What Faith Is He Defending?
Dotty Prince Charles, whose titles should he ascend the throne will include Defender of the Faith, seems to be a bit confused about what faith he is supposed to defend. As a London newspaper reports:
"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....
"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.
"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.
"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."
Loose Canon is a royal history buff and ordinarily would be kindly disposed towards Charles. But now I can only say: Prince Charles, please go home. Americans have remained incredibly tolerant of law-abiding followers of Islam, refusing, for example, to adopt the policy of profiling at airports lest it hurt feelings.
Is Camilla as dotty as Charles? She seems like such an appropriate Queen of England--if, that is, she was not married to Mr. Parker-Bowles in the eyes of God. By the way, the Defender of the Faith title was bestowed upon Henry VIII by the pope. Then Henry got confused about what faith he was defending. Maybe it runs in the family.
