The Queen of Great Britain has been targeted by al-Qaeda as “one of the severest enemies of Islam”. Yet, Elizabeth II is a living descendant of the Prophet Muhammed.

LONDON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda’s Ayman al-Zawahri has called Britain’s Queen Elizabeth “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.

Queen Elizabeth II descends from the Muslims who created the Arab Andalusian civilization of Spain. Those people descended from the family of the Prophet Mohammed, therefore the Queen herself is one of his direct living descendants. When Queen Elizabeth visited Morocco in 1980, the Moroccan media pointed out this Islamic ancestry of the British Queen.

Altogether the British royals have five lines of direct descent from the Prophet Muhammed. They are descended from Queen Isabella I, of Castile (1451-1504) and King Fernando who were descendants of the prophet Muhammed. They descend from the Kings of Portugal and Castile from the 1300s who were also in Muhammed’s line. Another of their lines from Muhammed comes from the King(s) of Pamplona and Navarre in the middle ages. Here is a Pedigree Of the Prophet Mohammed which refers to him as the 30th great grandfather of King George I of England. Quite interesting.
