Prince Charles Urges Environmentalists: Follow the Islamic Way to Save World

Prince Charles was out pushing his green religion yesterday with a new twist.
During his hourlong speech the heir to the British throne urged environmentalists to follow the Islamic way to save the world.
Huh?
The Daily Mail reported:
Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic ‘spiritual principles’ in order to protect the environment.
In an hour-long speech, the heir to the throne argued that man’s destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions – but particularly those of Islam.
He said the current ‘division’ between man and nature had been caused not just by industrialisation, but also by our attitude to the environment – which goes against the grain of ‘sacred traditions’.
Charles, who is a practising Christian and will become the head of the Church of England when he succeeds to the throne, spoke in depth about his own study of the Koran which, he said, tells its followers that there is ‘no separation between man and nature’ and says we must always live within our environment’s limits.
The prince was speaking to an audience of scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies – which attempts to encourage a better understanding of the culture and civilisation of the religion.
His speech, merging religion with his other favourite subject, the environment, marked the 25th anniversary of the organisation, of which he is patron.

That man is very creepy.
FedUp commented:
Since when was this moron ever relevant? Too much inbreeding in the Royal gene pool!
Granny commented:
There have been rumours – fairly well substantiated rumours at that – the Charles converted to Islam quite some time ago.
wally commented:
And this is one of the many reasons why the Queen has decided to skip a generation and not let Charles become King.
neomom commented:
Too much inbreeding in that clan. Or, maybe he is hoping the moozlims they have let propagate Europe will burn down his castle last.
P. Aaron commented:
This dunce (Putz Charles) ought to walk Gaza, or the streets of Syria and Jordan and notice the lack of proper sewage systems, water and waste treament facilities, as well as the scourge of common diseases ravaging the populace there that these ‘evirionmental icons’ really look to western democracies to solve.
What a putz!
CLN commented:
Charles likes societies where the elites live in style, the masses are ruled in relatibe squalor and women have no rights at all. I hope his mother lives to be 105!
BackwardsBoy commented:
Are we to assume that there’s not a corresponding Christian reason to be good stewards of God’s Creation?
rahel@israel commented:
pretty surprising. europ is in a serious threat to loose its individuality not just becouse of globalization, but also becoude of growing number of muslim citizens, i am surprised that prince is not that concerned about saving traditions.
kate commented:
A dim bulb!
seven commented:
Remember how the greatest environmental event was setting 600 oil wells on fire in Kuwait?
Who done dat???
mbabbitt commented:
The labels for this man are abundant: putz, loon, schmuck, bozo. It’s hard to believe he has been educated in any meaningful way. What an embarrassment for Western Civilization. We’re losing to people who can’t find anything more creative to do than talk their youth into blowing themselves up to kill as many others as they can. Prince Charles will be the poster boy for explaining how Europe returned to the Dark Ages.
Ruth H commented:
The future head of the Church of England. I hope not. They have had quite a few of their kings become “dotty.” This one is doing it before he is crowned. A good incentive for his mother to keep healthy.
Jim commented:
What a twit!
Wright commented:
Long live the queen!
Tabbysmom commented:
Poor Diana! Wonder how many English people, and their Christian beliefs. he offended by these remarks? We’ll never know. They are too politically correct, in their own country, to say anything negative about Prince Charles.THIS is the future of “political correctness”! Are you listening America???

Crikey. As one who lived 11 years in Saudi Arabia, I know just the sort of white-gloved stewardship of the planet to which he refers. For example, we should follow the example of the Devout Muslim Saddam Hussein, who blew up Kuwait’s oil wells so the resulting fires, which burned for a year, blacked out the sun many days as far south as Dhahran, and left half of Kuwait paved with crude oil.
And BP is currently following the exceptionally environmentally sensitive decision by Devout Muslim Saddam Hussein, who blew up a pipeline that pumped crude into the Persian Gulf for I don’t know how long, but meant that all the fishermen and shrimpers could not sell catch from the gulf for years. Yes! That is the Islamic way of being Green, and now, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Texas may soon be as green as the Saudi flag.
I was especially impressed with the “don’t worry about throwing it away, the sand will cover it eventually” approach to litter control, garbage collection, and removal of wrecked cars from the side of the road.
And my trips to the beach were always more fun because of the slaughtered goat carcasses left in a pile or thrown into the gulf. Nothing says Family Day At The Beach like having your toddler bring you a bloody goat mandible.
The Islamic Way of Garbage Removal made for very scenic scuba diving too – did you know that bed springs and refrigerators thrown into the gulf can be used to start an artificial reef?
Diving in the Persian Gulf was like diving in a landfill.
Finally, my eyes always become misty and I feel homesick when I smell a backed-up sewer. It smells like Bahrain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
There is NO evidence that Muslims in the Muslim world give a happy cr@p about the environment. What a total idiot.
Granny commented:
#14 – the future head of the Church of England.
Probably not. The official title for that position is Defender of THE Faith. Charles has long since announced that he will not be the Defender of THE Faith but rather “Defender of Faith.” This is one of the big pieces of evidence that lead many to believe that Charles did indeed convert to islam.
