In London, on the 30th anniversary of the Islamic Development Bank:
"I am certain that with the support of the Islamic Development Bank
my charities will be able to increase their efforts to address the challenges
we face in Britain's cities and help those younger British Muslims
who feel they have little or no stake in society to play a fuller part
in the country's affairs by promoting community and entrepreneurial development."

To 800 Islamic scholars and terrorists at Cairo's Al-Azhar University
"The recent ghastly strife and anger over the Danish cartoons
shows the danger that comes of our failure to listen and to respect what is precious
and sacred to others. In my view, the true mark of a civilised society
is the respect it pays to minorities and to strangers."
[Mar. 21, 2006, Charles, The Islamic Prince of Wales]
"(Queen Elizabeth II is) one of the severest enemies of Islam (responsible for) crusader laws."
[Nov. 13, 2005, Ayman al- Zawahiri on the mother of Charles, The Islamic Prince of Wales]
At the Al Imam Mohammad Bin Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
"I think we need to recover the depth, the subtlety, the generosity of imagination,
the respect for wisdom that so marked Islam in its great ages. ...
What is so distinctive of the great ages of faith surely was that they understood,
as well as sacred texts ... the meaning of God's word for all time and its meaning for this time. …
it was Islam's greatness to understand this in its full depth and challenge. This is what you ...
can give not only to Islam but by example to all the other children of Abraham."
[Mar. 25, 2006, Charles, The Islamic Prince of Wales]
