Archbishop Carey wanted the UK to accept Christian but not Muslim refugees from Syria

 “Some will not like me saying this, but in recent years there has been too much Muslim mass immigration to Europe. This has resulted in ghettos of Muslim communities living parallel lives to mainstream society, following their own customs and even their own laws.” Retired Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey in the Sunday Telegraph in September 2015.

"This is a remark of such astonishingly pompous fatuity that it’s easy to believe the poor man is still archbishop of Canterbury – as he clearly does himself. How fortunate for the church, and indeed for English Christianity, that he is wrong, and that he has at last sunk to his proper level in society, as a man who has opinions for money in a newspaper." Andrew Brown in the Guardian.
