The usually non-political, ceremonial Queen Elizabeth reflected on the jihad attacks in London and Manchester this year, without naming their perpetrators. She stated in her Christmas speech:
This Christmas, I think of London and Manchester, whose powerful identities shone through over the past twelve months in the face of appalling attacks
In June 2016, Queen Elizabeth also uncharacteristically commented about Brexit, stating that courts that protect jihad preachers “denigrate” Britain. She asked her dinner guests to give her three good reasons why the UK should remain inside the European Union (EU).
If the jihad problem played a role in the Queen’s support for Brexit, then there is a problem, as Prime Minister Theresa May is in sync with most European leaders. May has shown no leadership, as she continues to fail Brits in her pandering to Muslims. Britain also currently has over 85 Sharia courts operating independently of the British legal system.
“Queen’s Christmas Address Reflects on Horrors of Radical Islamic Terrorism in 2017”, by Raheem Kassam, Breitbart, December 25, 2017:
Her Majesty The Queen has delivered her regular Christmas address to the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth allies, reflecting on the radical Islamic terrorism that tore through London and Manchester this year.
Speaking from Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty began by reflecting on her own past 60 years of delivering speeches to the nation at Christmas, and the technological advancements she has witnessed since.
Pivoting to the terrorist atrocities of this year, Her Majesty said:
We think of our homes as places of warmth, familiarity and love; of shared stories and memories, which is perhaps why at this time of year so many return to where they grew up. There is a timeless simplicity to the pull of home.
For many, the idea of “home” reaches beyond a physical building – to a home town or city.
This Christmas, I think of London and Manchester, whose powerful identities shone through over the past twelve months in the face of appalling attacks. In Manchester, those targeted included children who had gone to see their favourite singer. A few days after the bombing, I had the privilege of meeting some of the young survivors and their parents.
I describe that hospital visit as a “privilege” because the patients I met were an example to us all, showing extraordinary bravery and resilience. Indeed, many of those who survived the attack came together just days later for a benefit concert. It was a powerful reclaiming of the ground, and of the city those young people call home.
The British Monarch — who has now reigned for 65 years — also made reference to the Grenfell fire which ripped through a tower block in West London this year, killing 71 people.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who died and those who lost so much; and we are indebted to members of the emergency services who risked their own lives, this past year, saving others. Many of them, of course, will not be at home today because they are working, to protect us.
Penultimately, Her Majesty reiterated that her husband Prince Phillip would be slowing down a bit in terms of public events, as she approaches her 92nd birthday.
Finally, Her Majesty stated of Christmas, and the life of Jesus Christ:
Today we celebrate Christmas, which itself is sometimes described as a festival of the home. Families travel long distances to be together. Volunteers and charities, as well as many churches, arrange meals for the homeless and those who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day. We remember the birth of Jesus Christ whose only sanctuary was a stable in Bethlehem…..
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It doesn’t sound as if the Queen linked Jihad mass murder terror to the religion of Islam. That would make too much sense, making the linkage would invite too much bad publicity and needless division of opinion.
So many people would be offended, so many that silence on the question is best.
Andy says
I wish her majesty would have included in her yearly Christmas message the following comment from:
felix 1999
If someone doesn’t put their foot down, it will get WORSE.
I fear the only SANE solution is to DEPORT ALL MUSLIMS.
They are UNABLE to assimilate. Their religion doesn’t allow it.
‘We’ don’t accept the following backward doctrines,
but Muslims do:
1 No Golden Rule
2 No free speech
3 No democracy
4 Jihad – holy war of world conquest
5 Honour killings
6 Taqiyya – sacred lying
7 Taqlid – group think
8 Misogyny – repression of women
9 Rape of kafirs as jihad prizes
10 Genocide
11 Ethnic cleansing
12 Anti-Semitism
13 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – Islamic apartheid
14 Torture
15 Plundering
16 Cruel and unusual punishments
17 Backwardness – stagnation
18 Violence against women
19 Slavery
20 Discriminatory Sharia law
21 Hatred of the arts
22 Pedophilia disguised as child marriage
23 Fifty generations of cousin marriage and genetic defects
24 Cruelty to animals sex with animals and sadistic halal meat
25 Extortion tax to humiliate disbelievers
26 No historic basis
27 Obscurantist rejection of reason
28 FGM
29 Arab racism
30 Theocratic totalitarianism
31 Vigilantism
32 Supremacism
The list goes on and on and on.
