Charles in Charge

How will an already fractious Britain fare under an ardently Islamophilic king?

Yes, I watched the queen’s obsequies on Monday from start to finish – first the funeral at Westminster Abbey, then the committal service at Windsor, and in between the magnificent procession through the fabled streets of London. And yes, I was moved. And impressed. Never in our lifetimes has there been such a remarkable ceremonial display.........Born and raised in America, I never had much truck with royalty........... I always had a proper republican allergy to the idea of ordinary people – “subjects”! – bowing down to their purported betters. ...........In any event, could Charles ever possibly be the kind of monarch his mother was – perfectly proper, totally disciplined, always at a lofty but at the same time somehow humble remove?..............

Charles isn’t just any king. He’s a king, alas, with a long history of intense admiration for Islam.  Case in point: when the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies was founded in 1993, Charles became its patron (he still is) and delivered its inaugural address, described earlier this month in the Middle East Eye as “electrifying.” Characterizing Islam as part of Europe’s “past and our present” (yes – in the form of armies of conquest), Charles identified “equity and compassion” as the “guiding principle and spirit of Islamic law,” praised the rights that Islam grants women (no mention of forced marriages or honor killings), celebrated the “remarkable tolerance” of medieval Islam, and asked Muslims in Europe to appreciate “the importance of integration” while asking non-Muslims to respect Islam and “avoid actions which are likely to cause deep offence.”................No surprise, then, that as soon as Charles ascended to the throne, Muslims – and his fellow Islamophiles – cheered..........

Given this jihadist strife – which is commonplace these days not just in Leicester but all over England – does the U.K. (to say nothing of Canada, Australia, and Belize) really want a king who not only refrains from standing up for freedom of speech and public order and against totalitarian religion but who actively embraces Islam, the most tyrannical of faiths, and who has instructed the people who are now his subjects that they shouldn’t criticize it? ................To Read More.....

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Burkina Faso: On Sunday, July 3, Muslim terrorists entered a Christian village and surrounded a church, where they murdered at least 22 people. Discussing that and others attacks on Christians in recent months, Dr. Caroline Hull, National Director of Aid to the Church in Need (UK), said:

“Across all of Africa—particularly the Sahel region where Burkina Faso is—jihadism is growing and, with that, Christian persecution. Christians are murdered, people are abducted, women are raped and treated terribly…. “It is heart-breaking …. The international community needs to keep a close eye on this new epicentre of terrorism because left unchecked it could become incredibly disruptive, not just to Africa but to the rest of the world too.”

According to a July 22 report, Catholic churches and parishes are especially under assault:To Read More....

Islam, the ‘religion of peace,’ strikes again June 7, 2022 As has happened in the past, representatives of Islam, outraged by someone stating historically accepted facts about their faith, have gone on the warpath. More

 

The Battle of Damietta: Saint Louis's Greatest Victory over Islam By Raymond Ibrahim  June 6, 2022 - Today in history, on June 6, Louis IX of France — better known to posterity as Saint Louis — scored a dramatic victory over Islam. It was late May 1249, and the Seventh Crusade had begun.  Louis and his army, which consisted of some twenty-five thousand Crusaders, set sail from Cyprus.  Their destination, based on the by now standard Crusader logic that Egypt must be neutralized before Jerusalem could be secured, was the Egyptian port of Damietta.............
