Clueless or what?A 1996 letter by the Prince of Wales has become public in which he told a Muslim head of state that he supports "proper fundamentalism" as “in the best interest of the future of our world”.   The letter was written to Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia’s prime minister from 1981 to 2003.

Charles told Mahathir, who later claimed that Jews "rule the world by proxy", he understood the "frustrations" Muslims experience "as a result of apparent Western misunderstanding and misrepresentation. I have, for a long time, despaired of the ignorant and thoroughly evil 'role' of the tabloid media in deliberately misrepresenting Islam and reducing everything to the level of the absurd."
. . .
Charles said he saw the appeal of "proper fundamentalism" in "a world, in my part of it at any rate, which is increasingly without meaning, without roots, without a spiritual dimension and which worships the God of Technology." He finished his letter with the rallying cry: "There is much to be done…!"

The letter has been published in Dr Mahatir’s collection of letters to world leaders.

One hopes that the heir to the throne has re-considered his rose-coloured view of Islam in the wake of the 9/11 and 7/7 Muslim terrorist attacks.

I agree that technology is an idol and not to be worshipped, but the same goes for the Allah of Islam.  Prince Charles should take his mother’s faith more seriously.
