Yeah, and if the whole world lived under the jackboot of the Nazis there would also be peace on earth because all opposition would have been long ago exterminated.

What a buffoon. Of course he has no clue to how many innocent people will die as a result of his ill informed pronouncements.

no liquor or wine for Charles, correct, but keeping it in his pants? Neither Prophet Mohammed nor his followers kept it in their pants for any duration of time, not for a daughter-in-law nor for a six-year-old (ok, not consummated till she was nine). No, after Charles puts a bag over Camilla, he can afford almost any piece of uncovered meat he lays his eyes on, I am sure.

Reading the press bit I first thought Fatima Jinnah Women University was an institution in England, hehe, sigh. Soon enough I bet.

I imagine every other member of the royal family (and their hangers' on) must cringe whenever Charles is let off the leash in public. I can just hear them saying "shit, we had a good gig going and this jackass ruins it".

OTH - he does set a good example of the effects of royal inbreeding.

"Prince Charles Tuesday said that the world problems could be resolve by following Islamic teachings"

There are a lot of people who don't want him to accede the throne just cos they think he is a t**t. This obvious ass-headedness gives many more a better reason not to want him to reign. Perhaps there is a modern-day religious-based plot to alter the course of the acsession in the making here.

My first reaction? "What a dummy!!!". This is sufficient reason for me to turn from being a monarchist to a republican here in Australia. I do not want that man on the throne of England.

My second reaction? If he and Camilla convert to Islam, and he makes her wear the burqa, then he will do all of us a favour. The burqa in her case would be a big improvement!!!

My third reaction? This man is taking after his uncle David, also known as Edward who gave up his throne to marry a divorcee who was a Nazi sympathizer. It seems that Charles is also a Nazi sympathizer.

Who is Charles trying to kid when he claims that Islam is a religion of peace? He must have had a very low history mark. Heaven forbid his comprehension mark at school must have been close to zero. The man has no brains at all, and he is not fit for the role of king.

New book reveals Charles's seven egg habit

With power comes the obligation to reach agonising decisions: completely runny, just set, soft-boiled or as hard-boiled as the rock of ages?
Faced with the terrifying responsibility of second-guessing Prince Charles, on such an excruciatingly personal matter, it seems his staff chose to play safe and cover all options.

According to Jeremy Paxman, the TV presenter and author, the prince is particularly fond of a boiled egg after a day's hunting. "Because his staff were never quite sure whether the egg would be precisely to the satisfactory hardness, a series of eggs was cooked, and laid out in an ascending row of numbers. If the prince felt that number five was too runny, he could knock the top off number six or seven."

Prince Charles has long been caricatured as inhabiting the remoter shores of eccentricity - amiable or pitiable depending on the political viewpoint - talking to his plants when not dashing off heavily underlined notes to government ministers, and requiring the services of footmen to squeeze his toothpaste and lay out his postman pat pyjamas.

http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,1879328,00.html

Recent claimed revelations include his plans to import a horse-powered kiln from Transylvania to make bricks and tiles for his model village at Poundbury - and/or buy a house in Transylvania - and that he not only talks to plants, but to chickens.

charles is not of sound mind.

Skip one, William should do it next.

Posted by: kasper1062 at November 2, 2006 4:33 PM

Man, I didn't realize Prince Charles was such a complete dhimmi fool. His monumental ignorance about what Islam is all about, and his willingness to grovel at the feet of Muslims is beyond pathetic. No wonder the Queen continues to hold on to the throne, she's doing the UK a big favor by keeping this moron off it.

Then again, he prefers someone who's uglier than he is, Camilla, to a beautiful woman like Diana. Camilla should wear a full veil as a public service. He's not only blind, he's dumb as a post.

Posted by: Proud Infidel at November 2, 2006 4:33 PM

Prince Charles has been tempted by Islam for many years. Long ago Ibn Warraq, who lived in England intermittently, told me that he wouldn't be surprised to learn of Prince Charles's secret conversion, for certainly the tentation islamique was there and hints of diseased sympathy constantly being dropped..

He's a self-assured dope. A great admirer of Hussein of Jordan (spoke at his funeral, fell completely for that "plucky little king" business). Remember how disappointed Patrick Sookhdeo was a year or two ago, at that meeting about Muslim attempts to threaten apostates, a meeeting held with both Christians and Muslims together with Prince Charles, and Sookhdeo's conclusion that Charles' reaction was completely unsatisfactory in thought, word, and deed?

