Outspoken: Prince Charles speaks to Islamic studies scholars at Oxford. He argued that man's destruction of the world was particularly contrary to Islam

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic ‘spiritual principles’ in order to protect the environment.

In an hour-long speech, the heir to the throne argued that man’s destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions – but particularly those of Islam.

He said the current ‘division’ between man and nature had been caused not just by industrialisation, but also by our attitude to the environment – which goes against the grain of ‘sacred traditions’.

Charles, who is a practising Christian and will become the head of the Church of England when he succeeds to the throne, spoke in depth about his own study of the Koran which, he said, tells its followers that there is ‘no separation between man and nature’ and says we must always live within our environment’s limits.

The prince was speaking to an audience of scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies – which attempts to encourage a better understanding of the culture and civilisation of the religion.

His speech, merging religion with his other favourite subject, the environment, marked the 25th anniversary of the organisation, of which he is patron.

He added: ‘The inconvenient truth is that we share this planet with the rest of creation for a very good reason – and that is, we cannot exist on our own without the intricately balanced web of life around us.

‘Islam has always taught this and to ignore that lesson is to default on our contract with creation.’

  1. These speeches given by royalty tend to be very surface-level and fluffy. Sure, respect for all religious perspectives and the environment is key, yet, how deep is this speech getting at the issues. I’d be curious to hear/watch Prince Charles on this with a recording/video.

  2. I don’t know what he is going on about but he should be worried about his two sons william and harry being positively identified snorting cocaine at a night club in London

  5. Prince Charles is either demented not knowing what he is talking about or he is in the pocket of the Muslims. Either way this guy is very dangerous because of his influence. He is one of the reasons why the UK is where they are. In a decade or two, England will be Muslim and the Muslims will cut his head off if he is still alive. He is for the Muslims what the ‘useful idiots’ were for Lenin and the Bolsheviks (or I might say he is part of the ‘fifth column’).
