Church of England finally decides to defend Christianity

It's about time. Evidentally, the crowding out in their own country has begun to take its toll: The Church of England finally criticizes their government for discrimination against Christianity and promotion of Islam [Note: The TimesOnline entire site is down at the moment. You can also read the article here]:

The authors find evidence of deep-seated hostility to the Church in particular, excluding it from important areas of policy and research – despite Mr Blair being one of the most devout prime ministers of the past century. They portray a Government committed to research into Muslim communities but barely interested in Christian involvement in Britain’s civic and charitable life.
If you think this is an exaggeration, just take a look here, here, or here, for just a few egregious of examples.

What's even more surprising is that the report was signed off by the Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canturbury - the same man who was loudly criticized for claiming that "shariah was inevitable in the UK", and praised Islam while criticizing Christians in an interview with a Muslim magazine.
