Archbishop of Canterbury Revokes Award to Cleric Who Praised Bin Laden

The Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, has revoked an interfaith award given to a Muslim cleric after past praise of Osama bin Laden surfaced. The cleric had reportedly called bin Laden "the sword of God." The decision follows criticism over the Church of England's initial choice to give the cleric its top interfaith prize. The award was withdrawn after the cleric's previous remarks came to light.
