'm not sure there's much point. As theft violence murder egg are sadly common to all societies its hardly surprising there would be similarities which does not in itself offer evidence of plagiarism. | | | |

A number of different religious faith have their own laws and processes which sit outside English law and they’ve been in existence for many years. There are areas where Sharia law is practised in the U.K., equally there are also areas where the Jewish population practice “Beth Din” where they use religious tribunals to resolve disputes relating to marriage and divorce, the Catholic Church also has its own Courts which handle church law particularly around the annulment of marriages. The Church of England also has its own Courts which operate within the English legal framework, but their powers were were curtailed last century.
The really important bit to note is that none of these religious courts/ tribunals etc bar the C of E have any status in UK law. Any judgment they pass is not binding upon the individuals involved and does not override rulings made by national courts - the law of the land is still top dog and that’s the way it should always be. People can take their disputes etc to the tribunal of their faith should they wish to, but nothing should ever take precedence over the law of the land. |
But all the other religious "laws" operate under the Arbitration Act 1996, meaning their rulings can be enforced by the courts only if both parties freely agree, and they must always comply with British law. Sharia councils routinely fall short of these standards. | |
