Prince Charles Will Urge Bush To Appreciate Islam More

Tomorrow, Britain's Prince Charles leaves for an 8 day tour of the United States. Over the weekend, the London Telegraph reported that an important part of his trip will be his attempt to persuade President George W. Bush, and Americans in general, to end America's confrontational approach to Muslim countries and to be more appreciative of the strengths of Islam. The Prince of Wales, who is about to embark on his first official foreign tour since his marriage to the Duchess of Cornwall, wants Americans to share his fondness for Islam. He has agreed to attend a seminar on religions at Georgetown University on Thursday. The seminar will look at how faith groups can alleviate social problems in their community.
