Not that this has anything to do with Islam.
"Terror target Harry arrives back in Britain as Al Qaeda threatens to take revenge for 'royal aggression against Muslims,'" from the Daily Mail (thanks to Sr. Soph):
Prince Harry arrived back in Britain this morning after having been warned that serving in Afghanistan made him a prime target for terrorists.Muslim extremists say the young royal is a "legitimate target" after ten weeks secretly fighting the Taliban.
[...]
Two Al Qaeda-affiliated websites are calling on jihadists to "slaughter" the third in line to the throne.
[...]
Concerns about Harry's safety were deepened when firebrand preacher Anjem Choudhary, of the extremist Al Muhajiroun group, accused him of endorsing an "illegal war".
He said: "I think it is inevitable that anyone who engages in these activities is going to draw attention to themselves. He will be seen as part of the enemy and so he is a target.
"For Harry to participate has absolutely no justification. For people to say he is being brave and doing his job is simply wrong.
"Many wiser and braver men have decided not to participate and have objected and demonstrated against these wars. They should be the ones declared as heroes."
Hate preacher Omar Bakri, now in Lebanon, said: "Harry should condemn the fact that British forces are in a strange land fighting strange people who speak a different language."
But many worshippers arriving for Friday prayers at London's Regent's Park mosque praised the prince.
Accountant Adham Adam, 42, said: "I am against the war and Britain going there but Prince Harry is just doing his duty.
"I hope extremists will not target him because they don't have the right. I don't believe in extremist Islam. They are not doing good things for Muslim Brits."
Sheriff Folami, 65, said: "It shows he is an honourable person. It shows he is a true prince." Hussein Elazghal, 74, echoed the sentiment, adding: "It is very courageous that he is doing his duty. He is a British citizen and he is doing his service."
Hotel manager Nesar Siddiqui, however, said: 2I would be more comfortable if Harry wasn't there. There were legitimate reasons to go to Bosnia, but in Afghanistan there are not those reasons."
Catherine Heseltine of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee warned that many might find Harry's "glorification" of war offensive. She said: "It is not the way to talk about a war where so many Muslims have lost their lives - men, women and children, innocent civilians. It is not an adventure, it is not exciting."...
"Harry should condemn the fact that British forces are in a strange land fighting strange people who speak a different language."
How about Muslims condemn the fact that Muslim forces from the beginning of their existence entered strange lands and fought strange people who spoke a different language?
Why did they fight? For booty or for a fast track to heaven. There is no culture that can match Islam when it comes to imperialism and colonization and the destruction of all that went before.
None of this is sought by those fighting the killers in Afghanistan. Stay safe, Harry.
Our old friend Bunglewallah, Mr Bean's malevolent Islamist twin, couldn't resist getting in on the act either.

So the jihadists are saying, "Thank Allah for Drudge."
The UK media has been patting themselves on the back for keeping this story out of the news as longs as they did (some eight months) and they say harry served around 10 weeks in Helmond province. UK authorities say story was actually first broken in Australia in late january but for some reason it did not gain any legs until Matt Drudge picked it up.
The very moment I heard this story, I said; they need to get Harry out of there because he will now become a target.
Fox had some guy on Oreilley last night who thought Prince Harry was a fair media target and he could see no reason why Harry should be removed from the front line, fortunately Laura Ingraham who was sitting in for Oreilly straightened this duumkof out.
I'd love to know how many Muslims exiting Friday prayers they had to ask til they finally found a couple that weren't spitting and seething with rage to get those comments from the article above... Cause, we all know how PEACEFUL Friday prayers are.
"There were legitimate reasons to go to Bosnia, but in Afghanistan there are not those reasons."
What were the legitimate reasons? We were fighting the Christians on the side of the Muslims? Oh. I'm sorry I mean "ethnic" Albanians.
if Al Qaeda thinks that things have gotten hot for them before. They just made the biggest blunder of their misbegotten life in the British Commonwealth. The royal family is sacred and the last thing you do is threaten one of the Royals. If one of them is killed by Muslim terrorists. There will not be a safe place anywhere in the British Commonwealth, for any loudmouth Muslim radical and don't forget, the entire British Commonwealth armed forces is about twice the size of the current United States Armed Forces with some of the most elite units in the world. I.e. the Gurkhas and the Scottish Highland regiments, along with the SAS and other assorted units
1. Drudge is so full of himself that he can't think of the safety of others. Of course, he has brown eyes because he is so full of "it."
2. For Mackie, duumkof, at least in German, is spelled dumbkopf.
3. Freedom of speech says I have the right to offend you so long as I don't threaten you or anyone else with physical harm. "Psychic" harm doesn't count, so you, therefore, have no "right" to be offended.
I'd like to see the reaction of the "Ummah" to a statute of Mo in a bottle of piss. Or, alternatively, we could use a copy of Westergaard's cartoon of Mo with a bomb in his turban. Bet that would upset a few people!
Now they are against killing innocent people? What's that saying about the pot and the kettle? Oh, I forgot, the 9/11 victims weren't innocent. In fact they're not even dead according to some.
Hate preacher Omar Bakri, now in Lebanon, said: "Harry should condemn the fact that British forces are in a strange land fighting strange people who speak a different language."
No, he should condemn strange people coming to his country to destabilize it with their insistence on strange and primitive customs and his even stranger fellow citizens who think that is a good idea.
Kill a royal,
even they are not that stupid, instead of a park full of dead flowers (after Diana) there would be streets full of dead muslims.
They know this.
Catherine Heseltine of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee warned that many might find Harry's "glorification" of war offensive. She said: "It is not the way to talk about a war where so many Muslims have lost their lives - men, women and children, innocent civilians. It is not an adventure, it is not exciting."...
Now, who has killed the vast majority of those innocent civilians? The Taliban and Al Qaeda. Oops. The number one killer of Muslims in the history of Islam is.............(drum roll, please).....other Muslims.
Would it not meet be, were the the bucktooth Charles his end untimely meet, from some gift-horse Arabian fall upon the rump that is his head -- thence in some our future time to a Head seemlier to translate immediate his Crown?

