I agree that Charles abdicate as he has breached the Christian Coronation Oath and is no longer the “Defender of the { Christian , ie Anglican /Protestant} Faith ” as established by Act of Parliament in 1544. He may as well “go the whole hog”, become a Mullah. If any modern -day Christian church leaders had any self respect or respect for the Christian Faith, they would emulate the Medieval Popes who used excommunication , ie bar him from entering any Christian church or taking part in any religious services, including receiving Holy Communion, unless , like Henry 11 , he publically confessed his sin on his knees , wore sackcloth and recanted—the Christian Church used to know how to deal with Heretics, because that is what he is !!!
As for all the Hog Wash about how we are indebted to Islam for the “O” and how it “SAVED” our ancient Greco-Roman writings, etc , it is all , rubbish , PROPAGANDA perpetrated in last 60 or so years by a series of professors , like Esposito whose Foundation studies were funded by about 20 million by a Muslim Ruler.
The “O” was invented in India about 5 centuries AD by Brahmagupta, not a Muslim, before Mohammed was born ! It is inscribed on a temple wall. The Muslims DID destroy the Library of Alexandra. To this day Muslim ideology is to destroy all evidence of previous cultures and religions wherever they conquer , eg the recent destruction of the ancient , giant statues of Buddha which existed in Afghanistan because they predated Mohammed and Islam !
The Eastern Roman Empire with its capital , Constantinople, remained the repository of the remaining Western, ie Christian learning which had not been destroyed by Islam when it conquered the Christian Roman Middle East and North Africa. The ancient classical Greco-Roman, eg scientific works of Pythagoras, etc were kept in Constantinople until the Islamic Conquest in 1453 , when the Christian survivors escaped, taking the learning mostly to Venice and to the Eastern Christian churches and monasteries . In Florence it ignited the Renaissance.
What is now Turkey was once Christian , part of the Eastern Roman Empire inhabited by mostly Greeks. Much of so-called Muslim scientific inventions were done pre -Arab Conquest of Persia , by Persians who had their own religions eg Zoroastarianism, etc , not illiterate Arabs, who had no learning , lived in tents with goats in the Arabian desert.
I agree , Islam is not a ” religion ” as it is primarily a system of Coercive Governance, an Ideology . Its teachings on slavery, sex with children, the 72 virgins reward for Muslims who kill Christians, etc cannot be said to be “spiritual” or uplifting . It is MURDER ! Its Teachings are to force Sharia Law on the whole World by Conquest, by force , guile or parliamentary means , and then to wipe out parliament , destroy Democracy and any Western Literature or music and prohibit Freedom of Thought, Speech and Religion which is why it is an Ally of Communism until it gains World Power. Its aim is to wipe out Christianity, Buddhism , Hinduism, etc, only Submission to governance by Islam is permitted .
King Charles has abrogated his Right to Rule as a Christian monarch. It is only a matter of time before the UK is ruled by Sharia Law. Time we leave the UN and the Commonwealth because the UK is a disgrace. BravoTommy Robinson and the Defence League to save Christian UK, The Family, etc!

Over 12 years ago, David Pawson, a UK Baptist pastor and apologist explained how the UK tried to appease the Muslims (a fatal mistake) during Queen Elizabeth’s reign. He tried to warn The UK of the future battle that would take place….he foresaw the spiritual vacuum arising in the UK as materialism and relativism took over, and as immorality and lawlessness grew and truth and absolute values began to fade. Instead of the Bible being a guide, human pride arose and faith in science also. Pluralism, multiculturalism and religious equality arose, along with seemingly good values of ‘tact and tolerance.’
Then syncretism arose where men could choose common ground for mankind and all religions get together (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam blend together). David warned that this made a seemingly good new ‘faith’ community.
As Karl has shown, this led Prince Charles of England to say he wanted to be made known as ‘Defender of faith’ for the betterment of the society- all faiths. (The Pope gave this title to Henry VIII due to Henry writing a book against Protestantism against the Catholic faith. David Pawson saw the church ‘haemorrhaging’ and noted that under 5% attended church weekly in 2014.
David noted that while this spiritual vacuum was taking place, The Shah of Iran called himself the ‘King of kings and Lord of Lords’ which preceded his fall from leadership and later growth of Islam…plus there were other possible factors involved with the fall of the Shah but whatever the case radical Islam arose with a stranglehold over Iran, with the intent to spread their ‘faith’ throughout the world creating Caliphates. The aim was to covert the world but with that agenda and to use Sharia Law to bring women into submission. The greater target was and still is to kill the Jews first and then the infidels (Christians and all non-Muslims who did not conform)
It is a tragedy that the present king has been blinded to this but so have many Governments in the West. We need to keep praying many more nations wake up in time and that Christians will intercede and pray through for Governments and societies to be allowed to teach Biblical principles and the true Judeo-Christian faith.

If King Charles and the Govt continue to allow Islam to have pre-eminence in the UK or to count it as harmless, it will leave no freedom for the Christian faith. Islam is based on the Koran while the Christian faith is based only on the Bible and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ the son of God on the cross for our sin and His resurrection and second coming.
There are countless examples of countries being overtaken or infiltrated by radical Islam and forcing moderate Muslims to join them. There are also non aggressive means of infiltrating. The West has not understood that its easier for Islam to infiltrate through mass immigration, and through vying for positions in local councils and Parliament or key positions in Society (eg Mayor of New York).
Another way is for new migrants or citizens to push for ‘Sharia Law’ to be introduced in each country they aim to infiltrate or take over.
One problem for the UK and the West is that our Western mind, as a rule, has no real understanding of these forms of legislation and so the danger of it is not seen. The Sharia law in Iran (a Shiite nation) must be obeyed by all people within the country which means Christians have few if any freedoms and it will mean death and prison if they are perceived to be disobeying. In Australia this would mean our Constitution based on Judeo Christin values would be ignored and replaced by new Islamic laws (The UK already has some electorates under Sharia law)
Overall, Sharia Law “dictates the nation’s constitution, penal codes, and personal status laws, directly enforced by an unelected clergy and the judiciary to oversee both government functions and daily public life…Sharia law is the moral, religious, and legal code of Islam. Derived from the Quran (the holy book of Islam) and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, it acts as a guide for daily life. It covers everything from personal rituals—like prayer and charity—to family life, business, and criminal justice…The Islamic Sharia law is the basis of family, marriage and women’s rights in Iran. As an example, the law permitted men to have four permanent and as many temporary wives as they wanted. Custody of children was in the hands of the father and after his death, in the hands of the male relatives on the father’s side.”
(Ref Wikipedia and Google).
In theory, Sharia law classifies Christians as ‘dhimmis’ (“protected people”) and “People of the Book,” affording them specific rights alongside restrictions, in exchange for their political submission and the payment of a special tax but in reality, many of the Christians in Iran have been hunted down, jailed, raped and those who were injured in protests who were beaten were later killed after they sought medical help in hospitals.
None of the above Islamic laws, values or actions add up to following Christ and the Bible or ‘the narrow way.’ The Christian faith is not to be forced on others and there are scriptures clearly saying Christians are to pray for and love their enemies as Jesus did on the cross (the Christin values are the opposite of radical Islam). For this reason, we can’t agree with King Charles’ conclusion that all faiths are the same and to be defended.
