Prince Charles: Follow the Islamic way to save the world

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic ‘spiritual principles’ in order to protect the environment. In an hour long speech, the heir to the throne argued that man’s destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions- but particularly those of Islam.

The Prince was speaking to an audience of scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies – which attempts to encourage a better understanding of the culture and civilization of the religion.

Charles, who is a practicing Christian and will become the head of the Church of England when he succeeds to the throne, spoke in depth about his own study of the Quran which, he said, tells its followers that there is ‘no separation between man and nature’ and says we must always live within our environment’s limits.
