Isn't it about time Charles spoke up for his co-religionists?

It's all very well for Prince Charles to be concerned about Islamaphobia, but it might have been more appropriate for him to use his visit to Egypt as an opportunity to highlight the treatment of Christians around the Islamic world. No doubt it wouldn't have gone down very well. But it would have provoked a debate that many in the West would rather avoid.

How about Saudi Arabia where Christians aren't allowed to practice their own faith? Or Pakistan where Churches have been firebombed? Or even Afghanistan, which is free from the Taliban, but where a man was sentenced to death for converting to Christianity?

Prince Charles once said that he would like to be the defender of all faiths. Well maybe he should make a start by defending his own!
