 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.| I think the London Underground bombers were saying pretty much the same thing, wouldn't you agree, Chuck? |
| Perhaps Charlie ma-boy Favors the Sunni variety. In Indonesia, two Christian schoolgirls were beheaded |
This guy is a one man argument for republicanism. I guess the good news is the Monarch is a powerless postion and he can't be elected PM.
| Britain hasn't had real good luck with King Chucks, has it? |
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.
Dhimmi. *spit*
| Or, maybe His Royal Heinie likes the Shia variety, the terrorist so-called President of Iran voiced how Israel should be wiped off the map. |
| We're very slowly getting away from finding virtues where none exist, though... |
The Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla)will accompany her husband
SNL should rerun some of the skits from the intercepted phone calls between Chuck and Cammy.
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.
Unlike what comes from Tehran.| It wasn't Buckingham Palace or Parliament that was blown up, was it, Chuck? |
| Britian didnât have 3000 of its citizens turned into DNA goo in an instant. |
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.
And no one ever said it did. Well, maybe a few 'burgers did extrapolate. But they have a few more data points than 9/11. We could send you a list to review, Chuck. But it might be difficult for someone with your attention span to comprehend.| But silence about the actions does. |
| There are lots of Moose limbs who aren't blood-thirsty murderers. We don't have a bitch with them. Our problem is weeding out the kind of scum who cut people's heads off and boom buses and World Trade Centers from the guys who go to work every day and try to be good citizens. |
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.
| Like the fellow who murdered his daughter in St. Louis some years ago, and members of his family screamed at the jury who sent him to prison for life about such a lack of appreciation. |
Why didn't he just say, "Megadittos, Chuck."? | His Highness doesn't read the Pak press very often, I take it? |
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.
| Tony Blair has to approve the Royal Household Budget each year |
He knows not to get Tony pissed or the rest of the tapes will be released.
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.
| Why does he think that hehas to be a self-proclaimed promoter. |
Isn't this guy related to George III? | Relations would improve dramatically if one of them didn't call for the destruction of the others... |
Those present at the meeting in 2001 included Sir Iqbal Sacrani, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, and Hashir Faruqi, the chief editor of Impact International, an Islamic affairs magazine. | Butt kissing â Why do all those front organizations for netherious(sp?) activity have a âSecretary Generalâ? |
Prince Charles, who is about to embark on his first official foreign tour since his marriage to the Duchess of Cornwall, wants Americans - including Mr Bush - to share his fondness for Islam.
| After all, we've been given such good reason... |
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.
I don't think that's going to happen for about 3,000 reasons I can think of off the rop of my head. I hope the reception is so cold all fears of global warming disappear. Is Cammy skipping the conference because it's one of those men only Muslim things?
"The seminar will look at how faith groups can alleviate social problems in their community," a royal aide said.
Guffaw!
| How about quit justifying murder based on Israelâs existence |
The Prince and Duchess will attend a lunch and dinner with President Bush and his wife, Laura, at the White House on Wednesday.
"Laura, Prince Chuck is coming for dinner! Does the chef have any kippers?"
"I don't know, George. What is a kipper?"
"Maybe the chef knows."
"Maybe I should google it?"
"Oh, and I think he's bringing Whatsername."
"Oh. The tampon lady." |
Prince Charles has done more than any other member of the Royal Family in history to understand Islam. He said in 1994 that when he became Supreme Governor of the Church of England, he would rather be "defender of faiths" than "defender of the faith".
Why don't they just make it Defender of the Dhimmis? | PC Politically Correct/Prince Charles |
| Defender of Dar al-Islam has a nice ring to it. |
| Wonder if he owns a pair of curly-toed slippers? |
| He's got the hat already. But if he's gonna be "defender of faiths" plural, that would imply that he's going to defend them against something. The only thing threatening faiths-plural at the moment is militant Islam, which wants kill us all or convert us to militant Islam. Does that mean he's gonna lead a crusade? Or even an upper-case Crusade? I wonder which side he'll be on? |
A year earlier Prince Charles made a speech, acclaimed throughout the Arab world, on relations between Islam and the West. He urged the West to overcome its "unthinkable prejudices" about Islam and its customs and laws.
| Get turned on by Burquas, do ya Chaz? |
Will his coronation be presided over by the Imam of Canterbury or Finsbury Park? | It's going to take me awhile to get over my "unthinkable prejudices" against a religion whose proponents call for lopping things off â women's genitalia, thieves' hands, infidels' heads, that sort of thing. I'm so unsophisticated, I may go to my grave not getting over that "unthinkable prejudice." Should Prince Chuck become Charles III, chances will increase that I'll go to my grave without my noggin. You guys have any Cromwells left over there? |
He spoke warmly of the West's debt to the culture of Islam and distanced moderate Muslims from misguided militants. "Extremism is no more the monopoly of Islam than it is the monopoly of other religions, including Christianity," he said.
| Whereâd I see a story about Christians beheading Muslim schoolgirls in a Christian majority country? And Warmly? How warm was the 75th story of the WTC on 9/11/01 |
| It's not a monopoly, no, but they are trying to corner the market... |
A senior aide to Prince Charles said yesterday: "The Prince has never promoted political messages around religion. He has simply said that he wants a greater tolerance and understanding of each other religions which will, in turn, promote better relations between faiths."
Can't we all just get along? A spokesman for Clarence House declined to discuss the Prince's comments four years ago. "We never discuss private conversations," he said.
Especially concering insertions of bodily parts into orifices. | Convenient out. Flunquis wants to keep getting a paycheck. |
Prince Charles has been wooing the US media ahead of next week's tour when he will visit New York, Washington and San Francisco. It is considered a risky venture because Diana, Princess of Wales, who died eight years ago, was so revered in the US.
NY, DC, SF. How did he miss Boston and Seattle? | MSM? He still thinks the real folks take them seriously anymore? HA! |
In an interview to be shown on CBS's 60 Minutes today, he speaks of his desire to enrich people's lives through his work. "I only hope that when I am dead and gone they might appreciate it a little more," he jokes.
| Enrich? 60 Minutes? Joke? As to the last one, the only laughing I am hearing is from Osama buried under earthquake rubble in a cave in Pakistan |
I know I'll appreicate everything about him much more when he's dead and gone. The sooner the better. 'nshallah. |
