AL-QAEDA has threatened the Queen by naming her as one of the severest enemies of Islam in a video message to justify the July bombings in London. The warning has been passed by MI5 to the Queens protection team after it obtained the unexpurgated version of a video issued by Al-Qaeda after the 7/7 attacks. Parts of it were broadcast on Al-Jazeera, the Arabic satellite channel.
In the video, Ayman al- Zawahiri, second-in-command to Osama Bin Laden, targets the Queen as ultimately responsible for Britains crusader laws and denounces her as an enemy of Muslims.
A senior Whitehall official said: MI5 is aware that there are some pieces of that video that have not been aired. They are aware of the bit of al- Zawahiri talking about the Queen and they have notified the relevant authorities.
The Sunday Times has obtained the full 27-minute video, which is circulating on secure jihadist websites in the Middle East used to recruit and inflame prospective terrorists. In Britain it has been posted by Muhammad al-Massari, the London-based Saudi extremist, on his website Tajdeed.
It also contains inflammatory material from Mohammad Sidique Khan, ringleader of the London bombings which killed 52 commuters. He is urging Muslims to take part in jihad and seek martyrdom.
Khan, 30, incites British Muslims to ignore the moderate Islamic leaders who want integration with British society.
Our so-called scholars of today, he said, are content with their Toyotas and semi- detached houses in their desire for integration. The message is believed to be the first of its kind in which a British suicide bomber calls on fellow UK Muslims to follow his example.
The attack by al-Zawahiri prompted intelligence officers to alert Buckingham Palace that the Queen had become a specific target of Al-Qaeda. Her security had already been upgraded after September 11, 2001.
In the video al-Zawahiri not only labels the Queen as one of Islams severest enemies but also sends a warning shot to British Islamic leaders who work for the pleasure of Elizabeth, the head of the Church of England.
He said those who followed her were saying: We are British citizens, subject to Britains crusader laws, and we are proud of our submission . . . to Elizabeth, head of the Church of England.
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.
In the previously unseen footage, Khan, from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, said: It is very clear, brothers and sisters, that the path of jihad and the desire for martyrdom is embedded in the holy prophet and his beloved companions.
By preparing ourselves for this kind of work, we are guaranteeing ourselves for paradise and gaining the pleasure of Allah.
And by turning our back on this work, we are guaranteeing ourselves humiliation and the anger of Allah. Jihad is an obligation on every single one of us, men and women.
Khans message was condemned by Sir Iqbal Sacranie, the Muslim Councils secretary-general, as a perverse interpretation of Islam.
The victims of Sidique Khan were innocent people . . . Its clearly inciteful. Its trying to incite people to commit murder, he said.

And I call Al Qaeda a gang of whack-offs.
Maybe we can defeat the terrorists by driving around playing "Fat Bottomed Girls" through loudspeakers.
"Meanwhile her son Charles is over here in the U.S. saying how we are too mean to Islam."
Charles must have inherited the genes of his great uncle, the diffident and sometimes Nazi-admiring Edward.
Huh? I guess I am exceptionallly slow tonight ... just didn't get it ...
I find it hard to believe that Chuckles qualified to pilot Phantom II's and Harriers.
haha.....it's one thing to fly 'em......it's another to fly them into battle....I'm sure there would be brown spots all over his canopy.........
Being able to fly the Harrier I consider a major feat in itself. Likely he left brown spots on the Martin-Baker (ejection seat) on his first veritical landing. That is a major unforgiving bird.
She's doing NOTHING! As only a figurehead, the Queen has no power and this is something that the idiot Muslim terrorists either don't understand or are ignoring.
Looks to me Chuckles the Prince has a good reason to want to fall under dhimmitude...after all, if TROP attacks and harms the Queen, he becomes King...FINALLY.
Lyndon LaRouche, please call your office.
Elizabeth II is a symbol of western stability, and Zawahiri's mission in his wretched life is to destablize the West. He has succeeded in getting the American and European Left to do their part.
But there will always be an England and there will always be an America, despite Zawahiri and his useful idiots in the West.
I don't know about how he feels about that, but he is looking into idea of Camilla wearing a "Burka".
She's a Killer Queen

Dear Lord, when I recall the pranks of several weirdos getting access to the Queen's household a few years ago....here's hoping her security has vastly improved.
Queen Elizabeth is not the Queen Mother; she is the Queen. The Queen Mother (who is now dead) was her mother, also named Elizabeth.
Perhaps the Queen's son Charles can begin a dialogue with the terrorists and find some common ground.
God save the Queen!
