Rudy Giuliani Claims King Charles III is a Secret Muslim
Former New York City Mayor and personal lawyer to US President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, stated that the King of England might be a Muslim. Muslims, he continued, want to take over England. He referred to the Quran as a death cult.
Giuliani made these statements in an interview on British journalist Piers Morgan’s YouTube show on Monday (30/3), while arguing in support of the US-Israel war against Iran.
“I have heard from people in England that England will become a Muslim country in 10 years,” he told Morgan.
He said that the Roman Catholic Church is now larger in England than the Anglican Church. “And Charles III might be the Muslim King of England,” he said.
The idea that the king is secretly a Muslim is a popular online conspiracy theory.
Charles, the head of the Church of England, is known as a great admirer of Islam and even studied Arabic to read the Quran.
Charles has previously argued that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are three major monotheistic religions that have more in common than is generally understood.
Giuliani told Morgan that Muslims in England are taking over and that they want to take over, and that is their goal. Iran was accused of being the driving force behind it. “If the Islamic Republic of Iran is removed, everything will move in the opposite direction.”
In contrast, Charles has previously described the Muslim community in England as an asset to England that adds to the cultural wealth of our nation.
When Morgan said that only five percent of England’s population is Muslim, Giuliani replied, “It doesn’t matter. They have extraordinary power. How many mayoral positions do they hold? A lot.”
There are several elected mayors in England who are Muslim, including the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.
“I was in London about a year and a half ago. It seemed to me there were so many women wearing veils that I had never seen before,” Giuliani told Morgan.
“There is a debate about whether Sharia law should be respected. Of course it should not be respected. Sharia law is a death cult. And the Quran is a death cult.”
The King does not agree with Giuliani’s opinion. Speaking as Prince of Wales in a now-famous 1993 speech, Charles argued, “The main principles and spirit of Islamic law, taken directly from the Quran, should be justice and compassion.”
He noted that women were given rights to property and inheritance in Islam 1,400 years ago, paying tribute to the extraordinary tolerance of medieval Islam. He regretted Western ignorance about their cultural and civilisational debts to the Islamic world.
When Morgan said that Sharia law has no legal standing in England, Giuliani replied, “Not according to many reports I have read. In various parts of England, Sharia law actually dominates.”
There are 85 Sharia councils in England, which are unofficial bodies without legal standing or enforcement powers.
Giuliani further claimed that the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, “Seems very, very influenced by (Muslims) politically. He seems to want to make them happy, make them satisfied, and of course he seems not to be trying to make them British.”
“(Muslims) are against immigration and assimilation. They only do the immigration part. Immigration and then follow Muhammad. What did Muhammad tell them? To take over,” he added.
Charles said in 1993 that British Muslims should, “Balance their vital freedom to be themselves with an appreciation of the importance of integration in our society.”
In stark contrast to the views held by Giuliani, Charles stated that Islam is, “Part of our past and present, in all fields of human endeavour. Islam has helped shape the modern Europe. Islam is part of our own heritage, not something separate.”
The King is known as a devout Anglican. His deep engagement with Islam is related to his interest in Traditionalism, a 20th-century esoteric school of thought whose early proponents opposed the modern world, believing that all major religions hold universal truths that can serve as a remedy for contemporary problems.
“If (traditionalists) defend the past,” Charles said in a 2006 speech, “It is because in the pre-modern world, all civilisations were marked by the presence of the sacred.”
The king’s views on the US-Israel war in Iran are unknown, but it has been widely reported that he personally opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. (MEE/I-2)
