Heir to British throne urges subjects to think about Mohammed at Christmastime
By Thomas Lifson
Prince Charles, who is slated to be the formal head of the Church of England, is behaving like a proper dhimmi, spouting P.C. nonsense. Justin Holcomb reports on Townhall:
While speaking on the British radio show "Thought for the Day," the future King of Britain, Prince Charles, said that Christians should be more mindful of Islam and Muhammad during the holidays.

After the Berlin massacre, I'm quite sure Chuck doesn't need to worry about people thinking of Mohhamed. :whistle:
-
Uhhhhhhmmmmmmmm.... no.
-
A perfect example of whats wrong with 'royalty'.
-
Well the muzzies killing innocents kind of guarantees that, now doesn't it? :shrug:
-
No wonder his mum will not abdicate to this fool.
He does not know what Christmas is. It is about Christ, not Islam, idiot.
I hope Liz lives to be 100.

Long live Queen Elizabeth!

Especially inbred royalty.

Long live Queen Elizabeth!
To quote Johnny Rotten...
"God Save the Queen.....We MEAN IT, man!"
-
It's probably a good idea to abolish the monarchy at this point
-
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
-
Amen! And then skip Charles and go straight to Andrew.
No it actually would go to William, after Charles.
I like William and Kate.
-
Amen! And then skip Charles and go straight to Andrew.
is he the one who had hooker & cocaine parties or the one who dressed as a Nazi?

No that's Prince Harry. Charles and Diana's youngest son. (Single)

Those are the ones who released pics of themselves in the tub with their child, right....
that whole clan has no class

Bingo. Prince Charles is about done in the list of royalty now.

Really? Kate is about the classiest thing to show up in Britain since the Jag XKE.

No they didn't. That was a gag pulled by "look alikes" that some idiot artist spoofed.

Back in the day when I was working over there , Tony Blair's youngest was born while he was PM. I overhead some Americans going on about the "The Royal Baby". I had to bite my tongue not to correct them. Royal baby my Aunt Fannie! He was the PM not related to HRH Queen Elizabeth.
I didn't want to wreck my story so I and the other reporter used their quote and prayed our editor would let us drop it.
He didn't. He wanted the world to show how stupid "Yanks" were. When it came to these matters, :(

Those comments of his made me wince. My son has lived in London for over 30 years and I have been there numerous times dealing with those folks while shopping and eating in their restaurants and listening to son's friends. Their opinion of Americans is the pits. They still think we are rebels to have left there and gone to America. I come from English stock on both sides of my heritage. My "rebel" ancestors left there. If they hadn't left, I would be living in England. Jeesh!
I went there so many times I bought books about English history, English architecture, English royalty. Besides Queen Victoria who was a worker and guided England during their major growth period (which is why I am Victora33 here), the rest lived lives of luxury and decadence and that is still going. Princess Diana had a chance to do good work, but they treated her like peasant dirt, including her husband, Charles, who seems to prefer Islam than the Church of England. My travels there included the time of Diana's life so I got the rumor mill news about her treatment when I was there. Son was considered to do a film about the royal family, had contacts inside Buckingham Palace, so he had info. other people didn't have about the actual actions inside that family and treatment of Diana.
Well, I didn't intend to write so much, but Charles is not fit to be King.

@Victoria33 ,
The Queen knows the people don't like Charles for King, but love William.
My gut feeling from working in London was she won't abdicate but place in her will that the crown goes sideways to her grandson.
Scholarly, I don't know how possible it is. But I honestly feel the country doesn't want Charles at this point to be King George VII.
I'm not getting anything from my dog-earred copy of Burke's Peerage. Any other Anglophiles out there?
-
INDEED.
I strongly agree about idiot Charles.
I'd love to see him skipped over for King. There must be a way to arrange that. I don't think the Queen wants him next, either.
Just imho.
Thanks for the narrative confirmation of some of my suspicions.
My heritage goes back to the 1400's in England, too. And likely before that, France, Scandinavia, with components from Ireland, Scotland, the Balkins, Middle East, Afghanistan, India & Tibet. LOL.

It's not. About the most that could happen is, on Herself's death or abdication, Charles chooses to abdicate before being invested, thus passing the crown to William. Not impossible, he doesn't really want the job, but highly unlikely.

