King Charles ‘might be a Muslim’, says former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani
During a recent interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani claimed that the current monarch of England could potentially be a Muslim. He also asserted that Muslims in Britain are seeking to dominate the country, labeling the Quran as a “cult of death.”
“I have people from England telling me you’re gonna be a Muslim country in 10 years,” Giuliani said to Morgan.
Giuliani expressed this view while supporting the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. He argued that the Roman Catholic Church has grown to surpass the Anglican Church in England today, suggesting that King Charles III might one day become the Muslim ruler of the nation.
The idea that the king is secretly Muslim is a widely circulated online theory. However, Charles, who leads the Church of England, has long been recognized as a passionate advocate for Islam. He even studied Arabic to engage with the Quran directly.
“The guiding principle and spirit of Islamic law, taken straight from the Quran, should be those of equity and compassion,” Charles remarked in a 1993 speech as the Prince of Wales.
In contrast to Giuliani’s claims, Charles praised Britain’s Muslim communities as a “cultural asset,” emphasizing their contributions to national identity. He highlighted historical Islamic advancements, such as women’s rights to property and inheritance established over a millennium ago, and criticized Western misunderstandings of Islamic heritage.
Giuliani, however, dismissed sharia law as having “no legal standing in the UK,” according to Morgan. He countered that “in different parts of England, it actually dominates,” citing the presence of 85 sharia councils—unofficial groups without formal legal authority.
“Sharia law is a cult of death. And the Quran is a cult of death,” Giuliani declared.
The former mayor also criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, stating that he “seems to be very, very affected by [Muslims] politically. He seems to want to make them happy, make them contented and certainly he doesn’t seem to be trying to make them English.”
Giuliani further claimed that Muslim communities resist assimilation, prioritizing immigration while adhering to Islamic teachings. He suggested that “they just do the immigration part. Immigration and then follow Muhammad. What did Muhammad tell them to do? Take over.”
Charles, meanwhile, has consistently emphasized the compatibility of Islam with British values. In a 2006 speech, he noted that “if [Traditionalists] defend the past, it is because in the pre-modern world, all civilisations were marked by the presence of the sacred.”
Though Charles’s stance on the US-Israeli war with Iran remains unclear, he is known to have privately opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His engagement with Islam is often linked to Traditionalism, a 20th-century ideology that seeks to revive religious and cultural roots in modern society.
