She is our Queen, say proud Muslim leaders in royal visit

"Can it, boy. The Queen is loved and respected by the vast majority of people in the UK:"

I suppose you have a better insight than I. But sometimes tradition and propinquity blind logic.

"the only people who don't like her are the liberals and socialists."

I'm neither a liberal nor a socialist. Nor do I have a problem with functional monarchies. Comparing this officious ceremony ridden old harridan with a REAL monarch like Edward III or James II is like comparing a housecat with a lion.

"She is Queen of all people in the UK no matter what their faith"

Apparently. Apperently even those theological misfits whose doctrinal goal is to establish an Islamic religious state and oppress or convert all infidels.

"Anyway, didn't Bush visit a mosque not too long ago? "

We all have our problems. Either our President never read a book on history and knows nothing of world events, or he's pandering to Middle Eastern Oil producers when he comes out with such an idiotic statement as "Islam is a peaceful religion". Obviously, the situation is the latter.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "

Anybody who would prefer Camila Parker-Bowles to Diana Spencer needs a brain re-section.

"Hey, this is you, isn't it? "

No, actually, I'm the guy in the back trying to make time with the chick. (I know - she's a little plump, but not everybody gets a chance at a Diana Spencer.)

Why is it that the leadership of non-muslim countries feel compelled to visit Islamic holy sites or to announce that Islam is a religion of peace when the world knows that it's a religion of terrorism? What do these leaders hope to gain by appearing at these sites? I'm baffled!

That's hardly a fair analogy. Although as one of Her subjects, I am against Her visiting the mosque, I hardly think it can be equated to appeasement of the Nazis.

Actually, this is the case while they had the drawbridge up! Here in the US, we don't even have a moat yet!

Maybe Bush should've requested that "Prince" Abdullah of Saudi visit a Methodist Church near Crawford to show his support to the American people and to all the Christians living in his 'kingdom'.

""unclean, infidel temples of idolatry"

Those are the Hindu/Sikh/Buddhist temples.

Aren't Christians the 'revealed religions' and 'peoples of the book' with whom the jihadis have so much in common.

[Re: pic of Prince Charles all Islamified]...If this shot of Bonnie Prince Charlie (II) was taken in his own kingdom, then shame on him! It's not like "When in Rome..." if he's at home!

Oh, it was in his own kingdom all right. Here's another photo from the same event, it seems--I think he was visiting some Islamic center, I think it was in London, don't quote me, could have been another town in England, but planting a tree at it.

Doesn't seem right, but then he does seem to like to dress up. I have a fascinating photo of him in an American Indian headdress...

Thanks for the link in #39! I hadn't seen it back then.

O.K. Perhaps I chose ...poorly with James II. How about Charles II?

But I was right about Edward III. How about Henry II for another choice? Or Richard III who could have been a great king if that poltroon and descendant of a Welsh gigalo ( gigilo???) Harry of Richmond hadn't beat him at Bosworth. Or, how about another favorite .. Alfred the Great.

Thought this was another George Micheals thread.

I know the Queen is not advocating the mayhem perpetrated on us by the Muslim madmen. But this conciliatory effort reeks of accommodation and appeasment, a lesson Britons should have learned all too well from history.

Nicely put. I agree.

[MinuteGal]

Not all Germans were Nazis, nor were all Italians fascists. Should this queen's father have paid courtesy calls to these governments during WW2?

Methinks in this case, Queen Elizabeth should have sent an emissary in her stead. Perhaps a lord CHAMBERLAIN?

I heard about it too and I think you mean the Al-Muhajiroun organization, a part of the Khilafah movement.

[swarthyguy]

It's been a while but i think it was more of a mainstream organisation but very could have been the al-m's. Did Al-M even exist back then? Anyway regardless of who, its symptomatic of how much we have to be on guard so that the very freedoms that allow freedom of worship and others do no end up being used against us ( all the democracies and nonmuslims).
