Prince Charles has been having Arabic lessons so he can read the Koran
Prince Charles reveals he's been having Arabic lessons for six months so he can read the Koran. He has long been fascinated by Islam and the culture of the Middle East. Now it has emerged that the Prince of Wales is having lessons in Arabic.

The Prince told guests at a reception in Qatar today that the language 'goes in one ear and out the other'. But an aide revealed that he is so keen to learn it that he has been having private tuition for more than six months.

Being able to read Arabic would enable the Prince, who is passionate about encouraging dialogue between different religions, to read the Koran in its original form. It would also mean he could decipher Arabic script during visits to mosques and museums of Islamic art.

Makes perfect sense that God would speak to humanity in a language that is only spoken by 295 million people...

You may be right. It's not just the koran, Charles thinks Islam's superior and that the West should learn from it. Bear in mind that this is the future King of England.

On Friday, December 13th, at Wilton Park, the Prince of Wales explained how the Muslim critique of materialism helped him to rediscover the sacred spirituality of Islam and explain the decline of the West. "I start from the belief that Islamic civilization at its best... has an important message for the West in the way it has retained an integrated and integral view of the sanctity of the world around us. I feel that we in the West could be helped to rediscover the roots of our own understanding by an appreciation of the Islamic tradition's deep respect for the timeless traditions of the natural order. It could also help us in the West to rethink, and for the better, our practical stewardship of man and his environment in fields such as health-care, the natural environment and agriculture, as well as in architecture and urban planning.

it always helps to know exactly what your enemy thinks... instead of waiting for translation ... which could be twisted to fit the translator state of mind just like they do with the bible.

Come on...Britain does not have the reputation for being the sly Fox or perfidious Albion for no reason..

I suspect Charles is just learning the language so that he can understand the comments being made while he is around..

Re: Prince Charles has been having Arabic lessons so he can read the Koran
Charles is deeply respected in both Jewish and Islamic circles. He has traveled extensively in the Middle East region and gained recognition as a diplomat, peacemaker, philosopher and even a mystic of sorts.

His steering committees are very influential and help third-world populations as well as the starving & needy in the Middle East.

Charles is refining his Arabic because when he enters Jerusalem (and the temple) he will need the blessing of both Arabs and Jews. He's already very influential with the Jews. He must also speak to the Arabs in their tongue. I don't doubt he's learning various dialects of the language.

There is more to Charles Windsor than meets the eye.

Much more.

Indeed there is. He puts his money where his mouth is. He is always willing to learn from others. He is a very good man. Much misunderstood by those who only read the media reports.

how many people can speak Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek all together today?

What you read in your bible is just a translation which can be inaccurate sometimes. If you want to learn the bible as it is, you will have to learn three languages, unlike the Quran.

There are translations of the Quran to most of the known languages, but as I said, the translation may not be very accurate sometimes.

The royal line leads to Mohammed. Not certain that his line is really the royal line since they were only 3rd cousins but somehow they snatched the throne.

They now are called Windsor, which they are really Hapsburg
