Prince Charles has described threats to Christians in the Middle East as "an indescribable tragedy".

He made the comments in a message at the launch of a report by Catholic charity, Aid to the Church in Need.

This report said that religious freedom had deteriorated in 55 of the 196 countries studied in recent months.

Prince Charles said events in Iraq and Syria, where civil war and Islamic State extremists have caused thousands to be displaced, were "heartbreaking".

In Iraq, Christians have been driven out of their ancestral homes and maintain that "crimes against humanity" have been committed against them and Iraq's other minorities - such as the Yazidis.

And in Syria, more than 100,000 Syrians have lost their lives in the escalating conflict between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule.

The report claims that across the world, Christians remain the most persecuted religious minority, while Muslim countries predominate among states with the most serious violations of religious freedom.

Why divert to Kony and 'collective guilt and all that? Why not address the "indescribable tragedy"? Why not face facts about Christians remaining the most persecuted religious minority, while Muslim countries predominate among states with the most serious violations of religious freedom. 

You can't really maintain the victim mentality in the face of such evidence.

How about some quotes he DID say about islam?

"According to their doctrine, whatever is stolen or plundered from others of a different faith, is properly taken, and the theft is no crime; whilst those who suffer death or injury by the hands of Christians, are considered as martyrs. If, therefore, they were not prohibited and restrained by the powers who now govern them, they would commit many outrages. These principles are common to all Saracens"

"attention [went] to the doctrines of the Sect of the Saracens [i.e., Islam], which excuse every crime, yea, even murder itself, when committed on such as are not of their religion."

As well...

"Other "Islamophobic" allusions are scattered throughout Polo's account: the caliph of Baghdad's "daily thoughts were employed on the means of converting to his religion [Islam] those who resided within his dominions, or, upon their refusal, in forming pretences for putting them to death" (p.59); and Muslims "utterly detest the Christians" (p.316­­­­­), perhaps in accordance to Koran 60:4 — still cited by today's Islamists as mandating permanent hatred for non-Muslims."

"In short, the word "Islamophobia" is a ruse — also permitted in Islam under the doctrine of taqiyya — meant to paralyze all discussion concerning Muslim doctrine; and it has been successful: the United Nations has already presided over a conference titled "Confronting Islamophobia" and a Council of Europe summit condemned "Islamophobia." Moreover, the influential Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) regularly lambasts the specter of Islamophobia, calling it the "worst form of terrorism," and publishing two reports on the phenomenon."


I think you should not be such a bigoted racist.

Do your homework next time you silly little boy.

You made no point,

Islamophobia feeds on our fear of an evil within

You’ve got hate mail: how Islamophobia takes root online

Islamophobia is racism, pure and simple

Whats wrong Soren?  Unable to tolerate different opinions?  I don't claim Islamophobia is racism, the article does.  I just included it for completeness sake.

Spoken like a true semi-literate (like Mohammed) - printed, therefore sacred, mustn't be criticised.   The fetish for writing of the semi-literates.
