Prince Charles, heir to the British throne--as well as the future head of the Church of England--gave a speech today at an Islamic university in Egypt mentioning that Islam, Christianity, and Judaism have the same origin, but went a step further and commented on the recent controversy about those Danish Muhammad cartoons.
From Islam Online:
The recent ghastly strife and anger over the Danish cartoons shows the danger that comes of our failure to listen and to respect what is precious and sacred to others," Prince Charles told an audience of some 3,000 people at Al-Azhar University, Islam's most ancient seat of learning.
"I think of the experience of Muslims living in Europe who are subject to varied and continuous expressions of Islamophobia."
He asserted: "The true mark of a civilized society is the respect it pays to minorities and to strangers."
What a maroon. Surely Prince Charles religions other than Islam are banned in Saudi Arabia.
If the Prince wants to learn more, he can read this Marathon Pundit post:
Iran and its lack of respect for other religions
Or he can review the case of Abdul Rahman, the Afghan who may be executed for converting to Christianity, as Michelle Malkin reports.