Ecosse1314 says
Lizzie diesn’t give a feck about the UK or Christianity or for that matter Europe. Her and her German family have only one concern. That is the archaic institution called the Commonwealth.
No-one in Scotland wales England or Northern Ireland care an iota over the Commonwalth.
Bob says
Ecosse – speak for yourself! You certainly don’t speak for the majority of us in the UK!
blitz2b says
@Bob, I really don’t know about the “majority” you are talking about. UK has practically surrendered itself to Islam. Can you even imagine that the evil name of the evil prophet of Islam is the most popular name for boys in the UK now?
Why is that Bob?
Are the selfish people in the former Great Britain so sick of their own heritage that they have absolutely no interest in passing it down to their progeny?
Whatever you may think of the Queen, her retarded son Charles a total sell out will still secure his seat at the throne after his mother passes on and the majority of the country is Islamic, by embracing Islam himself.
He is a closet Muslim and will announce this once he secures the throne… Wait and see ..
Aardvark says
Neither she nor any member of her family are German. Neither are they English, Greek, or any other European nationality. They belong to a race of parasites that have plagued the countries of Europe for centuries, marrying (until recently) only other members of the same group. Most European countries have now thrown them out, and although we still have a (ridiculously expensive) royal family here in the UK, they have very little politial power.
Carol says
Andy.. we should all save that list and make a New Year’s Resolution to post it often in local papers, chat rooms, YouTube etc. Surely then things will begin to “add up”.
Andy says
That’s a good one Carol! You can say that again!
Hope you as well as all of us have a Happy (peaceful, Terrorist Free) New Year!!!!!!
Cheers!!
Andy
M says
Absolutely correct Andy. The queen has been groomed \ brain washed and lied to by the males and self centered clueless females that surround her. She was bread in to an insestuous family of royal self centered dimwits. If she had any where with all and or guts she would be speaking out against these Muslim rapist pigs that rape and gang rape girls as young as 11 yrs.old and start deporting all muslims and bring her troops home to protect the UK’s boarder. Unfortunately the queen has allowed herself to be put in the position as the b*tch (female dog) ruling over the UK. By the way, dogs (male dogs) gang bang b*itches (female dogs). This self entitled fake morality of a woman does not obviously care about the raping of her own female citizens that she supposedly rules over. Pathetic and sickening at the same time.
StellaSaidSo says
Given her position, and training, I am pleasantly surprised that the Queen referred to jihad-related events at all. She is well ahead of her heirs in this respect. And you over-estimate the extent of her power. She has very little. She REIGNS. She DOES NOT ‘rule over’.
Hector Archytas says
Those horrors is a demographic attacks as they target a reducing of the number of english women on breeding age to complement the nativist war.
Eric jones says
Unlike the Pope the Queen did address Islamist terror and she did not shy away from Christianity like the Pope has or as the ISIS enabler Obama did.
Where is fearless leader of Canada right now, in some mosque?
Eric
LeftisruiningCanada says
Or on a small island owned by a certain islamic cult leader…..surrounded by whatever passes for servants there.
kabooooooooooooooooooooom says
Trudy, “officially” is holidaying near Meech Lake – a short distance from Ottawa. in Quebec. Apparently many of her Cabinet girlfriends will be joining her for THIS Period.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Ah yes, that well known center of witchcraft and satanic skulduggery. I’m sure they all love fancy dress.
Carol says
It would be interesting to know then how this supposedly Christian fellow manages to avoid offending muslim “sensibilities”.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Not following you there Carol…..
LeftisruiningCanada says
The Queen is either the head of an inter-dimensional lizard mafia, or England’s heart, soul and quiet protector of the nation and the faith.
I can’t decide which.
Phil Copson says
“The Queen is either the head of an inter-dimensional lizard mafia, or England’s heart, soul and quiet protector of the nation and the faith……..I can’t decide which.”
If it’s any help here, Queen Elizabeth is known as “Lizzie” for a reason….and that famous Royal “blue blood” could also be on account of all that Blue Lizard genealogy.
(Still, having looked after the accounts of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle for some years when working for a Royal Warrant Holder, I will say one thing: at least those blue lizards pay their bills on time, and you can’t ask for more than that…..)
LeftisruiningCanada says
If they were buying lots of high powered heat lamps from pet stores we’d have all the evidence we need.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Maybe the Queen isn’t the head of the Lizard Mafia…maybe she is being kept hostage by them!
That makes things much more complicated.
gravenimage says
Queen’s Christmas message includes horrors of jihad terror attacks in London and Manchester
……………………..
