Koran should be read at Prince Charles' coronation says top bishop: Critics attack proposal and accuse Church of England of 'losing confidence' in its own traditions -Lord Harries said gesture would be a ‘creative act of accommodation’ -Speaking in House of Lords claimed it would help Muslims feel ‘embraced’ -Critics attacked idea insisting 'British values stem from Christian heritage'

Prince Charles’s coronation service should be opened with a reading from the Koran, a senior Church of England bishop said yesterday.

The gesture would be a ‘creative act of accommodation’ to make Muslims feel ‘embraced’ by the nation, Lord Harries of Pentregarth said.

Embrace your honor killing, bomb-vest wearing, head-chopping, perpetually outraged psychopathic bloodthirsty Borg-cube zombie? No thanks. But please feel free to hug away - over there somewhere.

Absolutely stupid to the point of suicidal.

Muslims NEVER feel embraced by other cultures; they either feel defeated or victorious.

Which of these two do these self-deluded Brits think will be felt by Muslims hearing the Koran recited at the Coronation of a British King?

Utterly moronic.

All it will do is show Muzzies that Christians are weak and are there for the taking.

They think Western Civilization is near an end and they are surrendering in hopes of retaining their life of wealth and privilege.

They don’t mind feeding the rest of us to Islam to do it.

Muslims laugh and joke with each other about these multiKulti cave-in idiots. Islam is the most supremacist religion (cult) on the planet. Are the Muzzies zapping these stupid Brits with mind rays? lol

Yes, that's the problem, you idiot. "Accomodating" them.

to make Muslims feel ‘embraced’ by the nation


allowing muslim men to rape white girls for decades didn’t make them feel embraced???????
allowing UK schools to implement sharia education didn’t make them feel embraced?????

Doesn't matter what she says, he will be. She can't change the succession. The Parliament can (with the permission of the Parliament's of all the other Commonwealth Realms) but the Queen can't.

And whatever Lord Harries says, the Koran will not be read at the Coronation. The Coronation is a sacrament of the Church of England and the form has been largely fixed since 1307 (and a lot of the 1307 order is the same as that originally fixed in 896). No text from another religion, nor any secular texts will be added to the Coronation. It would not be tolerated - and certainly would not be tolerated by the Prince of Wales. There are some changes in other areas, he might contemplate - but not to this service.

For some time now I have come to the conclusion that mankind is going from dumb to stupid, perhaps there may be something in the water, you think?

No. If Muslims want to feel “embraced”, they can wear a straight jacket.

The British Sovereign is ‘Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England’, and for that reason and many others any coronation should use scripture from the Church of England - the Bible - not from the satanic ramblings of a pedophile.

About what could be expected from a nation that sells off its front line fighter jets on Ebay and surrenders its sovereignty to foreigners.
