Charles As Lawrence Of Arabia?
Prince Charles hits DC this week, Camilla in hand, on a mission to confront Washington's confrontational approach to Islam and, according to WashTimes, America's "failure to appreciate what he regards as Islam's strengths."
Charles has a long history of fondess for Islam that apparently hasn't been significantly dimished by Sept. 11, or the Madrid and London bombings. In 1994, he said that when he becomes king and with it, the head of the Church of England, he will become the "defender of faiths rather than the defender of the the faith."
It's a good thing, this dialog Chuck Windsor wants to start. There's always room for a spirited discussion of all sides of an issue -- especially if it will make Muslims turn more against terrorism, stop their support of CAIR, and reform their faith to dismiss jihad as a false teaching.
It will also be interesting to watch the media coverage. Will his defense of Islam even get mentioned when there's juicy Camilla-watching to do?