I was glad that she mentioned these horrors–better than the usual, where they are studiously ignored.
But there seemed to be no sense of where these attacks were coming from or why, and certainly no hint of what to do about them.
rufolino says
Oh yes there WAS a sense of what the attacks meant ! In film of her visit to Manchester victims in hospital, she is clearly overheard to utter the word “EVIL”. This piece of film wasn’t included in the speech by accident, nothing in the speech is accidental.
nicholas tesdorf says
Her Majesty the Queen has twenty times the brain power of Theresa May the Prime Minister. When people hear the Queen and Theresa May speak, they realize this clearly. Long live the Queen!
LeftisruiningCanada says
The Queen has the PM over to Her Palace on a very regular basis for a very private chat. Every week i think. At least every two weeks. Always has.
Would so like to know what they talk about.
gravenimage says
Yes–I am glad to see even this in today’s Britain.
Long live the Queen!
CRUSADER says
God Save this Queen !
LeftisruiningCanada says
Amen. She could do so much good.
Bob says
+at least 1!
kabooooooooooooooooooooom says
Only because the alternative would be a disaster. I hope she lives to 120 (give Prinz Chuck a chance to run afoul of a wandering mail-truck).
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yes, say what we will, the Queen represents an England (and Canada) long since consigned to memory. It will be very sad when her time comes. Long live the Queen.
Wellington says
Bottom line: The Queen has still not done nearly enough. Her nation has been transformed during her reign from a free polity to one that is no longer free and which has been infested with followers of the worst religion ever, followers of the religious equivalent of Nazism.
Her peripheral comments about Islamic terror and all the rot that Islam sows, wherever and whenever given the opportunity, is simply not nearly enough. By now, she should have put her office on the line because her nation is deeply sick from within from a very bad case of pc/mc, very possibly a lethal case, and is being transformed into something that I am certain Winston Churchill, were the Great Man still here, would be appalled by.
One last matter: I need no damn lecture from anyone telling me I don’t understand the constitutional role of the British monarchy. Oh yes I do. I have read Bagehot et al., so don’t bother me with any rot about how the Queen can’t do this or that. Sometimes, you know, you need to break precedent and tradition———-especially when freedom is being eroded and your nation is dying. No constitutional restriction, this or that one, no constitutional propriety, this or that one, no tradition, this or that one, and so on should EVER take precedence over saving your nation. As LBJ retorted, when told he shouldn’t put the Presidency of the United State on the line, “What the hell good is the Presidency if you can’t put it on the line from time to time?”
Same here with the British monarchy, which institution I have long been an admirer of. No longer.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Agreed. She could have a much greater role and influence than any mere elected position could have. Everyone swears allegiance to her. Everything is Hers.
Maybe she wants an islamic hell hole, i don’t know.
Wellington says
I take no pleasure in saying this, LeftisruiningCanada, but Elizabeth has failed her nation. She by now, if as knowledgeable about Islam as she should be and with no excuse for not being so, should have risked all to save her country, including the possible loss of her throne.
But she has not. Which stands as a judgement upon her.
My God, what a waste of a once great country. And for what? For Islam? Time for a beer.
mortimer says
Wellington, the sovereign must refrain from political statements, but she can broadly hint what her sentiments are. This she did during the Brexit debate by asking top people ‘Tell me two good reasons why we should remain.” This is another case of the Queen pushing the limit. She is bound to be remonstrated for this boldness!
It should be remembered that the Royal Family has received many WELL-publicized DEATH THREATS and I am sure they are now all aware of the risk at every second of the day.
The Queen’s Christmas address was in restrained diplomatic language close to a declaration of war on jihadists. I interpret her speech as a very strong statement indeed!
Wellington says
Frankly, mortimer, I am not moved by your “refrain argument.” If you had grasped in its entirety what I have written on this thread you would have not mentioned the word “refrain” in the first place.
I respect you a great deal. I bow to your extensive knowledge of Islam. I regularly welcome your comments here at JW. We are simpatico over 90% of the time. But, please, spare me any more “refrain excuses” concerning the British monarchy.
Elizabeth should have by now gone way beyond any “refrain factor.” Here’s why: Her nation is dying and she has simply not done enough (do you really, really want to argue that she has done enough?).
