King Charles III will surprise us. The man whose family has served as the physical symbols of colonialism has spent his life trying to free his mind from the calcified prejudices of empire. Britain’s new head of state is a loud admirer of Islam, a critic of Western interventionism and a champion of multiculturalism who will win his country new friends — and some populist enemies — across the world.
The new king has for decades sought to free himself from what he calls “Western materialism” by immersing himself in the world’s second-largest faith. As the Prince of Wales, he threw himself into the study of Islamic textiles, gardens and architecture. But he did not stop there. The king has also studied Arabic to understand the Quran.

As bigotry and Islamophobia grew rampant after 9/11, he doubled down. “This planet’s survival will depend on you understanding that you can achieve unity through diversity,” he said in 2006 in Pakistan, going on to quote the Quran: “Only they pay attention who have hearts; only they believe (or see signs) who have hearts.”

Charles’s admiration of Islam is visible in his personal life and work. He laid out a carpet garden at his beloved home at Highgrove that was inspired by Islamic designs with the plants mentioned in the Quran. He is patron of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies and his Prince’s Foundation’s School of Traditional Arts teaches a wide range of courses on Islamic traditions. He has made visiting Muslim shrines, holy places and even the hugely important Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo part of his royal travels. The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar called him a “fair Western voice” on Islam and celebrated their meeting. Britain’s new top Royal diplomat — though he might not have said so

He is now KING.. RUH ROH!
Well, Christianity is dying in the U.K. Maybe King Charles can change the official religion. Yet, so many Freepers adore the royal family.
If he is a disaster — that will surprise nobody.
He will be remembered as King Charles the Brief.
Why? He could live a long time.
Watch out when he grows a beard and wears a nightgown.
King Charles III needs a crash course on Orthodox Christianity!!!! (Of course a “crash course” is not sufficient—this is just for starters, on an emergency basis!)
The REAL antichrist will want us to worship him—NOT Allah or Muhammad—and certainly not the Most Holy Trinity!!!!
He’s a big global warming fanatic.
At some point in the not too distant future, he will embarrass the nation enough for Parliament to insist on his abdication.
The Post likes him. That’s more than enough evidence that his reign will be a royal disaster. Hmmmm, sort of like our pretend president who cannot walk/speak/think that is currently butt-kissed by the Post.
The Washington Post is so stupid it boggles the mind
Well, Christianity is dying in the U.K.
Maybe King Charles can change the official religion.

Well, he’s the head of the Church of England, like the English Pope. Who does he think he is, turning everything the Church stands for upside down - Bergoglio?
Yes, Is;am can replace Anglican as the official religion.
Your body's survival will depend on what you can achieve through understanding your Pancreatic cancer. Diversity of the cells in your body, including malignant tissue is more important than the overwhelming health of your body.
So what’s the surprise.
After reading SNIP and SNIP it wouldn’t surprise me if King Chuck EEE changes the official religion of England to Islam after his 2023 Hajj to Mecca.
“Maybe King Charles can change the official religion.”
Sadly, that was my first thought when Liz died.
In 100 years both the U.S. and the U.K. will be backwaters because they replaced their productive citizenry with third worlders.
