Prince Harry says he was happier in Afghanistan now that he is back home.
As Prince Harry returned home today, British Radical Islamists threatened the young prince after it was announced that he was fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan this week.
The Daily Express and LGF Quick Links reported:
Muslim fanatics labelled Prince Harry a target for assassins last night after his heroics against the Taliban.Prince Harry returned home to Great Britain this morning the BBC News reported.
Harry’s perilous Army mission in Afghanistan was dismissed by British extremists as a mere publicity stunt.
But they also claimed that by participating in an “illegal war”, the brave young Prince had made himself fair game for a terrorist attack.
Tory MPs last night condemned the outpourings by three influential Islamic radicals as “highly irresponsible”. Andrew Rosindell, who represents Romford in Essex, said: “This is an appalling thing for them to say.”
Yesterday’s outbursts came as Harry was on his way home amid fears for his safety after details of his exploits in Helmand province emerged.
Anjem Choudary, former leader of British-based radicals Al Muhajiroun, said: “He will be seen as part of the enemy and so he is a target. This is an illegal war and it should be seen in that light, and for Harry to participate has absolutely no justification. Those who want to carry out operations over here will target Harry. He is a natural target for someone that way inclined.”
Choudary, right-hand man to hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, added: “There have been many wiser and braver men who have decided not to participate and who have objected.
Bakri himself said: “He is just doing it for publicity – for him he has been on a picnic. I do not believe he is there to engage or fight.
“He is there for publicity for himself and for the Royal Family. I do not think he is a threat to Al Qaeda or the Taliban.” Bakri, 49, who now lives in Lebanon after being barred from Britain, accused the Government of being “irresponsible”.
He said: “They say they have an integrated society and then they are involving themselves in a war which is unjust.
“Harry should now come out and tell everyone what he saw and what he has experienced.
“He should tell the Muslim community what he thinks and if he would go out again. He should condemn the persecution taking place and call for troops to withdraw.”
Earlier, Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said Harry would be a target if he stayed in Afghanistan.
“I am sure many Afghans opposed to the British presence will see him as a high-value target,” he said. Harry is expected to be back on British soil today. But he has been warned to stay away from his favourite London nightclubs for fear of presenting an easy target for the terrorists.
Jules Crittenden reported on the best part of Harry's time in Afghanistan and this:
...The whole world’s a war zone today, and when you do the math, the west’s military dead overseas have only recently outpaced the civilian dead at home, from New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia to Madrid, London and Bali. That’s before you get to al Qaeda’s lust for civilian blood on Muslim turf, from Algeria to Pakistan. A lot of people, civilian and military, have died in a lot of places in this global war. Again, having one of the world’s elite, a British royal, engaged on the front lines is of inestimable value...Previously:

If nothing can be done about these threats, would that show that Britain is too lawless, or too law-abiding? Perhaps old-fashioned lawlessness, such as the use of tar and feathers, had something to recommend it after all.
Remember when threatening a royal's life could actually get you in trouble in England?
And yet, if we threatened their lives, that would be wrong?
Hey, if Harry took out any of their jihadists friends in Afghanistan,
Good work Harry!
Good thing Islam's the Religon of Peace otherwise the prince might be in real trouble.
Three cheers for Prince Harry!!!
Isn't it sad that Harry has more intestinal fortitude than the current British ruling party plus the British Media plus the Archbishop of Canterbury?
How did Prince Harry turn out so well? He was a cute little tyke and all, but who knew he'd have this much old-time Britishness? The Queen must be absolutely beside herself with pride. Heck, I'm mostly Irish, and *I* am.
And I certainly hope the prince's bodyguards are just as focused, determined, and brave as their charge is, and are armed and authorized to use deadly force as well.
"Tory MPs last night condemned the outpourings by three influential Islamic radicals...."
TORY MP's?? TORY??
So, apperently you have to be on one side of the aisle, one of those misguided if not evil retrograde conservative types to... condemn a death threat made by foreign born (or decidely foregin sympathetic) religious fanatics against a first order member of the royal family?
Well, I suppose it's just a matter of opinion....

[“I am sure many Afghans opposed to the British presence will see him as a high-value target,” he said.]
typical taqiyyah twist.. shifting the blame for their threats onto Afghans.. i didn't hear of any Afghanis threatening Harry (or the British forces for that matter).. just the usual analmouthed suspects who represent AQ et al, go figure..

To the tower!
The severed heads of Anjem Choudary, Omar Bakri Mohammed, and Inayat Bunglawala must be placed on the towers of London Bridge.
Threatening the life of a member of the Royal family is still a treasonable offense. Expect the British authorities to do something that will crackdown on these dissidents very soon.
Those adherents to the "religion of peace" who support murder should simply be sent back to their cesspool homelands. That should be punishment enough. Ingrates.
In less publicized news, George Galloway has just returned from a six year tour of duty with the Taliban.
"Isn't it sad that Harry has more intestinal fortitude than the current British ruling party plus the British Media plus the Archbishop of Canterbury?"
You can always count on the British elite to do the right thing.
In 1933, the Oxford Union - a debating society and one of the strongholds of liberal elite opinion - held a debate on the resolution "this House will in no circumstances fight for king and country." The resolution passed. Margot Asquith, one of England's leading liberal lights, wrote that same year, quite sincerely: "There is only one way of preserving peace in the world, and getting rid of your enemy, and that is to come to some sort of agreement with him. . . . The greatest enemy of mankind today is hate."
Churchill disdained the new liberalism, mocking one of his opponents as part of "that band of degenerate international intellectuals who regard the greatness of Britain and the stability and prosperity of the British Empire as a fatal obstacle. . . . " So deep was this liberal loathing of empire that even as the first shots of World War II were being fired, Churchill's private secretary, Jock Colville, witnessed at a theater "a group of bespectacled intellectuals" who, to his shock, "remain[ed] firmly seated while 'God Save the King' was played."
These elites could see evil only at home. The French intellectual Simone de Beauvoir did not believe that Germany was a "threat to peace," but instead worried that the "panic that the Right was spreading" would drag France, Britain, and the rest of Europe into war. Stafford Cripps, a liberal Labor member of Parliament, feared not Hitler, but Churchill. Cripps wrote that after Churchill became prime minister he would "then introduce fascist measures and there will be no more general elections."
In an important sense, the British Empire's strength failed because its elite liberal citizens stopped believing in it.

Ok, so any Afghans would like to stay in the dark ages instead of finding some way to build up a country and participate in the real world of today.
I hope that the people there do take charge of their lives and stop letting tyrants of Taliban or terrrorists use them to grow opium to fund the terror organizations which actually keep the Afghans away from joining the rest of the world.
These jihadis should be sent out like lambs.
"These jihadis should be sent out like lambs"...
Hmmm, I was thinking if this jihadi types are captured, a deep bit with hungry feral pigs with the jihadis in it might be a real money maker on cable television...
