On June 9th, Prince Charles delivered a stunning speech to the Center for Islamic Studies at Oxford wherein he called for a western pantheistic religious synthesis with Islam to help save the world from the impending environmental catastrophe looming on the apocalyptic horizon. Shockingly, Prince Charles strongly believes that Islam can play a critical role in bringing back ancient religious traditions that will promote a much needed check on western man’s unbridled enthusiasm for capitalism, power and money where science has been inappropriately exploited by commerce since the Industrial Revolution. Prince Charles presumes that such a course of action will...

A fawning letter sent by Prince Charles to Colonel Gaddafi has been discovered at one of the despot’s palaces in Libya. Addressing the dictator as ‘Your Excellency’, the heir to the throne called for greater ties between the two nations. It is the latest embarrassing link to emerge between the British Establishment and Gaddafi’s hated regime, and follows revelations his brother Prince Andrew was also used as a go-between.

London (PTI): Britain's Prince Charles has visited a mosque in north-west London and met Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, the top spiritual leader of Dawoodi Bohra Muslims. Prince Charles, who met Syedna Burhanuddin and his son Prince Qaidjoher Ezzuddin on Wednesday, praised the Muslim leaders for valuing Islam and its traditions. Dawoodi Bohra Muslims, a sect of the Shia Muslims, numbers around 6,000 in Britain. "It is heart-warming for our community and all Muslims residing in the UK, that the heir to the throne of the country they live in values their religion and traditions," Prince Ezzuddin told the gathering.One of the...

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to protect the environment. In an hour-long speech, the heir to the throne argued that man's destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions - but particularly those of Islam. He said the current 'division' between man and nature had been caused not just by industrialisation, but also by our attitude to the environment - which goes against the grain of 'sacred traditions'. Charles, who is a practising Christian and will become the head of the Church of England when he succeeds to...

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to save the environment. In a high-profile speech, the heir to the throne argued that man's destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions - but particularly that of the Islamic faith. (snip) 'From what I know of the Qu’ran, again and again it describes the natural world as the handiwork of a unitary benevolent power,' he said. 'It very explicitly describes Nature as possessing an “intelligibility” and that there is no separation between Man and Nature, precisely because there is no separation...

The Prince of Wales has launched a campaign to save the future of fish and chips as he warned of the "dire" consequences of over-fishing. "Global fish stocks are deteriorating and we cannot ignore the fact, merely carrying on as if it is business as usual," the Prince said. In a speech to representatives of the worldwide fishing industry at the World Fisheries Congress in Edinburgh, the Prince reminisced about how he escaped from school at Gordonstoun to buy fish and chips in Inverness. But he said a meal we take for granted will be off the menu in future...

The Prince of Wales has blamed a lack of belief in the soul for the world’s environmental problems, and said that the planet cannot sustain a population expected to reach 9 billion in 40 years. He said he found it “baffling” that so many scientists professed a faith in God yet this had little bearing on the “damaging” way science was used to exploit the natural world. The Prince pinned part of the blame on Galileo. Criticising the profit imperative behind much scientific research, he said: “This imbalance, where mechanistic thinking is so predominant, goes back at least to Galileo’s...

The Prince of Wales will try to persuade George W Bush and Americans of the merits of Islam this week because he thinks the United States has been too intolerant of the religion since September 11. The Prince, who leaves on Tuesday for an eight-day tour of the US, has voiced private concerns over America's "confrontational" approach to Muslim countries and its failure to appreciate Islam's strengths. The Duchess of Cornwall will accompany her husband The Prince raised his concerns when he met senior Muslims in London in November 2001. The gathering took place just two months after the attacks...

Relying on "gigantic corporations" for food, he said, would result in "absolute disaster". "That would be the absolute destruction of everything... and the classic way of ensuring there is no food in the future," he said. Snip.."If they think this is the way to go....we [will] end up with millions of small farmers all over the world being driven off their land into unsustainable, unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness."

Here is video of Britain's Prince Charles visiting the Brazilian Rain Forest where he danced with a villager and relished in the "green" products being made in the village without killing the trees and plants. I have nothing against trying to preserve nature and treat the environment with respect. But this video shows just how bizarrely far-left Prince Charles is, even as he will get back on his huge jet and return to Buckingham Palace to live! You get the sense that in the Prince's philosophy, what is best for the villagers is not real high on his agenda. NOTE:...

Prince Charles is publicly advocating a ban on Big Macs. While touring a diabetes center, he asked a local official, “Have you got anywhere with McDonald’s, have you tried getting it banned? That’s the key.” It’s no secret that Big Macs and fries aren’t good for you (incidentally, neither are fish ‘n’ chips, chap). But what’s even worse is government regulation of what you put on your plate. Such bans replace individual judgment with politically favored notions of nutrition. Had the government been setting our tables in the 1980s, we would have been eating a lot of trans fats, which...

In one of his most out-spoken interventions in the climate change debate, he said a £15 billion annual programme was required to halt deforestation or the world would have to live with the dire...

Brussels (AP) - Prince Charles lashed out Wednesday at climate change skeptics, saying they are playing "a reckless game of roulette" with the planet's future. Skeptics are having a "corrosive effect" on public opinion, the British heir to the throne added. "Their suggestion, that hundreds of scientists around the world ... are somehow unconsciously biased, creates the implication that many of us are secretly conspiring to undermine and deliberately destroy the entire market-based capitalist system," he said. Many doubters -- particularly in the United States -- have dismissed scientific evidence supporting warming of the earth due to human activity, arguing...

Prince Charles: climate change battle is like World War II May 1 02:37 PM US/Eastern Prince Charles compared the challenge of tackling climate change to the Allies' struggle in World War II during a speech to business leaders Tuesday. Addressing representatives from firms including Barclays Bank, British Airways and Rolls-Royce at Saint James's Palace, Charles said that "we need to act very rapidly indeed" to avert environmental disaster. "We can do it, just think what they did in the last war. Things that seemed impossible were achieved almost overnight," the heir to the throne added. Charles has long harboured a...

Prince Charles was accused of hypocrisy last night for using a private jet on an 'environmental' tour of South America. The prince will travel to the region next month in a visit costing an estimated £300,000 as part of his crusade against global warming. He will use a luxury airliner to transport himself, the Duchess of Cornwall and a 14-strong entourage to Chile, Brazil and Ecuador on a 16,400-mile round trip. Aides insist it is impossible for the prince to complete the ten-day official visit using scheduled flights as he will undertake almost 40 engagements. They also stress that he...

Don't follow super-size Americans, says Prince By Andrew Pierce THE Prince of Wales warned the British people last night that they were in danger of becoming as obese as many Americans because they did not walk or cycle enough. The Prince, who has a fleet of chauffeur-driven cars and has rarely if ever been seen in public on the saddle of a bike, said: “We are perhaps not very far behind our American cousins in the ‘super-sizing epidemic’.” In his speech at St James’s Palace he gave warning of a worrying sharp rise in childhood obesity. His intervention comes after...

LONDON - Prince Charles suggested Tuesday on a visit to the United Arab Emirates that banning McDonald’s fast food was crucial for improving people’s diets, a British news agency reported. Charles’s comments came while visiting the Imperial College London Diabetes Center in Abu Dhabi for the launch of a public health campaign, Britain’s Press Association news agency reported. ”Have you got anywhere with McDonald’s? Have you tried getting it banned? That’s the key,” Charles asked one of the center’s nutritionists, according to the news agency. A McDonald’s spokeswoman called the remark disappointing. ”This appears to be an off-the-cuff remark, in...
