Is Prince Charles a Muslim? One day, this man will be the head of the Church of England:
The premiere of a work by the leading composer Sir John Taverner in Westminster Cathedral next week has provoked discord because it glorifies the Muslim deity Allah.
Traditionalist Roman Catholics are planning to converge on the cathedral on Tuesday evening to protest over the work, which includes the singing of the 99 names of Allah.
Sir John’s music featured in the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, and his new work, The Beautiful Names, was commissioned by his friend the Prince of Wales.

In a 1997 Middle East Quarterly article titled "Prince Charles of
Arabia," Ronni L. Gordon and David M. Stillman looked at evidence
that Britain's Prince Charles might be a secret convert to Islam. They shifted
through his public statements (defending Islamic law, praising the status of
Muslim women, seeing in Islam a solution for Britain's ailments) and actions
(setting up a panel of twelve "wise men" to advise him on Islamic religion and
culture), then concluded that, "should Charles persist in his admiration of
Islam and defamation of his own culture," his accession to the throne will
indeed usher in a "different kind of monarchy."
All this comes to mind on reading an article titled "Charles Breaks Fast with the Faithful in Muscat"
in today's Dubai-based Gulf News, which reports on some of Charles' activities
during his current five-day visit to Oman:
He toured the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque for almost two hours and
"took keen interest in studying various sections at the mosque, including the
main prayer hall." As his spokesman put it, "The Prince was particularly keen to
come to the mosque today to see the fantastic building and remarkable
architecture which Prince was fascinated with. The Prince has a great love for
Islamic architecture and I can't think of finer example than this mosque."
He "spent a considerable time at an exhibition of Islamic
calligraphy and held meetings with Sheikha Aisha Al Siaby, Head of Public
Authority for Craft Industries and Taha Al Kisri, the Head of Omani Society for
Fine Arts to discuss various aspects of Islamic art."
He "broke fast with a large congregation of people from different
nationalities as he sat with folded legs on the floor in the open. He ate date
and drank juice at the call of Iftar."
There's much more. Go read the whole thing.

I hope Charles is a Muslim.
I am a British Republican.
My turn to do the beheading.
You mean you want to behead Charles?
Charles' delusional tendency is not new. Read this for some historial precedent:

As you know, his deceased former wife was besotted with Muslim men.
Yep.
What is a British Republican, by the way?
It would be good news if Charles has in fact converted to islam--for one, it would signal the end of the monarchy and secondly it could plunge Britain into civil war.
The lefties will be between a rock and a hard place here--between support for their islamist allies and loathing of the monarchy.
Interesting times...
Good point, KG.
Hey, you write for Western Heart, don't you? Good blog.
By the way, I blog with J.R. over at Astute Bloggers.
I do, Pastorius. Although I'm not in the same league as you and JR.
I'll go take a look at Astute Bloggers. Thanks.
No one is in the same league as J.R. There's a guy who's relentlessly brilliant. Jeez.
I don't always agree with him, but even when I don't, I dare not bother expressing disagreement, because, I'd just get bitchslapped.

I was only really jesting about beheading Charles. He's a worst a pea-brained inbred who thinks he is an intellectual.
As for: "what is a British Republican". The answer, quite, simply is someone who would like to see an elected head of state. Englishmen like Thomas Paine have been banging on about this for centuries, we Brits just don't want to go for it.
KG - nice point, the country would go insane if he came out as a Muslim.
I was just reading about Thomas Paine last night. Did you know that, after he did what he did in America, he was elected into French Parliament, and after that, he was put on trial in Britain for seditious libel.
Being put on trial in Britain for seditous libel would be a badge of honour, imho. :-
Yeah, especially then, or now.
Pastorius,
Eventually Paine got tried and imprisoned by the French. Paine made enemies of everyone, including his friends.
Sounds, like a good chap to me. Typically English. Unfortunately, that spirit has been subverted, now it sides with Palestinian barbarians, forgets honour killings, and has its core moral relativism and a hatred of anything decent.
