Prince Charles has a website which presents the full text of his speech, and also a video of him presenting it.
And the title of the speech, evidently chosen by the Prince himself, is “Islam and the Environment”

Charles is fortunate to have a good friend such as you. But it is also obvious that he, not the mass media, is the chief author of his controversial reputation.

Comparisons of Charles to Al Gore are quite appropriate. Both live in luxury, while proclaiming the dangers of much lower levels of consumption by ordinary people. Are they simply incapable of comprehending their own hypocrisy?

Perhaps Charles might benefit from concentrating on mastering some art or science, and spend less time advising the rest of us how to live. I recall that Emperor Hirohito eventually made himself very well respected as a marine biologist.

Yes, I know - where do you think I got the speech from?

If you look at what is on that page, it is his official speeches, and his official diary. That's fine. He can give that information out and he does.

What he cannot do is engage in an argument with the media or complain that they are not publicising what he says. So he has to put up with their biased reporting.

And, yes, the speech was called Islam and the Environment - because he was speaking to a Muslim students group, he chose to talk about his understanding of Islam. If he was talking to a Jewish students group, the main focus would be his knowledge of Judaism (which is also very detailed).

But nobody would be trying to claim that made him Jewish.

The Prince of Wales has made extensive efforts in his own life and his own business to promote sustainable methods of farming and business that 'consume' as little as possible. He has spent a great deal of his own money (and it is his own money - he doesn't receive any money from British taxpayers, and in facts pays a great deal of tax, because he is wealthy) - ensuring all his own properties are as environmentally sound as it possible to do so.

And for the record, when it comes to art, he's a fairly accomplished painter, and when it comes to science, he is a genuine expert on organic farming. He has also done an immense amount of good work in terms of preserving historic sites, and promoting the preservation of historic architecture.

Islam and environmentalism...two evil, oppressive and hatful idologies that go together perfectly. I hope Charles, within his own life and small world, can experience the spirit of his ideology personally and soon.
