To Dhimmi no More

No, I don't read Arabic, but as a Chinese-English translator, I know that translation is possible.

And as a Christian who emphatically does NOT believe the Qur'an, I believe that "spiritual" can be either following the Holy Spirit of God or evil spirits or the mystical yearnings of the human heart.

Also, I am aware that Arabic-speaking peoples constitute at best 10% of the 'Umma.

I simply believe that in Charles Windsor's case, we have someone impressed with people who actually affirm what they're supposed to believe, while his own church is nothing but an empty shell at this point, having discarded the historic Protestant Christian faith bit by bit over the 19th and 20th centuries. I may be right, I may be wrong, but that's my take on Charles Windsor and Islam.
