'Although it’s not unusual that a tolerant monarch would be polite and respectful about all the faiths practiced in their country, the new King has gone much further than that in an era of all-too-common Islamophobia,' writes hahellyer

H.A. Hellyer, a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in DC, is senior associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London and fellow at the University of Cambridge. Follow him on Twitter @hahellyers King Charles III assumes the British throne, the focus for many will be on the political symbolism that the monarch holds, lacking as he is in executive power.

King Charles III sits next to Jordan's Prince Ghazi as he addresses religious figures of Jordan's Muslim and Christian community during his visit to the King Hussein mosque on the second day of the royal visit to the country on March 12, 2013, in Amman, Jordan.

That interest is also clear in his views about Muslim communities of the past, and their contributions to Western civilization. In that 1993 Oxonian, he noted, “Córdoba in the 10th century was by far the most civilised city of Europe,” referring to the Spanish city then under Muslim rule.

Much of this is unusual from public figures in British, European, and Western public life. But Charles is more atypical in one further way—his insistence that Islam, as a religion, has something to offer the West today. In one speech, he noted, “Islam can teach us today a way of understanding and living in the world which Christianity itself is the poorer for having lost. At the heart of Islam is its preservation of an integral view of the Universe.

hahellyer One big failing is tolerating religions. They should all be consigned to history. They are delusional and divisive.

hahellyer Islamophobia? Report rather on the persecution and killings of Christians and other minorities in Muslim lands, and over 7000 were killed in Nigeria alone this year not to mention many other regions.

hahellyer God bless you king

hahellyer 'Rock the Casbah'

hahellyer It's appalling for someone who's head of the Church of England where they profess Christianity as the only true few.There is a lot of Islamic countries that have totally barbaric laws and repression in the name of Islam.

hahellyer The war became so violent and terrifying that neither were the Muslims able to fight back.Nor did anyone dare to come to their help.MuhammadQasimDreams

hahellyer You know there is a difference between being Islamophobic and condemning the most barbaric aspects of extremists adhering to Sharia Law. Criticizing executions of gays for being gay and condemning hanging people for blasphemy is not being Islamophobic. Or is that over your head?

hahellyer There will be NO moral authority in his reign if that is the case. It will be like whichever cathedral had a Sikh in the choir!! Thou shall have NO foreign gods