There is some kind of self-destructive mechanism in Caucasian genes. It’s probably rooted in evolutionary forces to protect fellow tribal members, but the trait doesn’t do well in an environment of abundance and idleness. Prince Charles is an extreme example. Northeast liberals are another.

Posted by: limes at November 2, 2006 4:49 PM

Let me give you my theory as to why Charles has a thing for islam. Charles was the ultimate cuckold. A milquetoast of a man, unable to satisfy his wife, who, even worse, turned out to have a strong sex drive, far stronger than his own, and her sexual predilections did not help matters.

Charles felt small, very small. His bimbo wife was all about town, showing him up in public and in private, and he was lonely in his castle, sipping tea and eating crumpets, completely humiliated by his over-exposed wife.

Charles decided he needed a proper chaste wife, or at least, England needed to have proper chaste wives, and Britian's secular liberal society would never be able to produce women like that. It was time for a change.

Only islam can supply women who will remain chaste and beside, and slightly behind, their husbands. Everything Diana was not.

Islam is Charles' revenge. The revenge of the cuckold.

Kind of puts me in mind of Charles's kinsman, the late Nicholas Romanov (aka St. Nicholas) who watched his empire collapse like the tonnage of accretions it had become, basically sitting idly by on the basis of his Divine Right, trusting in charlatans, idiots, dreamers and opportunists. The result was the USSR and the millions of deaths, the cultural destruction and the ruination of a people.
My late grandfather (admittedly an Irish nationalist nut) would watch the royals on tv and just shakle his head with a few "tsk tsk's" and mutter "They're all dim-witted. Too much inbreeding."
Amen.
PS The practice of inbreeding is shared by the Arabic culture. And the resons are the same: greed and fear of "the other."

I'm just wondering if a bit of skepticism wouldn't be in order for the moment. Are we sure that we can trust the source (Kuwaiti News Agency!)? The story is pretty sparse on detail. Could they be taking a small detail in his remarks, citing it out of context and blowing it out of proportion. Judging by stuff that I've read (the rest of us too, I'm sure - remember the 7th century pope who converted to Islam that we heard of from such source a few weeks ago?). The press in certain Islamic countries are not above outright fabrication, never mind distortion. Don't forget too that JPII went so far as to kiss the Koran. Think how they could've spun that if they'd thought they had reason to!

I've just read this story at

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2429851,00.html

where more details of his speech are provided (sorry I can't provide a direct link) and its not clear to me that his remarks have to be taken the way Kuwaiti News is presenting them. More naive, "religion of peace" platitudes, yes, but I get the impression he's appealing to the "moderate Muslim" fantasy and the wishy-washy "all religions are basically the same" ethos rather than endorsing Islam per se as "the solution to the problem of world peace" ...? I'd say "Wait - not so fast".

I'm reserving judgement on this one for the moment.

"Religion has once again become a source of conflict and intolerance. One of the tasks of education must surely be to engender the acquisition of wisdom.

"In a secular age you hear again and again the accusation that religion is the cause of so much misery and strife in the world.

"However, religion itself is not the problem. It is surely human misinterpretation of the sacred texts handed down to us that can lead to such appalling misunderstanding and hatred."

He went on: "Will you, for instance, have the moral courage to stand up against the kind of mistaken and misguided leadership that can so easily set one community against another?

I've actually read quite a bit of the book entitled 'Clash of Civilizations,' and at no point did the book suggest that the best way to deal with this monumental problem was to just convert to Islam. From what I can recall, the biggest suggestion was to keep all weapons of mass destruction away from the Islamic world. For the safety of the rest of us.

As for the suggestion by August 22 that Charles likes Islam because it keeps women in their place... very perceptive, and probably true.

"It is surely human misinterpretation of the sacred texts handed down to us that can lead to such appalling misunderstanding and hatred"

Charles, Prince of Wales above

Well, I don't know how one who had read the Koran could say this, but I take it as a given that most people in public life, have not, even those who comment on Islam. Like Robert, Hugh and others maintain, violence seems to be exactly what the Koran calls for. But that's beside the point.

Though we lack the full text of the speech, I'd say that there's nothing in any of what we've been able to read so far that justifies KUNA's report. Charles says it badly, in the usual PC way, full of hollow and unjustified platitudes, but I agree so far with the assessment of Holger Dansker. He does seem to be calling on his Muslim audience to be peaceful.

