Are we promoting harmony or Muslim ghettos? By Lord Carey The Telegraph 10/02/2008 The storm of criticism that greeted the Archbishop of Canterbury's lecture on sharia law in Britain will no doubt have disappointed him but, in fact, he may have done us a great favour by airing this whole area of controversy.