Princely in both.

King Harry V:
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here...

Perish the man whose mind is backward now!
Good for Harry.
And we are buying into this foolish islamic blackmail even here at home.
The big zero, Obama, has muslim written all over him, and we are not critizising him or even questioning him and his campaign about it.
His name is muslim (Hussein - the grandson of Mohammed),
he is photographed in 2006 wearing the uniform muslim dress of our enemies.
He has served on boards with islamics supporting jihad.
Wake up America.
doglover that would not be possible according to what the BC is capable of unfortunately.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations
while the killing of Harry would certainly provoke a much harder response from Britain, it would still be a UK effort, not a collaborative action by the member states of the BC.
Given that Harry is training as a soldier it only stands to reason that he should be doing his tour of duty like everyone else.
For him as a soldier, or for that matter, as a British royal, to be expected to be a conscientious objector is living in fantasy land.
Ok, no back to watching Lawrence of Arabia to see how King Feisal handles this.
It would be far worse for him to have been captured, rather than killed. Once it was known he was in Afghanistan, it was a wise thing to take him out...
As the Brits have taken so much flak for not resisting their domestic Moslems efforts to Islamicize the UK and dhimmifying its non-Moslem population, the Prince's service in Afhanistan against the Moslem Taliban is to be commended.
Attention can also be directed to a picturesque contribution by the UK to the coalition's war effort in Iraq:
A BAYONET CHARGE IN IRAQ - Bayonet Brits kill 35
Prince Harry Had a taste of a conflict that will serve England well in the future.
How could any Prince not get excited about helping conduct JDAM Services?
It wasn't Drudge who "outed" the royal prince, it was some Australian women's magazine who did it back in January. Drudge does not get off the hook on this, as it opportunistically ran with the information. Who gave this Australian mag the information? Now that is THE question of import. The secondary issue, which happens to be put at the forefront of our attention with mind-numbing regularity now, is the lack of journalistic ethics and discretion when it comes to our war against the jihadi savages. We just can't keep secrets the way the enemy can. It will be our undoing.
Now the royals, Harry, and his unit members who return to Britain will be targets of these savages. People may well die because of this, which is why I hate all leakers and why they should be exposed and punished in the harshest ways.
"It is not the way to talk about a war where so many Muslims have lost their lives - men, women and children, innocent civilians. It is not an adventure, it is not exciting."...
Is that why muslim jihadists from all over the planet pack up and volunteer for duty in Afghanistan and Iraq? They come from everywhere to get in on the action, to help their muslim brothers kill the infidels. War was exciting to them, as well as to thousands of British muslims that have gone and fought in these wars, killed British and American soldiers, then returned to Britain to recruit new jihadists. I hope Harry blew dozens of them to kingdom come and savored the experience.
It infuriates me to hear muslims lament the loss of muslim lives, like muslims are the only people worthy of living. If they are so damned worried about dead muslims, they should stop killing each other and stop igniting wars. When a gang of rabid muslims annihilate six thousand people in an American city, the umma should expect retaliation. It's not exiting and it's not an adventure; it is revenge.
I respect Harry for going to Afghanistan and having the courage to fight on the front lines. It's a shame the press had to put a target on his back, but the press is shameless. I heard him tell an interviewer that his military experience was probably his only chance to live like a normal person. He seemed so sincere about it and said he wouldn't go to Afghanistan to be an office clerk; he wanted a piece of the action. Too bad they ruined it for him.
Dear Harry,
Thank you for your brave service. You did your mother proud. We love you, and pray for your safety.
I doubt that 23 days in Afghanistan is enough to teach Prince Harry all he needs to know about Islam, but given his valor, it's a pity that there are 3 people between him and the throne.
Hopefully, he'll get more secret missions which might give him the opportuniy to have to learn about Islam as a result of confronting Muslims in forced situations (as opposed to life in Buckingham palace insulated from the reality of Londonistan and the Islamic Kingdom)
It isn't fair that the prince be a target.
Spot on, Susanp!

That just about nails it. And yes, they do believe only Muslims matter, but only if they're killed by the kuffar.
Remember: Infidels are the vilest of creatures, along with 'killing unbelievers is a small matter to us'- but the ends justify the means, they do whatever it takes to make the world Islamic.

Mr. Magnoon:
The West will pay a karmic price for supporting the rise of an Islamic entity in the heart of Europe. The failed attack on Ft. Dix New Jersey by an Albanian brought to Dix as a 19 year old refuge by our military was just a preview. I can not say it enough though I get so much flack it, “kindness is not only wasted on Muslims, but it exposes innocent infidels to harm… It is indeed criminal.”