Please, re-read my comments on this thread if you have any doubt of where I stand or any doubt of my knowledge of British history, from the semi-historical Arthur and Anglo-Saxon times onwards. I do grasp the role of the constitutional British monarchy. Truly I do. But Elizabeth has simply not done enough. Of this I am certain. Again, do you want to argue, truly, that she has done enough to date? I aver that she has been woefully short in this regard. Go ahead and tell me why I’m wrong, and please keep in mind if you do that quote from LBJ I proffered. It’s a damn powerful and telling one.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Everything you say makes sense Wellington. From our position it all looks like gross negligence and inaction on the Crown’s part, perhaps even helping the enemy.
I just can’t write her off yet. Call me a sentimental old Subject, but i can’t help but believe there’s more going on than we know, for good or bad.
The good would be that our Monarch exercises more power than we see openly, and that she will use it before it’s too late.
The bad would be that she’s done a deal to transition the UK to an islamic state, and is preparing her self and family a nice England-sized chunk of real estate somewhere in Canada to call home at some point. The bad would also include her being a lizard.
Or whatever.
gravenimage says
Like Wellington, I would like to see her saying *much* more. I think many Britons would listen.
CelticToTheBone says
I did NOT have to SWEAR allegiance to her when I became a Canadian citizen.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Really? It’s no longer part of the ceremony? Or did you just keep quiet or cross your fingers?
AleX says
The citizenship oath in Canada still contains allegiance to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Maybe you don’t remember, Celtic To The Bone, as you were probably deeply moved by the ceremony. Or by the marijuana joint.
Phil Copson says
Dead right – when the country itself is threatened she has an obvious duty to her country and it’s people to speak out; against islamisation, against the break-up of the United Kingdom, and against the loss of it’s nationhood to the anti-democratic EU One Party Police State.
(Although if she did, Shariah May would doubtless have her imprisoned under “house arrest”.)
Wellington says
If Sharia May would do that, had Elizabeth been as sterling, enlightened and courageous a ruler as the first Elizabeth, it would have only brought matters to a crisis, which I think Elizabeth would have won and May lost. And, as a bonus, a very big bonus for not just the UK but all of Western Civilization, it would highlight, yet again, how awful Islam is and, too, how awful dhimmi suck-ups like May really are.
A great opportunity lost. For Britain. For the British monarchy. For Western Civilization. For freedom. Damn.
Infidela says
Elizabeth 1st was the one who allowed Muslims into England for the very first time.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Q – Mohammadan’s Jihad+?
Keys says
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Whoever
House arrest of the Queen would probably not be enough to inspire many good Brits to do something. My guess is most subjects would not see any compelling sacrifice in that.
However, if May could have her imprisoned in the Tower of London, that might be what it takes to rouse sufficient numbers of men of good will to rise up against the moral cancer of Islam in Britain. What are the chances of that ! I too need a beer.
Doesn’t it seem to be that defeating evil requires great sacrifice throughout history, and in life everywhere, all in all ?
In Britain there is again A Gathering Storm, which will again require Closing the Ring for another Triumph and Tragedy.
LeftisruiningCanada says
I’d rescue her. It would be great.
mortimer says
Three cheers for HM Queen Elizabeth who boldly declared her counterjihad sentiments! Let’s hope British and Commonwealth politicians now feel it’s ACCEPTABLE to denounce JIHAD against us!
Let this be the end of the suicidal pretence that Islam is peaceful.
The caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared that ‘Islam is the religion of Q-T-L’, the Arabic word for FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Islam is truly the RELIGION OF DEATH AND KILLING and Muslims are fighting jihad every year, regardless of whether they are attacked or not.
De Doc says
The titular head of the C of E acting like a tit.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Prithee bridle thy sacrilegious tongue, or on thine own head shall it be.
What is it for common men to speak thus of their betters?
CelticToTheBone says
This is in response to your question above; regarding why I did not have to Swear allegiance during my citizenship ceremony. I’m Irish. I only had to AFFIRM allegiance. I believe the Irish are the ONLY exemption.
AleX says
There is no exemption for the Irish only, nor do they have a special oath of citizenship in your case.
Wether you like it or not, you are a subject.
The only ones who do not pledge allegiance are the Canadian born. Isn’t that an irony in itself?
LeftisruiningCanada says
Interesting, it’s something i’ve not heard of before.
Is this status of “affirmed’ allegiance reflected in a particular wording on your citizenship documents?
Is there any difference between affirming and swearing, in the end?
And, if there is a difference, why do people from Ireland only affirm? Did she not want you? 🙂
Guy Forester says
As much as I feel the Queen spoke up, I would have liked to hear her be more pointed and more rabble rousing. The people of the UK have been abandoned by their leaders, who seem to be chasing utopian theories that never pan out. The electorate have not seen through this and somehow still expect these windbags to deliver something. England once had a robust manufacturing economy. No more. A strong navy-no more.
