London (AFP) - Britain's Prince Charles warned against intolerance towards refugees fleeing religious persecution on Thursday, saying the rising tide of populism was reminiscent of the "dark days" of the 1930s.
"The suffering doesn't end when they arrive seeking refuge in a foreign land," the heir to the throne told BBC radio.
"We are now seeing the rise of many populist groups across the world that are increasingly aggressive towards those who adhere to a minority faith."
The 68-year-old, in his third broadcast for the "Thought for the Day" section of popular news programme Today, added: "All of this has deeply disturbing echoes of the dark days of the 1930s."
Charles said his comments applied not just to Christians fleeing parts of the Middle East but also to other persecuted faiths in the world including Yazidis, Jews, Ahmadi Muslims and Baha'i people.

Yup! ... the appropriately titled “PC” is almost as irrelevant as are his ideas and opinions.
To bad he wasn’t in the car with Di.
“Prince Charles warned against intolerance towards refugees fleeing religious persecution.”
The rest of the world is warning Prince Charles against intolerant refugees fleeing into the west to foment religious persecution.
It strikes me odd that the 99.5% of the refugees are not Christians being persecuted, tortured and being burned alive etc. but Muslims. Where are all the Christian refugees? I want to send miss my guess, Prince Charles is a Muslim sympathizer.
Unfortunately, it looks like Charles may yet get a chance to be king. The 90-year-old Queen has had to slow down and drop some of her commitments lately. I’m afraid she may not last much longer.
British society, and especially the British academy, was famously unwelcoming to Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Prince Charles isn’t smart enough to understand the irony in his statement.
But the Brits DID welcome Carl Marx who continued his destructive writing there until his death.
I’m beginning to think that it’s a point of honor with uppercrust British males, to keep their bad teeth instead of having them straightened. It’s not as if they have to depend on the national health service.
I wonder if this dope realizes that most people would be happy taking in fleeing Christians, Jews, Yazidis, etc. They really are being persecuted. No one is making an issue of that. What people aren't willing to do is take in vast numbers of Muslims who are fleeing for economic reasons and who refuse to integrate with the host country's culture. This guy is such an idiot.
Prince Foppy
Refugees fleeing religious persecution were not killers, were they?
To their credit, they denounced that sentiment. Like many they were suckered in by Hitler at first.
No, Prince Neville Chucky Chamberlain.
The 30’s were the beginning of the 0bama regime.
We’re clearly in the 40’s now, and the war against IslamoNazis is about to ramp up to full swing.
We, here in the US of A, are feeling pretty dern good. I hear, anecdotally, that a similar feeling a optimism is taking hold across the pond.
How does it feel to be consistently on the wrong side of EVERY issue?
A dozen? Why the number of servants in his castle’s <- number greater then that! He can take a few hundred at least!
Is Charles, the Arab-butt kissing pansy who wet himself when he realized he would never be King? THAT Charles?
Islam is a minority faith???
It's the end of "Royalty."
Hey, Chuck, maybe you ought to think this through a bit. I know that you’re not accustomed to thinking much, but try it this one time, eh?
People are generally not interested, one way or the other, in people that are different than they are any more than they are interested in people just like them...until such time as those different people start imposing upon them. In this case, you are transparently holding water for the Moslems. Well, OK, that’s your choice - and so long as you understand that many hundreds of millions of people in the West are sick and tired of a sizable minority of Moslems coming into OUR countries, and then going on welfare, militating against our forms of government, trying to have laws changed to their liking, and shooting or blowing us up. Assimilate that information, and you might have an intelligent conversation.
Coming from the guy who wishes he was a tampon....
Yes, the monarchy (and Churchill!) did so well when Bonhoeffer and Bishop Bell asked for help in assassinating Hitler... basically told them “all Germans are bad, we won’t help you”.
That in-bred monarchy hasn’t had a clue what’s going on next door for generations.