Actually, I don't think Charles is fit to be garbage collector.
He has about as much sense as a drunken lobotomized slug.

Could she arrange an agreement before her passing? If it included the legislature or some such arrangement, could it be binding? It's rather disgusting to even imagine Charles in that role.

Nope. If she tried, there would be no legislature. The UK government derives it's legitimacy from the Crown and the Crown only - not the people. 1500 years of law is not put aside for a whim.
We've had bad kings before. We'll have them again. Hoc etiam transibit should be the UK's motto.
-
I meant William. Old age bit me on the fanny again. ;)
In British English, "fanny" has a very different meaning than it does in the States. One doesn't wear a fanny pack in the UK; it's called a bum bag.
-
No that's Prince Harry. Charles and Diana's youngest son. (Single)
It appears Harry has grown up and isn't the party animal anymore, or if he is, it's carefully kept under wraps. I believe his military service changed him for the better. Last I heard, he was actively involed in helping wounded military.

He may not, but I suspect Camilla wants it for him and it would seem she gets what she wants.

@EC
Maybe not. It's not like he is 22 and single,and dreaming of all the hot broads he can hump. He's borderline geezer,most of the publicity/fame he has been presented with his whole life has been negative,and he really has nothing to gain. On the other hand,he can pass it on down the line,and live our his life in retirement with nobody screwing with him.
I guess it probably depends on what the horse he married wants. She may well be a social climber that wants to share a throne.

I agree with you that Charles will not be skipped over in favor of William. Full disclosure: I think Charles is a nitwit in many areas, but I also think he's a good father and is dedicated to his duties. I'm not much of a Diana fan, either. There's no doubt that she was a victim of adultery, but she could be quite manipulative herself, and I think she was a handful to deal with.
From what I've read (I'm an Anglophile myself, and my ancestry is British), there's no way Elizabeth would consider interfering with the order of succession. The monarchy has been her life, and the idea of doing so is something that she wouldn't even begin to consider.

@sneakypete
I dunno - he takes the concept of duty to the country pretty seriously. With the exception of Eddie the fop, they all do - it's one of their better features.
Still, we'll see. Herself has a few years in her yet, thankfully.

@Applewood
He's my favorite of the bunch. I remember reading that he put himself in harm's way deliberately, though he didn't need to, because he believed it would be an injustice to his troops to do otherwise. I think he's grown up a lot. I wish he'd get married...I think he'll make a great father.

I remember their televised wedding...in an age of cookie-cutter, boring strapless wedding dresses, there she was, the epitome of class:

As I recall, his grandmother, the Queen, had Harry pulled out of Afghanistan, and Harry was not pleased. He wanted to stay with his regiment.
Looks like the males in the royal family are required or at least expected to perform military service (maybe someone with more knowledge can correct me on that). Most of them, at least the younger generation, go through the motions, do their duty and come out with some high rank like lieutenant or higher. Seems that Harry actually took his service seriously. Whatever happened, the military did him a world of good.
I did see recently Harry does have a serious girlfriend. When or if they marry remains to be seen. No doubt, he is under pressure to settle down.

It is not a law, but something much stronger. It is a tradition. :tongue2:
Harry is good. He's a fine officer, brash when needed and cautious when needed in equal measure. William is a better pilot, by far. I too prefer Harry as a person, but William undoubtedly has that "it" that will make him a monarch on the level of his grandmother and great great great grandmother.

Then we had Prince Charles on Thought for the Day [0748] giving us a highly political sermon that essentially equated the Muslim terrorist and his fellow travellers in Germany with Jesus, Mary and Joseph…the Holy Family being refugees themselves.
If you were not a republican before you probably are now as you were treated to a highly misleading and dishonest interpretation of what is happening in the world. Charlieboy told us of the terrible persecution of Christians, of Christians attacked and driven out of their own lands, not just Christians but Yazidis, Jews, Ahmadis, Bahais and other minority groups. ...

@CatherineofAragon,
Certainly I consider it extremely improbable for a list of reasons.
However . . . people really do not appreciate the import of the fact that it was the flaky organizations that first and most accurately predicted about Hitler.
And, occasionally, The Enquirer does break preposterous stories that prove out true and are eventually take up even by the MSM.
Though I don't think this will be one of those stories. And, I left it in the rack, merely reading the headline and cover blurbs. I had NO desire to pick it up and read the inside story.
LOL.
It was largely interesting to me given that there was a thread about the ingrown family hereon.
However, anyone who's read much on the conspiracy stuff about Diana's death . . . should be aware that there are tons of flags on that play.

