But did he call for a crusade to retrieve the Holy Land?
Wow. A courageous voice from an unexpected source. As stated: “Credit where credit is due.”
Say what you will about Edward “Long Shanks” I, he walked the walk and talked the talk, financing and fighting in the Crusades.
Wow...Prince Chuck showing some stones there. And he is correct...as long as he doesn’t blame the genocide of Christians on Global Warming
This is very welcome.
Keep at it Charles!
“Lord” “Christ” - Way to Go Prince! That’s King material there. No sarcasm. Stand!
I think Prince Charles has achieved something truly remarkable here - he’s found a way to make Barack Obama stop talking!
Chief among leaders is Egyptian General Abdel al-Sisi---who drove the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics----and has vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by Muslims. Al-Sisi is revered by workaday Egyptians who consider the M/B to be terrorists.
As the post-Morsi crisis unfolded, Gen al-Sisi was joined in his effort by China and Russia (Putin is a committed Christian) in decrying The Muslim Brotherhood's attack on Egyptian Christian's churches, homes and businesses.
Moreover, last summer, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis and the UA Emirates deposited over $12 billion in Egyptian government accounts as a down payment.....w/ more $$aid to come to support Gen al-Sisi's anti-Muslim Brotherhood effort.
Alas, one leader is notable absent from this effort---that would be US President Obama. He vengefully exerted financial pressure by “cutting” US military aid to Egypt... but it's NOT working.
China, Russia and the Arabs stood foursquare by Egypt and in the process smacked down Qatar, the Turkish M/B, Erdogan....AND, most of all, the Islamofascist Obama administration.
====================================================
REFERENCE At the Hay Literary festival in Wales, author and PBS historian, Niall Ferguson, spent much of his time dissing Obama's "smart power" speech delivered in Cairo in 2009......describing it as "touchy feely nonsense"...
Ferguson has sent out warnings about Obama's failure to come to terms with what Ferguson sees as the potential rise of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the possible "restoration of the caliphate and the strict application of Sharia"........themes at the heart of this new book "Civilization: The West and the Rest"...............
Ferguson's standpoint is that Western dominance has been a progressive civilizing force.....his new book reinforces these arguments postulating that there were six killer "apps" which propelled the West to a position of predominance.
These were competition, science, property, modern science, consumption and work ethic, each with a dedicated chapter in the book.
Ferguson contrasts how China was the world's most advanced civilization in the 15th century but stagnated and was overtaken by Dutch mercantilism and the rise of capitalism employing the six "skills".
In his books, and on his compelling PBS series "Civilization," Ferguson lists "morality" as a strategic strength of Western Civilization. He points out the successful Chinese business city Wenzou also has 1,400 churches.
