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.

'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 between the natural world and God.
'It offers a completely integrated view of the Universe where religion and science, mind and matter are all part of one living, conscious whole.

He went on to argue that as well as adopting 'green' scientific and technological developments, people of all faiths needed to radically alter their whole approach to life on the basis of spiritual teachings such as those central to Islam.
'The inconvenient truth is that we share this planet with the rest of creation for a very good reason – and that is, we cannot exist on our own without the intricately balanced web of life around us.
'Islam has always taught this and to ignore that lesson is to default on our contract with Creation. '

Right, Charles, I know you will be the first to give up private jets, limos, HUGE homes etc.
Let us know when you do.
What are a few of these "spiritual principles" I wonder.
ML/NJ
Everywhere the muslims go they leave total destruction in their wake.
How on God's earth could Islam ever be put forth as the way to save the Environment?
I know exactly how you feel. :-(
Certainly feels like the end days to me.
What a “royal” jackass. Here is another example of why England is well on its way to oblivion. The nation is ruled by fools.
What a complete freak.
Well said! I am so tired of wealthy hypocrites too.
What a total idiot.
I’m just not sure BHO is an improvement, at this point. :-(
Why doesn’t the prick just officially convert to Islam and get it ove with.
God save the queen!
This explains a lot...
Akward, contorted. erratic behavior ...my former smoked-out high school buddies made more sense than this guy.
Alfred the Great built the English nation.
Now the English nation is, by its over-extension of tolerance, destroying itself.
Tolerance is only good where it does not amount to cultural, national and historical suicide.
I hope he sees the light seconds before the Kalif of Britain beheads him on a public stage.
Isn’t he supposed to defender of the faith? Apparently not.
Now we know why this clown never became king.
Too bad for Britian that they never followed the French example. What an immoral burden, and pains in the a$$ these royals are.
So what does that mean, exactly? Lop off the heads of the unbelievers who doubt global warming? Stone SUV drivers?
There's a reason it's called the Church of England.
