Jared Keller Jun 11, 2010
"The inconvenient truth is that we share this planet with the rest of creation for a very good reason - and that is, we cannot exist on our own without the intricately balanced web of life around us...Islam has always taught this and to ignore that lesson is to default on our contract with creation."

-- Prince Charles, urging an audience of students and scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies to "follow the Islamic way to save the world"
