Prince Charlie should stick to things he can handle, like dedicating frog crossings in Sussex and other important things like that.He just doesn't have a clear view of the world. In a word:"Idiot."

He has agreed to attend a seminar on religions at Georgetown University, Washington, on Thursday: the only event where he will not be accompanied by the Duchess.

Probably a good thing, as she would likely be stoned to death.

"I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational,"


He's too busy brushing away the cobwebs from his wife to know what real confrontation is.

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.

Maybe Bush should hand that nimrod a copy of what the president of Iran said about Israel.

Inbreeding has a way of producing degraded intelligence.

Google is my friend. I found the following reference to Prince Charles converting to Islam in The Middle East Quarterly.

I guess he hadn't heard about the London bombings....

[penelopesire]

What an insufferable bore...lol. He will probably diss our architecture when he gets here as well(he did that the last time). Charles must want Camilla in a burka and fast, if you know what I mean...lol

[i_dont_chat]

The President should counter with a lecture to the Prince on the value of the service provided by the "paparazzi", and how the Royal Family should be more tolerant of speeding and driving while intoxicated.

[tioga]

And suicide plane bombers hitting the world trade towers were really just poor misunderstood Islamic victims? Has he heard of the London bombings yet? I can't believe he is an Islamic apologist. He's dumber then dumb. I would love to see Bush's reaction to this idiotic rhetoric.

[joshhiggins]

"Charles considers Christianity inadequate to the task of spiritual restoration and denigrates science for having caused the West to lose its spiritual moorings. Echoing a common Muslim theme, he declares that "Western civilisation has become increasingly acquisitive and exploitive in defiance of our environmental responsibilities." Instead, he praises the "Islamic revival" of the 1980s and portrays Islam as Britain's salvation:"

I find this outrageous considering the fact that when Diana was alive, she was dating a Saudi and I seem to remember some talk that they were considering getting married. Does anyone know what that would have meant for Diana's sons?! They would have immediately come under the auspices of SAUDI/Islamic rule, Dodi Fayed would have been able to play some VERY strong cards on the Royal Family of England.

and now Prince Charles wants to come to America and tell US that we need to be more "considerate" of Islamic feelings? Apparently he isnt aware that a majority of Americans are already pissed off that President Bush is still calling it a "religion of peace"!!!!

I wish this poor man would just stay at home and putter around in his royal gardens. I think he relates more to plants than he does to people.

God bless the English people and God save the Queen, but they can keep Charles. One of these days, they're gonna have to explain to the rest of the world why Islamic sharia trumps British law and history.

Charles is a real puzzle. He's cobbled together his own particular brand of spirituality which consists of the most appealing bits and pieces of every religion known to man. He's the world's highest profile New Ager, in my opinion. There are undoubtedly fragments of Islam which have found their way into his "cafeteria" religion.

Additionally, as future monarch, he clearly is preoccupied with what he sees as a potential powderkeg in his own country due to the large and ever growing Muslim population.

Finally, it has to be said that Charles is also something of a naive twit who thinks it's possible to find peace simply by speaking politely and respectfully to those who are implacably opposed to you.

He's a loose cannon, for sure.
