HE'S A HIGH-VALUE TARGET, SAYS UK MUSLIM LEADER

Prince Harry talks to aircraft operating over Afghanistan

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(11)

A LEADING Muslim spokesman provoked fury last night by describing Prince Harry as a “high-value target” in Afghanistan.

Inayat Bunglawala, of the Muslim Council of Britain, called for him to be brought home immediately and warned that his life was in danger.

But MPs called his outburst “highly irresponsible”.

Mr Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the organisation, said: “If he is still there I am sure many Afghans opposed to the British presence in Afghanistan will see him as a high-value target.

“We wish both him and his colleagues in the Army are brought back from Afghanistan, out of harm’s way.” Mr Bunglawala said the organisation wants troops to leave Afghanistan because of their “negative” effect.

“The presence of foreign troops appears to be counter-productive, galvanising opposition,” he added.

Tory MP Andrew Rosindell said the remarks were “highly irresponsible”.

He said: “This is an appalling thing for them to say. Prince Harry is showing tremendous courage in serving his country and bringing freedom to Afghanistan. We should be proud of him.”

Fellow Tory MP Patrick Mercer – a former Commanding Officer of the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment – said he “resented deeply” Mr Bunglawala’s words.

He added: “I buried two comrades from my regiment last year who died there. To say the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan is counter-productive completely negates their sacrifice.”

He laughed at the claim that if Harry remains his life could be in danger. “Of course it’s in danger – he’s a serving soldier,” Mr Mercer said.

Robert Key, a Tory on the Commons Defence Committee, disagreed with the tone of the comments, saying: “It was the best possible decision that the Prince should go to Afghanistan on active service for which he was trained and had chosen. He and the Queen and the MoD assessed the risk and it was a miracle his presence there remained a secret for as long as it did.

“It was always the case that he would be a target and so is each and every British soldier out there. We should all be very proud of him.’’

HE'S A HIGH VALUE TARGET ETC.

Inayat Bunglawala is not a leading spokesperson for the MCB, as babsb says he's only part-time. Makes you wonder what his day job is......

What he is, is a Muslim-firster in all his many guises and his "concern" for Harry's safety is bogus. I'm surprised the MCB hasn't cottoned on to his foot in mouth tactics, he does them no favours whatsoever. He has publicly admitted he wants to Islamise Britain. Begs the question as to whose side he's on regarding Afghanistan and anywhere else for that matter.

HE'S A HIGH-VALUE TARGET, SAYS UK MUSLIM LEADER

Firstly, Bunglawala is not a Muslim "leader" - he is a part-time volunteer press officer for the MCB. He admitted recently that he is not even paid for what he does and has a day job like everyone else.

Secondly, this is a prime example of al-taqeyya "smoke and mirrors" from Bunglawala, summed up in:

"“We wish both him and his colleagues in the Army are brought back from Afghanistan, out of harm’s way.” Mr Bunglawala said the organisation wants troops to leave Afghanistan because of their “negative” effect.

“The presence of foreign troops appears to be counter-productive, galvanising opposition,” he added."

Bunglawala appears to be reasonable and oh so full of concern for Harry, but his true agenda lies in his belief that all the troops should be brought home from Afghanistan, not because he is concerned that they are in danger but because he believes that kufr should not wage war on Muslims. He is on record as agreeing with Polly Toynbee that British foreign policy has helped foment murderous extremism among British Muslims.

Bunglawala is also on record as wanting to bring a Muslim caliphate, governed by sharia law, to the UK, and sharia law is antithetical to western democracy.

So what price his concern for Prince Harry?

You cannot cure a cancer with an Asprin. Its now time for some clear thinking. The Islamification of the UK has to stop. No more Muslims allowed in and those who are here should be vigorously encouraged to leave and live in the lands that support their poisonous views.

HIGH VALUE TARGETS

If the Muslim way gets much further in Britain, then all you muslim leaders will become targets of value to us as well, all your elders won't get much older and you won't talk as much shite as you are getting away with at the moment, I never thought I would say it but, god bless the BNP, as long as it stops the islamification of Britain, I don't hold with killings and such but, as long as the British way of life is the law, I can live with almost anything that upholds that.
How much value did you and your kind get from Ken Bigley? you disgusting little turd.
It shows what you think of this country, that you even think like that gives it away. You should be thrown out to where you think you belong. I can't put into words how much you make my blood boil with your false words as you plot to take over Britain, the battle lines are being drawn, and you and your islamic brothers are going home, which home you choose is up to you physical or spiritual. Just go, just one more thing, if you leave this year, could you take Gordon Broone with you, we hate him just as much.