Still, if any of the above posters who suggest that Charles is a closet Muslim can offer some evidence, I'd love to know about this. Nothing would surprize me about these royals. John Sobieski's reference to Charles' patronage of a mosque in some housing development is intriguing, but I know nothing of this, and such stupidity could be merely more of the obligatory PC multiculturalist nonsense that the UK gov't imposes on this neutred monarchy. Can anyone enlighten me further?

I wish he did become a Muslim - it would automatically disqualify him for succession which would pass directly to his son. Once he'd announced his reversion the Queen would breathe a sigh of relief and as her last act send him off to govern Tristan da Cuna before abdicating in favour of her grandson.

Posted by: Jan III Sobieski at November 2, 2006 9:40 PM

Carolyn2:

The information in the links you posted is stunning - first time I've been aware of any of this. Of course, it can be difficult to prove or disprove any person's conversion to any religion if they want to be surreptitious about it, as one can easily imagine in this case, since it can often be done privately, in some cases with few or no onlookers. Regardless of whether he's converted though, his position is scandalously ambiguous.

My suggestion to all those posting in regard to his position in relation to the Church of England, is that the Church should require him to publicly make a confession of faith (I wouldn't know, but I would think this would be part of the Royal coronation ceremony) and refuse to crown him as king if he refuses or if they have reason to think that there's anything less than completely airtight in his assent.

But the question is, does the present day Church of England have the spine to do this?

I'd sure like to hear what Dominic has to say about this one. Are you out there somewhere, Dominic?

Based upon what Charles has said about islam, and about Christianity, and his many, unexplained forays into islam, both spiritually and geographically, I would say, without a doubt, that England's prince has converted to islam.

Of course he will deny this. He can't become king of England if he is a muslim openly.

It's shocking, but if Britain was ruled by its royals, Britain would become islamic the moment the Queen dies. He would bring in sharia law instantly.

The man is sick. He has lost it. Diana so screwed him up, that this is what became of him. A little boy, with no job, and too much time on his hands. He had never worked a day in his life. And in that, there is a parallel with islam. Perhaps idle hands create muslims.

Posted by: August22 at November 2, 2006 11:06 PM

Maybe when Charles is saying peace, he is thinking of "hudna", the false Islamic peace of up to ten years during which Muslim armies are supposed to regroup. If he means Islam is a religion of "hudna", he might have a point.

Today Prince Charles is more concerned today with promoting Islam that he is Christianity.

August 22,it seems that you have a real set against the late Princess of Wales, but I do think that you are wrong in your attitude. Sure, she was not perfect, but Charles was the one who screwed her up!!!

It was Diana who was left on her own whilst Charles was busy screwing Camilla the horse. He was into Camilla a very short time after he was married, and she gave him cufflinks that indicated their adulterous relationship. Camilla Parker-Bowles was a married woman and she was busy screwing with Charles despite her marriage. Charmining woman !!!!!

It was Charles who treated Diana coldly, and this goes a long way in understanding her own outrageous behaviour that was a reaction to being neglected by her husband.

Charles was always a cad. He used Diana as a breeder for his children, and as soon as she had produced two sons he cast her off, and he did not care that she found solace in the arms of other men, because he was too busy wanting to be a tampon inside that stupid horse who is now the Duchess of Cornwall.

In actuality, she was manipulative, spoiled, insecure and spiteful. With that temperament, put her in a loveless marriage in the public eye and you have a disaster.

I don't mean to speak evil of the dead. But Princess Diana was no saint. She was not an innocent - remember she comes from an old and distinguished family. She was as "false" as the rest of the royals.

How does Camilla feel about having to wear the burka outside her castle? No more fine hats, hairdo's or clothes. No more riding her horses. No more life as she knows it. I wonder if she would stay with him? I also wonder what the young princes think of their father being into islam.

My guess is that Prince Charles was trying to appeal to "reasonable" or "moderate" Muslims when he recommended "following the teachings of Islam".

If he thinks that Islam is a "religion of peace and brotherhood", then it would make sense for him to appeal to Muslims to follow the true, peaceful teachings of Islam to avoid clashing with our civilization.

I also believe that, if Prince Charles had converted to Islam, he wouldn't hide it.

