The White House, the Capitol Building, the Pentagon, the British Parliament, George W. Bush, Tony Blair…all of these buildings and figures targeted for attack by Al-Qaeda seem to make some sort of strategic sense. But Her Majesty? From the AP:
Al-Qaida has named Queen Elizabeth II "one of the severest enemies of Islam," the Sunday Times newspaper reported, citing a video message allegedly obtained by Britain's security service.Government officials were not immediately available Saturday night to confirm the report. A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman refused comment, saying it was a matter for the police.
In the video, Ayman al-Zawahiri, a leading lieutenant of Osama bin Laden, says the queen is responsible for what he terms Britain's "crusader laws" and calls her an enemy of Muslims, the paper said.
No doubt Prince Charles is currently en route to Pakistan in order to plead his mother’s case before the court of Bin Laden.

"No doubt Prince Charles is currently en route to Pakistan in order to plead his mother’s case before the court of Bin Laden."
Ha ha ha. Good one. Charles must be really confused now...even after preaching to the World's superpower (USA) how 'good' Islam is, why this attack on my great-great-...grandmum ? Not fair....sob sob sob.

Prince Charles preaches the "gospel of islam".
You just can't please them.

I guess they think they should hate the Queen for being "Defender of the Faith" i.e. the Anglican Church, but Elizabeth II has been very accepting and supporting of Islam.
I think it must be a part of the Muslim psyche to hate the infidels who sympathize with Islam more than those who resist Islam.
Prince Charles deserves this backhand for being such a dummy about Islam.

I once read that Charles often dresses in Muslim garb in the privacy of his home (there was a photo accompanying the article of Charles dressed as a Muslim at some inter-faith function)...that he reads the Quran "religiously"...and that he's in constant touch with the Saudi royal family over matters of faith, etc.
The article in question was an AP news dispatch, i.e., mainstream media. One wonders of its veracity.
If it is factual, one has to question whether or not Charles has crossed the line from Dhimmi to closet "revert."

Take her out... They have a Muslim king on the throne. If I was them, I would work at it. If I was the Brits, I would not allow such a Strawman to be my king.

God forbid that this happens to her Majesty and her runt rides the wave of public sympathy to the throne. I do not know the security around her. However, if Zawheri declares someone a target, they better write their last testament.

In his recent visit to the States, Charles did receive Holy Communion at an Episcopal Church in California. The event was covered by all the news services.

There is of course, an easy retort to this for those apologists on the left who will simply say that al-qaeda represents a distortion of the true teachings of the RoP.
Cornelius
You may want to take a read through the JW archives where there was a recent discussion and links to excellent articles on Charles and his religious leanings.

One must expect that Charles will go through the motions even -- or perhaps, expecially -- if he has reverted.

However, wouldn't even going through such motions as receiving the sacrament not make him a blasphemer or even an apostate of Islam, the penalty for which is well known.

I would think that receiving Holy Communion in an effort to hide his embrace of Islam would be a perfectly acceptable implementation of taqiyyah: feigning another religious belief so as to avoid persecution by the crusaders -- led by his dear mom.

Save the Queen...kill the Quran...
Oh no!!! Not the Queen! Is there nothing sacred to these people...oh yeah, the Quran. It's bad to flush a Quran, it's good to behead the Queen.
Someones priorities are really screwed up. There are lots of Qurans but only one Queen. Dont let Zarqawi kill the Queen. Protect the Queen with your own bodys if necessary. Give those palace guards some bullets. Put Tony and Charlie on guard at the palace gate...on second thought , dont do that...when it comes to protecting the Queen, no dhimmi's need apply...
at November 12, 2005 9:33 PM
Well I could go really far into tabloid territory here and speculate that al Queda believes that the Royal family was complicit in the death of Diana and Dodi Fayed because they didn't want Diana to marry a Muslim.
Just saying I COULD go there...(or not):-)

"...seem to make some sort of strategic sense. But Her Majesty?"
When has Al-Qaeda made any rational sense? Their only objective goal is to cause terror and grief. Killing the Queen would do just that.

Assassinating the Queen will not result in one batted eyelash from our PC Leftists and their fellow-travelers.
No matter what the Muslims do, it seems, no matter how many they mass-murder, our dominant PC Leftists will say it's not representative of the "true Islam", these are only a minority of "extremists".
Even after Muslims conquer the world and PC Leftists and their fellow-travelers are being herded into dhimmitude under a global Caliphate by Arab horsemen, they will continue to say it's not representative of the "true Islam", these are only a minority of "extremists".

World War 1 was started by just such an event. A royal (Archduke Ferdinand) and his wife killed by a Serbian assasin in Sarajevo. Was the murderer a muslim? His name was Gavrilo Princip but I have not found out much about him. Or his real reasons for his actions. Most history books have been rewritten to be politically correct so I have to wonder what the real reason was. What was his goal.
It has happened many times in the past we just don't think of those things as possible today. I'm sure they didn't think such a thing was possible then either, after all they only started having massive security in recent years.
And the queen's residential areas have been accessed several times recently by average people pulling stunts. They need to find out the allegiance of insiders, fast. Including Charles' manservant who has been indoctrinating him.

