Guardian letter on George Carey

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Who shalt not kill?

George Carey seems to ignore his own religion's silence on the death of thousands of innocent civilians as a result of the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq - the US administration certainly assumes it has a god on its side (Muslim dismay at Carey speech, March 27). It seems that the Christian faith operates the same double standards as all other religions: "Thou shall not kill - unless thou art going to get something out of it."

Responses to George Carey trying to reposition the Church of England from the Tory party at prayer to the BNP at prayer have been surprisingly low key given his high profile and his outrageously disingenuous remarks. Brian Whitaker (below) provided a good response and the above letter summed up what many are saying.