I think that too many good men and women perished in previous wars, and not enough people of faith and courage are left to speak out. The queen has made a far bolder statement than most politicos. Unfortunately, here progeny do not have even an iota of the boldness she presented. When someone does stand up to speak out against the destruction of the UK, the press and the reigning politicos of the “two” main parties vilify that person. When the elections are run, the results always turn out the same. Regardless of who runs or claims to have voted.
Yes, God Save the Queen. May she stand up and really speak out while she can. And may DJT keep hammering the message home that we will not give in, but will fight against Islamic terror and jihad.
LeftisruiningCanada says
If the Queen started saying things about repelling the enemy of islam, or something to that effect, England would erupt into a national war zone overnight.
I’m not sure she could say much more than she did, simply because of that.
No one cares what a politician says. But the Queen? Her word still carries weight, i don’t care what some nationalist Scot has to say about the matter. 😀
gravenimage says
Muslims are already at war with us.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Ha, their backwards savage notion of war is nothing compared to England, and Canada for that matter, called to action by but the gentlest spoken command of our Queen. If she would say it, the mohammadan menace would be rounded up and forced into the nearest sea or ocean by first morning’s light.
These devils have forgotten what England and St George can bring to the battle. We’ve been sleeping, dreaming of a better world, while they’ve been busy undoing the work of a thousand years past.
If the Queen, God Bless Her, came on the TV and laid it all out – “My loyal subjects, i have been gravely misled by those closest to me into being patient with this past and now regretted course of action. I call upon all true men of England and Our many realms to rid Our fair lands of this grave threat…” – nothing our now unwelcome guests can imagine would prepare them for the righteous anger that she would thereby set free.
It would be fair and merciful. But it would be sure and true.
But alas, She will not likely do that.
MFritz says
Ah, but Queenie keeps (once again) in line and never calls out the nasty ideology that’s behind those horrific terror attacks.
The Windsors haven’t been trustworthy in over 100 years. That’s when they decided to let cousin Nicky start the Great War (by mobilising his troops) – and then blame cousin Wilhelm for it.
LeftisruiningCanada says
And we sometimes think our own families can be complicated….
rufolino says
About the Manchester attack, on film included in the speech the Queen is clearly overheard to utter the word “EVIL”. Listen up !
MFritz says
Maybe she says “evil”. But not “islam”. Not once.
LeftisruiningCanada says
If she, there would be serious consequences. And i don’t mean more islamic terror.
MFritz says
You mean people in the UK would actually take the threat of islam serious?
Champ says
First and foremost the Queen is only thinking about the precious image of the Crown …to hell with the unvarnished truth about islam & company because the ugly truth will never be found tarnishing her heinous’ precious lips.
Champ says
ahaha! I meant her highness, not ” her heinous” …I actually love the Queen, but she doesn’t ‘get it’ regarding islam.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Liz takes “say no more, say no more” up to a whole new level of tongue-in-cheekiness!
LeftisruiningCanada says
ey, ey, nudge nudge wink wink, say n’more!
Mirren10 says
I agree with Wellington.
The Queen is gutless, and is more concerned with the future of the House of Windsor than she is with the safety and heritage of the nation.
To hell with Bagehot, Lizbot. Queen up and show some guts ! But she won’t. ?
Wellington says
Frankly, Jay Boo, Mirren summed up my take on this “matter” pretty damn well. Yes, I didn’t specifically mention, as Mirren did, the possible motive for the Queen’s dereliction, i.e., the preservation of the House of Windsor, but the motive is secondary since no motive could justify the Queen’s inaction. Primary is that the Queen has simply not done enough, whatever the motive, as her nation is being transformed into a lesser nation, a different nation, a dangerous nation and an unfree nation. Beyond sad. It’s a tragedy of the first dimension that is in the making and the Queen is not deserving of exculpation in this ongoing disaster.
PRCS says
“her nation is being transformed into a lesser nation, a different nation, a dangerous nation and an unfree nation”
I haven’t the foggiest idea about her actual role or what’s she’s expected to or not say re: politics and law, but what’s preventing members of her family from stating the obvious?
Bev McMullan-Kungl says
The Royal Family is one of the globalists. This is the first Queen of England who has allowed the destruction of her country…all because of NWO.
LeftisruiningCanada says
“Who cares if Muslims (take offence)”
I do.
They should take more.
CRUSADER says
Thank you.
God Bless you Mum.
