Al Qaeda calls Queen 'enemy of Islam'
 

LONDON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahri has called the Queen "one of the severest enemies of Islam" in a video message after July's deadly bombings in London, the Sunday Times reported.

The paper said the reference to the queen was part of a videotaped statement released in September after the July 7 suicide bombing attacks in which al Qaeda's number two praises the bombings and denounces the queen.

The statement has prompted intelligence officers to alert Buckingham Palace that the Queen had become a specific target of al Qaeda, said the paper.

The Sunday Times quoted a senior civil servant as saying the MI5 security service was aware that there were some parts of the video which had not been aired.

"They are aware of the bit of Zawahri talking about the Queen and they have notified the relevant authorities," the paper quotes a senior official as saying.

The Foreign Office and Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

In the 27-minute video, which the Sunday Times said it had obtained, Zawahri targets the Queen as ultimately responsible for Britain's "crusader laws" and calls her an enemy of Muslims.

The paper also said Zawahri had warned British Islamic leaders who "work for the pleasure of Elizabeth, the head of the Church of England".

Al Jazeera had shown the video of Mohammad Sidique Khan, the suspected ringleader of the July 7 bombings who was killed in the blasts, and Zawahri in separate segments which the network described as a claim of responsibility from al Qaeda for the blasts on London's transport system which killed 52 people.

The tape also showed Khan warning of more strikes.

Because it is part of the culture and tradition of England. And Muslims hate Britian and its heritage so they want to attack the queen.

whats the alternative some figurehead president like they have in germany? i'd rather stick with traditions royal family only costs the tax payer about 300 million a year and the tourism it generates is propbably equal to that if not more. The royal family actually do alot of things promoting good causes and doing charity work, thats not to say they don;t have their short comings but they are certainly the best option for britain.

and for your information most brits like the queen its prince charles they don't like....

but to say she is the enemy of islam is rediculas even if someone disagrees with her governments actions she has no real control over what they do its the politicians who are elected by the people who have the power and its been like that for hundreds of years although the last century has seen much more power of the people in the government. yes the queen has the power to dissolve the government but she only excersises that power when asked to do so by the prime minister when he wants to call an election.
