Prince of Wales' speech to Chaldean church in London: jihadists' online beheading videos could take us back to dark ages

The Prince of Wales made another visit to an Eastern congregation whose members have fled persecution that has intensified in recent years. Speaking to mainly Iraqi Chaldean Catholics gathered in Acton, west London, he warned that the availability online of footage of executions by jihadists could take “this so so-called modern age” “into the dark ages”. The prince listened to the experiences of congregation members who had fled violence and death threats, and attended a service where the former head of the Chaldean Mission to the UK, Archbishop Habib Jajou, read out a message for the prince from the Baghdad-based Patriarch Louis Sako. The event followed visits to Coptic, Syrian Orthodox and Armenian churches. More Prince of Wales fears return to dark
