UK Islamic fanatics' issue call to prosecute Queen

London, Aug.1 (ANI): Islamic extremist Anjem Choudary and several of his supporters have publicly demanded the prosecution of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II over a charge that she sanctioned British troops to wipe out the civilian population in Afghanistan.

In an Internet rant to fellow extremist Muslims, and reported by The Sun, they declared: "She is the one who applauds her sons and daughters to go out and massacre hundreds and thousands of innocent people. Shouldn't she be tried for genocide and the extermination of a nation?"

The rant has left Members of Parliament livid with anger.

Labour MP Andrew Dismore said of the shameful attack that appeared on a website linked to Choudary: "Never mind calling for the prosecution of the Queen. The Queen should prosecute him. It's about time he was busted." ellow MP Patrick Mercer - chairman of the Commons counter- terrorism sub-committee - branded it an "insult to our monarch."

The ex-soldier stormed: "We must recognise Mr. Choudary's words for what they are - weapons being wielded by al-Qaeda and the Taliban. This is the next phase of an enemy operation in our country."

Cops are currently investigating Choudary, 42 - who is on benefits and is a pal of hate preacher Omar Bakri - for demanding gays be stoned to death.

Douglas Murray, of the Centre for Social Cohesion, said of the latest outrage: "It's especially offensive because the people behind it are living off handouts from the British taxpayer." (ANI)