What a completely assinine statement! Everywhere I look Islamic teaching is causing turmoil, death and destruction.....European nations, the US, Canada, Australia, Asia, Russia, Africa! Is the man blind?

Well, as to the Prince's vision... ...have you not seen various pictures of the woman he was so enamoured with that he wanted to be her "tampon"?

Prince Charles is the Crown Prince.
Some people who have trouble pronouncing letter 'l' already refer to him as the 'Clown Prince'.

If this globe-gallavanting buffoon really believes THIS about Islam, let HIM stay on over there in the Islamosphere and keep on talking to trees and plants there just as he does in merry old England. Maybe the Muzzies'll even let him put little hats on his eggs (if he can find any).

The western world doesn't need this lunacy. Especially now.

This person will one day, as King of GB be the head of the Anglican Church. If you think they have had schism before, wait until he takes the throne!

Sad indeed

"Okay so Prince Charles is a dhimmi. Now we know that.

By the way, this is why Monarchy doesn't work."

Not a very logical argument -- you could say that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter (I could add more) are why republicanism doesn't work.

This shows what a great historical travesty it was for Britian to have deposed the Stuarts in 1688. Even if the Hanoverian takeover is accepted, Charles in is line to the throne only due to a series of unfortunate events.

If the childless Edward VII had not abdicated (Wallis was no more unacceptable then than is Camilla today) then the throne would have passed to the next male in line and the current Duke of Kent would now be King. Although, I know little about him, at least Prince Michael of Kent isn't a closet Islamist.

However, I strongly suspect that Charles may be forced to forgoe the throne in favour of his more popular son.

Does anyone have the actual text of what he said? Would like to hear his actual words.

"Islam is a religion of peace...."

Prince Charles isn't bright enough to have thought of that statement by himself.
He is only parroting what he has heard George W. Bush say dozens of times.

Posted by: M.O.T. at November 3, 2006 2:59 PM

If Charlie thinks that Islam is the answer to the worlds problem then he is a disgrace to his mother. Elizabeth has been a great queen, sure she has no power, but as a figurehead for the country she has been superb. I think he should keep his mouth shut until he knows more than what he is shown when he goes on a state trip. It would appear that he is indeed a useful idiot. I hope I am wrong.

True. But we here in the US aren't stuck with W for life.

Stalin and Hitler were not heads of a republican government.

Monarchy does not work because you're stuck with the idiot for life. At least we're able to impeach or vote out an incumbent, as well as set term limits.

Ooops, I forgot, you can always cut off his head, as you did with Charles I... for being Catholic.

It is really hard to be dumber then G.W. but I guess it is possible. On the Dhimmi Thermometer

G.W. = Freezing Mark
Jimmy Carter = Absolute Zero (where all molecular motion stops)

Thus by simple mathematical deduction we have...

If G.W. > Prince Charles but Jimmy Carter is absolute Zero thus...

G.W. > Prince Charles > Jimmy Carter

Greatcomet:

It's a common misconception that George W. Bush is stupid. The media and the elitist liberals like to paint that picture.

However, the man has an MBA from Harvard. He has an undergraduate degree from Yale. His GPA was higher than John Kerry's.

If you have fallen for the "I hate George W. Bush" doctrine then your score on the equation is less than zero.

We must not mind the statement made by Charlse Camilla, they are in Pakistan and it might have been some sort of safety measure, to avoid the wrath of Osama etc. He might be thinking that saying this would protect him attack by jihadists. We should not mind this just like we did not mind the forced conversion of Fox journalists.

Posted by: pagan at November 3, 2006 8:07 PM

We should mind this. It's called Dhimmitude. And dhimmitude of the future monarch of Britain is not a good thing.

Atheling (which actually means prince of a royal housee, by the way!)

"Stalin and Hitler were not heads of a republican government.

Monarchy does not work because you're stuck with the idiot for life. At least we're able to impeach or vote out an incumbent, as well as set term limits. "

And who was the head of the Weimar Republic who did such a good job of controlling Hitler? You are missing the point, which is that the powers of the monarch in a constitutional monarchy such as Britain are strictly limited. My point about Hitler et al. is that it is not monarchy or republicanism as such that is at fault. And you are stuck with a lot of heads of republican governments for life -- in fact I would guess that most of the world's tyrannies are republics. We don't need to impeach a monarch -- he has no political power.
