Prince Charles to plead Islam's cause to Bush
Telegraph ^ | October 29, 2005 | Andrew Alderson

Posted on 10/29/2005 3:32:33 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

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 Prince raised his concerns when he met senior Muslims in London in November 2001. The gathering took place just two months after the attacks on New York and Washington. "I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational," the Prince said, according to one leader at the meeting.

It is understood that Prince Charles did not - and does not - believe that the actions of 19 hijackers should tarnish the reputation of hundreds of millions of law-abiding Muslims around the world.

Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Bar, was also at the meeting at St James's Palace. "His criticism of America was a general one of the Americans not having the appreciation we have for Islam and its culture," he said.

Mr Mahmood and other Muslims present stressed that Prince Charles did not go so far as to criticise the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001. More recently, he has been careful not to express his views on Iraq.

The Prince also spoke of his sympathy for America after the terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of almost 3,000 people. He said he wanted to promote better relations between the different religions of the world.

Anyone who would state that they would enjoy going through life being Camilla Parker Bowles' tampon is not worthy of serious consideration.

ROFLMAO!!!!! See my new tagline.

"that phone conversation in which he announced that he wished he was Camilla's tampon"

Seems to me, he got his wish. {{shudder}}

Back in early, medieval Spain a Muslim princess, who was a direct decendent of Mohammed, was married off to a Christian noble in an arranged political marriage. They had a number of children, who were married off to nobility all over Europe.

So, yes, his royal nitwittedness is probably a direct decendent of Mohammed. Which would explain a lot. :-)

Prince Charles likes pigs right? Just loves them. And Hillary's name means 'rotting ham' [Rodham], according to one guy I talked with. Bush keeps meeting with people associated with pigs. Now for the tinfoil, triple strength.
Book of Revelation: A swine will be sacrificed on the Alter of Jerusalem now that it's rebuilt. Connection?

It's common knowledge that Hillery AND Camilla are swine.

I read, perhaps here, that he also wanted to erect a mosque on his property. Anyone else hear that?

I thought you were supposed to keep the crazy relative in the attic under the watch of a faithful servant.
Guess I read too many gothic novels.

I hope they detain Charles when he arrives for being on a terrorist watch list.

That same rumor says the sustainable Rifkinite is also a
Larry of Arabia wannabe...likes to dress in full mufti and
parade around the castle and grounds...

Either that or it was a Monty Python skit...life tending to imate 'art' and all...

imo

Don't forget that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor played footsie with the Nazis during the 2nd WW. It must run in the family. (Insanity, that is.)

Yipes! I didn't hear that he's gone as far as wanting to build a mosque, but you never know. If he's really a descendant of Mohammed, I think he automatically gets to be a big cheese and wear the fancy black headdress, so maybe the idea actually has flitted through his tiny mind.