Seems like the Enquirer was the only news outlet breaking news on some of the Clinton and Obama scandals not long ago.
My favorite tabloid magazine always had black and white photos on the front,and headlines like "Lock Ness Monster pregnant with the Love Child of Elvis!,(photos inside!)". How can anyone NOT want to read that?
I think they may have gone out of business,though. I don't remember seeing in recently. I think it was named "World News Daily" or something similar.

I did not know that Britain changed their rules to allow a divorcee to wear the Crown.
I assumed Charles already was unfit to be Monarch after his divorce from Diana, considering his great uncle abdicated the throne to marry a divorcee.
Charles is a twit and a hopeless embarrassment to the West and to Christendom.

I greatly agree.
Evidently public sentiment plays a role in such issues as being the monarch even with divorce.
So why wouldn't public sentiment play a role in having him passed over for his son?
What was the name of the evil woman in 101 Dalmatians? That's what his . . . calculating and manipulative consort reminds me of.
Charles persistently strikes me as way toooo full of himself to have the least bit of redeeming social value.
Then I read where . . . there's a law such that in the lands he's titled over . . . if someone dies without a will--he gets all their property--and has done so--presumably gleefully--several times.
His clueless arrogance will crash and burn . . . his pontifical spewing will end . . . none too soon, imho.

@INVAR
An interesting question...I had to go find the answer to it.
Until 2002, the Church of England didn't permit remarriage for those who were divorced with a spouse who was still living. In that year the rules were revised, and in some cases those individuals were allowed a church wedding. It wouldn't matter for Charles anyway, since Diana is dead, but he still didn't remarry in church.
So, as per the 2002 ruling, Charles, future head of the Anglican church, will not be prevented from wearing the crown.

Henry VIII.
The monarch (whether King or Queen) can be divorced. Until recently, their spouse - no.
Edit to add: besides, Wallace Simpson's problem was not the divorce. She was Catholic and that is still a no-go.

That's the one! Thanks for correctly identifying it. I think they must have gone out of business because I don't see them anywhere anymore.
I don't think I ever bought one,but I LOVED reading the front pages of them while standing in line at the grocery store. No matter how "down" I was going in,those headlines always had me smiling when I left. If not outright laughing.
EVERY front page always had the notation "photos inside",and there were NEVER any photos. There would be "artist renditions of what the event/person/creature/brain fart looked like.
One of the things that scared me the most back then was the faint suspicion that someone,somewhere actually believed every word.
Then the internet came along,message boards were developed,and now I am firmly convinced there were multitudes of 'muricans taking it as the Gospel truth.

After a long plane ride, let me just crouch in stilettos, put the fear of God in my older child while holding my younger on my legs -- in a dress and hat in front of foreign dignitaries -- and then gracefully stand up without falling over...

Good for her! ALL children should understand who is the boss in their families,and understand that it ain't them.

YIKES! Is it still being published? When was that issue put out? I NEED to read about Bubbette! and her alien baby.

So, as per the 2002 ruling, Charles, future head of the Anglican church, will not be prevented from wearing the crown.
Oh yes. Quite the Defender of the Faith he will be, given the substance of this article.
This stupid comment alone should disqualify him from the throne, as obviously he is incapable of carrying out those duties.

Oh, I completely agree...there are plenty of people who will buy right into it, no matter how crazy it is.
WWN has a website, but their headlines are a little out of date. Earth was going to collide with Nibiru (?) on December 21st, so that didn't happen....and Putin didn't campaign with Trump. Well, at least overtly, so maybe I should give them that. But if Kim Kardashian's butt really did explode, I feel we would have heard about it elsewhere.

@CatherineofAragon
If ANYTHING as big as Kim's butt were to explode,we would all notice a disturbance in the force. Floods,hurricanes,snow in summer,etc,etc,etc.

I always thought playing Ray Steven's "Ahab the A-Rab" right before any diplomatic meeting with the ragheads would set the proper tone. WE don't need THEM. THEY need US!
