Prince Charles's plea to Muslims to stop killing Christians ‘Religion of peace’ bromides are now giving way to frank denunciation The prince and his entourage visit a Syriac Orthodox church in London. The only remaining public duty of Britain’s royal family is to say aloud with compelling grace what all sane people are thinking – something less easy than it sounds.
Prince Charles, next in line for both the crown and the title “Defender of the Faith,” yesterday performed that task. He asked, indeed pleaded, for people to pray for his “brothers and sisters in Christ” who he said are being systematically slaughtered, suppressed and driven from their ancient homelands in the Middle East.
To do this Charles convened an inter-religious Advent reception in London, preceded by visits to a Coptic Christian center and a Syriac Orthodox church, where he was beset with stories and pictures of carnage and calamity in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. With him were Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan, a noted Islamic scholar and sometime Regent for King Abdulah II, along with many U.K. religious leaders. Read more about this event here
