UK: Secularists using Christianity as 'surrogate' for Islamic radicals, says Archbishop of Canterbury

Via the Telegraph (h/t DW):

CHRISTIANS are being targeted by "anxious" athiests because the rise of radical Islam and terrorist attacks have created a deep-seated suspicion of religion, the Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday.

Dr Rowan Williams said Christians are being viewed with growing suspicion and treated as “surrogates” for some extremist branches of Islam in the minds of “anxious secularists”.

He also accused the Government of assuming all vicars were “imams in dog collars” while imams were “vicars in turbans”.
