Future King: Charles
Prince Charles risked provoking a new political and religious storm yesterday when he said Muslims living in the UK should follow British values.
In a staunch defence of Britain's 'Christian standpoint,' he denounced the radicalisation of young Britons by Islamic fanatics and said they should show more respect to 'the values we hold dear'.
People who had 'come here, were born here or go to school here' should 'abide by our values,' he said. His comments were made as he started a six-day tour of the Middle East, seen as another stage in assuming more of the Queen's international duties.
It is a clear response to critics who say he should not meddle in sensitive political matters. The Prince will also challenge Arab leaders head-on during the trip. The Mail on Sunday can disclose that he is to tell new Saudi king Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud to his face that he should stop the 1,000 lashes handed down as punishment to Saudi blogger Raif Badawi for comments which the regime claimed were critical of Islam.

Comments by Prince Charles can be seen as an attack on multiculturalism which has led to ghettoisation in British society
Prince Charles last night called for a halt to the persecution of Christians by Islamic State and other militant Islamic groups, telling them bluntly: 'We were in the Middle East before you.'
And he killed off speculation that when he becomes King he will give up the Monarch's traditional 'defender of the faith' role in favour of a multicultural 'defender of faiths' title.
His renewed 'defender of the faith' pledge will be seen by some as a U-turn and a signal that the Monarch's role as the head of the Church of England is far from over.
The Prince's intervention comes hard on the heels of a new book which claims the Queen is worried that her heir plans to be an 'activist king'. The Prince's comments on Islam and Christianity are broadcast in an interview with BBC Radio 2's The Sunday Hour this morning, suggesting he plans to be very active.
'The radicalisation of people in Britain is a great worry, and the extent to which this is happening is alarming, particularly in a country like ours where we hold values dear,' he says. 'You would think the people who have come here, or are born here, and go to school here, would abide by those values and outlooks.'
It was 'frightening' that young British Muslims were radicalised by 'crazy stuff on the internet'.
Charles will reinforce his tough stance on Islamic extremism by telling the new Saudi king to show clemency to Saudi blogger Badawi.
His sentence of 1,000 lashes and ten years in jail over his website which encouraged Saudis to criticise Islam and their rulers has caused international outrage.
Diplomatic sources say that Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud may pay more attention to Charles, a fellow royal, than a foreign political leader.

Close links: Prince Charles is expected to use historic ties between the Houses of Windsor and Saud concerning the jailed blogger
The Prince last night touched down in Jordan, where he will meet Jordanian King Abdullah II, before travelling on to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
Charles also intends to use his Middle East tour to call for an end to attempts to drive Christians out of the region. IS terrorists slaughtered thousands of Yazidis and Christians in Northern Iraq, and Christians are also threatened in other Muslim countries.
If nothing was done, the time could soon come when 'there are no Christians left in the Middle East… they are intimidated to a degree you can't believe,' the Prince said.
He rammed home his point in uncharacteristically plain terms: 'The tragedy is even greater because Christians have been in the Middle East for 2,000 years, before Islam came in the 8th Century.'
As time goes on and the more I hear, the more and more I like Prince Charles.
Whilst the Queen has been a good monarch, there's little doubt that after she's gone her period will be known as one of decline and there's no escaping the fact she'll be remembered as the monarch who lost the Empire - although in many years after her demise we'll have a better picture as to how much she warned or didn't warn her foolish politicians at the time against their stupidity of the last half a century.
Prince Charles on the other hand, whilst he'll be constrained when King, seems to take a more active role (from what we know) and tbh he's pretty much spot on when it comes to agriculture, architecture, environment (except AGM) and now this latest warning which is essentially softly attacking the notion of multiculturalism which is simply ghettoisation. A transcript of part of his interview can be read via http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2944292/My-fears-intimidation-Christians-Middle-East-HRH-Prince-Wales.html .... Ideas take time to die and there's no doubt across Europe nations are waking up to the results of mass immigration, ghettoisation and radicalisation.
And it's also good to see he's taking the Defender of the Faith seriously rather than making plans to open it up to others faiths and religions when he is crowned King as was previously rumoured. The fact is that this is a Christian country and there should be no mollycoddling or changing the ancient Christian coronation ceremony in order to please minorities. That would have cost him a lot of support, including my own, if he had tried it.