Now in which way does that differ from the often repeated statements about the RoP of Bush and Condi?

At this point I would be more worried about the pope. After all the previous pope barely survived a bullet by a muslim. And Italy have gotten lots of threats. Whatever happened to that guy? Whatever happened to that Croatian guy who slit the throat of a bus driver just a few months after 9/11. I never heard anything about it at all either. No mention about him being a muslim or not but it sure seemed like it. If he wasn't a muslim it would have been all over the papers.
How's France doing. Speaking of not being all over the news.
And how "restive" is Germany these days. Not much info coming from that sector either.

Maybe the Queen should take advice from her namesake.
"Let tyrants fear; I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects. And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honor and my blood, even the dust. I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too; and think foul scorn ...of any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realms." -Queen Elizabeth I
She should replace Prince of Europe with Jihadist and give that exact speech.

Not much. That would make Bush and Condi among the "fellow travelers" I mentioned who are under the domination of the PC nebula, itself created over the last couple of centuries (though only gaining dominance in recent decades) by Leftists.

Borg,
Gavrilo Princip was a Bosnian Serb. With the shrinking of the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe there arose disputes as to who should control the newly freed lands. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had annexed Bosnia whilst Serbia thought that it should belong to her instead.
Princip was not a Muslim. Too young to be executed, Princip was put in prison where he died during the First World War of a lung complain, probably TB.

The Queen is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The monarch must be in communion with the Church of England (i.e. a full, confirmed member) and, in his or her coronation oath, the monarch promises to maintain the Church.
This is why we regard Prince Charles' fascination with Islam with such concern and why I was so pleased when Lisa pointed me last week to the news report that he had been seen to receive Holy Communion in California. I expressed the opinion then that it would take bucket loads of taqyyia to receive the body and blood of the Lord while pretending not to be a Muslim. I don't think he is capable of it; he is too weak. (George Galloway is a different kettle of fish)
As Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and a Queen held in great affection throughout the Commonwealth and beyond I have always thought that she would be a prime target. More so than a politician.
Jade dragoness - Good work quoting Queen Elizabeth I facing the Armada. She made that speech in Tilbury, a town much changed, but an area I know well.

Perhaps the heir apparent has a deal with the Osama. If his mother dies, he is King. In return for a peace treaty recognizing the Caliphate, Charles as Dhimmi King of the Crusaders, will take his role as King of England, as King of all the Commonwealth countries. Perhaps the Caliphate has promised him certain parts of remaining Christian Europe. I am sure the Caliphate will happily recognize any claim Charles might assert to re-take the United States, re-establish his rule of India, etc. Why was Charles visiting the United States last week? If Charles agrees to pay the Jizha and has agreed to give Islam a special protected status as Defender of the Faith, his being upon the throne would be very desirable to Osama. Moslem leaders have been known to murder others to assure people the people they favor are on the throne. I read ridiculous kinds of conspiracy theories against the West daily in the press of Islamic countries. Perhaps I have been studying Islam to long to come up with this conspiracy story. Although before one rule out this wild speculation about Charles who may be afraid his mother will live longer than he, perhaps we should ask Lyndon LaRouche what he thinks.

Doesn't the queen descend from Mohammed (and Ghengis Khan and many other unlikely historical individuals)? Maybe that is why Charles is always kissing Muslim ass? Go figure...

Very true. The Golden Jubilee showed just how popular she is. The same can't be said of Charles. I've never for one minute bought the idea that he is a Muslim, but he is a useful idiot or Muslim enabler. He's looking pretty clapped out though, so I wouldn't be surprised if William were to be the next king.
at November 13, 2005 8:04 AM
The Queen (through Cedric, earliest saxon King about whom anything much is known who predated Mohammed by 40 odd years.) descends from Odin or Wotan as he is sometimes called. A far superior pagan deity, in my opinion.

Granny W, touch of deja vu, but do you remember in '1066 and All That' we were told that the Vikings worshipped some dreadful gods called Monday, Tuesday etc?
By the way, I'd highly recommend Craig Brown's '1966 and All That', which I've now read.

the rest of the article goes on to explain that the jihadists are also threatening moderate immans and muslim groups in the UK which criticise islamic jihadists.
"In a possible reference to the role of the Muslim Council of Britain, which had issued instructions to mosques to inform on potential terrorists, he criticised “those who issue fatwas, according to the school of thought of the head of the Church of England”."
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1869849,00.html
i say each time they threaten the west, every new outrage and riot brings us closer to the day that the citizens of each western nations will simply vote in the hard right nationalists. these jihadists really are dumb, in a few years time islam will be banned from the west and there will be mass deportations when the likes of the BNP, french national front, austrian freedom party gain power.
if our current governments don't give a sh*t about us then we will vote in parties that care......bring it on, im not scared of a few mouthy immigrants.

Leom, I'm the last person who would want to see hard right politicians voted in but that is what is happening in Muslim enclaves in the North of England for example. Angry poor white people are sick of the endless grants, handouts and favouritism towards Islamists. The same on those housing projects in Paris where there are poor white people too - notably Portugese immigrants - who are absolutely outraged at the torching of their schools and property.
