Archbishop of Cantebury and Sharia Law - should Prince Charles take note?

Question

Prince Charles has said that should he become monarch (and so head of the church of england) he does not want the title 'Defender of the Faith' - instead he wants the title 'Defender of Faith'.

Are the british people going to accept such a dilution of traditional british values?

Answer 1

Prince Charles and the ArchBishop of Canterbury should bow to public demand and disappear

Answer 2

It's a rather cogent comment that recognizes the diversification of Britain's population. At one time, the king was the defender of 'the' faith, because there was only one accepted faith. Today, that is no longer true, so Charles is being very realistic. Even though his mother bears the title 'defender of the faith' it isn't true, because there is not, and has not been for a very long time, a single faith in England. Yes, she is head of the Church of England, but that is not the only accepted faith in that country.

Answer 3

'Charles is about the only monarch that actually is! in touch with the people, and with civil and social reality. that's why the press hate him. that's why he gets so much bad press. he doesn't believe in throwing money at some thing for the sake of it. and says that regeneration should come from the people not! business or local councils. (in other words, if its not sanctioned by the people, it is very unlikely to generate money for any one other than the individual  who conceived the idea. for those views he is hated by the establishment. personally! i think he's a good bloke, and i trust the man above all royals. its a pity the people don't see through the press and its unhealthy obsession with him. he doesn't come up with these stupid ideas. the labour party are the ones that wanted to change it to all faiths. but as usual. Charles got the blame. the labour party are very much like that sh*t stirring little pr*ck we all hated at school. the one that used to start some thing and then deny having any thing to do with it when it proves unpopular.

Answer 4

He's a muzzie lover just like his pig of an ex-wife was. Probaby taking it in the sausage maker from King Abdullah right now.

Answer 5

Did he really???Shame on him...Henry VIII would turn in his grave.

Answer 6

Why not, we've rolled over for worse ;o(

Answer 7

we have no values or great britain anymore were the uk united kingdom this is where everyone unites from anywhere in the world and stays and dictates only if the monarch rule again we might have a chance but thats never going to happen

Answer 8

Why do we in this country allow such stupid and dangerous people as the Archbishop to attain such high office. This country proudly allows freedom to worship in any way you choose unlike many, if not the majority of Muslim countries. If Muslims feel uncomfortable maybe they should consider moving to a place where they feel more comfortable. Why comment on a redundant institution as the monarchy, Charles is the best reason around why this country should become a Republic.

Answer 9

Perhaps Charles and the Archbishop should both move to Iran. I understand that there are plenty of fools there already.

Answer 10

Long live the Queen.... at least outlive her eldest son.
