The Prince of Wales has made a donation to Iraqi Christians who he said are suffering from “diabolic evil” under ISIS.
In a letter to Chaldean Patriarch Louis Sako, Prince Charles wrote that he was making his donation, described as a “very small token”, via the charity Aid to the Church in Need.
“You can have no idea how heartbroken I am to hear of the truly unbearable and barbaric persecution suffered not only by Christians in Iraq but also by some of their neighbours of other faiths,” he said.
“I wanted you to know above all that my heart goes out to all those whose lives have been shattered by this terrible conflict. Although words seem terribly inadequate at such an unimaginable time of suffering I did just want to offer, through you, my special prayers and profound sympathy to all members of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Iraq.”
The letter continued: “It is my fervent hope and prayer that the leadership and the actions of the people of goodwill such as yourself and your brothers and sisters will help overcome the diabolic evil that has wrought this terrible suffering.”

Wow, didn’t expect it from him.
Kudos.
I’d expect it from him before Bronco.
Somewhat surprising considering he seems to be flirting with converting to islam.

yeah right...
That last prince Charles photo’s got to be photo shopped. The man is a clown, but I doubt even he would dress that ridiculously.
Right, he’s a regular Liberal twit!!
I wouldn’t have expected it either. It was thought that he had become a Muslim (although a member of some Sufi-related group that is very popular among European intellectuals) but maybe the ISIS Muslims have gone too far even for these people now.
Whatever, it was great that he did this.
Good reason for the queen to skip this clown, and let William take the throne.
Headline: ‘Blind Squirrel Finds Nut!’
IIRC, there is a fair bit of consternation if he converts because of his role in the Church of England.
He appears to be a fool and should be passed over.
Given that, the UK is showing way more leadership on this issue than our golfer-in-chief, I hope the Brits can deal with this moron appropriately. We have our own moron to cope with.
And here's another photo from the same event:
At least he spoke from the heart about the diabolical evil-doers: more than Obama would say.
As this was published 11 years ago, it seems very prescient.
Not exactly Peter O’Toole, is he?
FWIW, Charles is highly regarded for his charity work.
and have Prince Harry lead the military against ISIS =]
