Prince Charles: So Committed to the Environment that He Has to Use a Private Jet to Save It

Forget it man , you just dont get it at all.We’re talking Global Warming fraud not REAL pollution or science proven environmental issues. The guy BELIEVES in man made global warming ,he’s been sucked into the scam .THAT is the issue here..Why am I wasting my time with you ..?

It’s that his individual views are nutty and his stance hypocritical. If he is that concerned about the environment maybe he could use Webex or gotomeeting.com. And the Islamophilia is sickening. He is a disgrace. But you choose to not get that. So be it.

He is a vacuous, snobbish, pedantic, welfare recipient.

No, we’re talking environmentalism in general if you actually look at what the Prince will be discussing, rather than relying on what the media is spoonfeeding you. He’s going to be talking about quite a wide range of different environmental issues - for example in Brazil, he’ll be discussing deforestation and the effect that has on the soil that farmers rather rely on to grow their crops - and not just environmental issues, although that is a large part of the focus of the trip.

Some of it is related to supposed climate change, a lot of it isn’t.

Is Prince Charles a Convert to Islam?

In a 1997 Middle East Quarterly article titled "Prince Charles of Arabia," Ronni L. Gordon and David M. Stillman looked at evidence that Britain's Prince Charles might be a secret convert to Islam. They shifted through his public statements (defending Islamic law, praising the status of Muslim women, seeing in Islam a solution for Britain's ailments) and actions (setting up a panel of twelve "wise men" to advise him on Islamic religion and culture), then concluded that, "should Charles persist in his admiration of Islam and defamation of his own culture," his accession to the throne will indeed usher in a "different kind of monarchy."

All this comes to mind on reading an article titled "Charles Breaks Fast with the Faithful in Muscat" in today's Dubai-based Gulf News, which reports on some of Charles' activities during his current five-day visit to Oman:

* He toured the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosquest for almost two hours and "took keen interest in studying various sections at the mosque, including the main prayer hall." As his spokesman put it, "The Prince was particularly keen to come to the mosque today to see the fantastic building and remarkable architecture which Prince was fascinated with. The Prince has a great love for Islamic architecture and I can't think of finer example than this mosque."

* He "spent a considerable time at an exhibition of Islamic calligraphy and held meetings with Sheikha Aisha Al Siaby, Head of Public Authority for Craft Industries and Taha Al Kisri, the Head of Omani Society for Fine Arts to discuss various aspects of Islamic art."

* He "broke fast with a large congregation of people from different nationalities as he sat with folded legs on the floor in the open. He ate date and drank juice at the call of Iftar."

Charles with worry beads, Camilla with shawl. None of this, of course, is evidence that the Heir to the British Throne has changed religions, but his actions most certainly would be consistent with such a move, and especially the implication that he had kept the Ramadan fast. (November 9, 2003)

Argue the point with others. I'm undecided, but face it, he's a weird dude.

Private Jumbo Jet for 14...on an environmental tour? It just boggles the mind.

A 747 burns 300-400 gallons per hour.

I have a feeling our Dear Leaders will be taking similar trips on Air Force One while raising gas taxes for “the common good”.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[naturalman1975]

More inaccurate reporting - he’s not taking a jumbo jet but an Airbus 319.
