King Charles ‘might be a Muslim’, says former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani
Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who served as a personal attorney to former US president Donald Trump, recently suggested that King Charles III could be a Muslim. During a conversation with British journalist Piers Morgan on his YouTube channel, Giuliani expressed concerns about the influence of Muslims in the UK, claiming they aim to take control of the nation. He further described the Quran as a “cult of death.”
Giuliani’s Claims and the Royal Conspiracy
In the interview, Giuliani highlighted that “people from England” have told him the UK could become a Muslim country within a decade. He stated, “The Roman Catholic Church has grown larger than the Anglican Church in England. And Charles III might be the Muslim monarch of England.” This idea aligns with a widespread online theory suggesting the monarch secretly adheres to Islam.
“I have people from England telling me you’re gonna be a Muslim country in 10 years,” Giuliani remarked.
Charles, however, is recognized as a devoted Anglican and has long praised Islam. He even learned Arabic to engage more deeply with the Quran. Previously, he asserted that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity share significant commonalities, emphasizing their unity as monotheistic faiths.
Contrasting Views on British Muslims
Giuliani argued that Britain’s Muslim communities are “taking over” and that their goal is to dominate culturally and politically. He linked this to the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, stating, “Iran is the fuel behind that. You take out the Islamic Republic of Iran, the whole thing moves in the other direction.”
“Muslims in Britain are contrary to immigration and assimilation. They just do the immigration part. Immigration and then follow Muhammad. What did Muhammad tell them to do? Take over,” Giuliani added.
Charles, on the other hand, viewed British Muslims as an “asset to Britain,” noting they contribute to the country’s cultural diversity. He stated, “British Muslims must balance their vital liberty to be themselves with an appreciation of the importance of integration in our society.”
Sharia Law and the King’s Stance
When Morgan pointed out that only 5% of the UK population identifies as Muslim, Giuliani dismissed the statistic, insisting that the group holds considerable influence. He cited the presence of several Muslim mayors, such as London’s Sadiq Khan, as evidence of their growing political clout.
“Sharia law is a cult of death. And the Quran is a cult of death,” Giuliani declared.
Yet Charles defended Islamic law in a 1993 speech, describing its principles as rooted in equity and compassion. He highlighted the historical role of Islam in granting women property rights centuries ago and praised its tolerance during medieval times. The king also criticized Western ignorance of Islamic contributions to civilization.
Traditionalism and the Royal Legacy
Giuliani’s views on Islam contrast sharply with Charles’s alignment with Traditionalism, an esoteric 20th-century philosophy that emphasizes universal truths across religions. In a 2006 speech, Charles noted, “If [Traditionalists] defend the past, it is because in the pre-modern world, all civilisations were marked by the presence of the sacred.”
While Charles’s position on the US-Israeli war on Iran remains unspecified, he has been reported to oppose the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His admiration for Islam continues to reflect a nuanced perspective, distinct from Giuliani’s more confrontational stance.
