Prince Charles of Wales will explain the virtues of Islam to the US President, George W. Bush, and the American people this week.
According to British daily Sunday Telegraph, Prince Charles thinks the United States has been too "intolerant" of Islam since 11 September 2001.
During his eight-day visit, Prince Charles will try to convince Bush about the merits of Islam and attend some conferences on religions at various platforms.
The Prince of Wales had expressed his concerns earlier regarding Washington's "confrontational" approach to Muslim countries and its failure to understand the strength of Islam.
He came together with senior Muslims in London following the September 11 attacks and said, "I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational."
According to one of his aides speaking to the newspaper, the Prince had never extended a political message in terms of the religion and only requests different religions to understand each other and be tolerant of each other in order to allow good relations to develop among religions.
