UK: Prince to Preach to US on Strengths of Islam
Prince Charles, who only three days ago was whining about how people would only appreciate him when he is dead (as if!), has long had an admiration for Islam. He is now embarking, starting on Tuesday, on an eight-day tour of the United States, where he is, according to the Telegraph intending to persuade George W. Bush and the US populace of the merits of Islam.
It is said he thinks that the US is not tolerant enough of Islam. The heir to the British throne has long been known to criticise the US's attitudes to Islam. Only two months after 9/11 when 3000 lives were lost in an unprovoked Muslim attack on American civilians, Charles was heard to say "I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational".
As future monarch in Britain's antiquated constitution, Charles will have to assume the role of head of the Anglican church. In 1994, he said he would rather be "defender of faiths" than the official title of "defender of the faith". This was when Charles spoke first of the need to consider Islam as part of Britain's culture that he wished to support.
This attitude has brought him into conflict with members of the Anglican church. When Lord Carey was Archbishop of Canterbury, there were harsh words exchanged between the archbishop and the prince on the issue of his support of Islam.
Maybe this is partly because Islam approves of a man having two wives, for the future head of the Church of England carried on an adulterous relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles throughout his marriage to Princess Diana. He fails to see that in some Islamic countries, his wrinkled girlfriend, who was being unfaithful to her own husband, Colonel Parker-Bowles, would have been stoned to death for adultery. The adulterous destroyer of Princess Diana's marriage is now legally wed to Charles, and has been awarded the title of "Duchess of Cornwall", for her services to marriage-wrecking.
