I joined the RAF in 1975 and had to swear the Oath of Allegiance...is this still done, and moreover.

    does everyone joining our armed forces have to swear this oath...... even Muslims.
     
  2. Yes, you still do

    EVERYONE has to swear their allegiance to the Queen. Christians "swear by almighty God" and all that, with hand on Bible. Other faiths a variation on that theme. Agnostics make a solemn affirmation. It's all words but basically every recruit has to make certain promises.

    so that means then, that the Muslims are forsaking Allah/Mohammed then

    wonder when the extremist Muslims will latch on to that one then.

    I don't think most Muslims would have a problem with swearing allegiance.

    absolutely Don.And as I said , how long before the extremists grab hold of it

    you could end up with members of the armed forces being hit by the extremists, very much like the IRA did at its peak.

    I'm flabberghasted at this Don

    he needs to watch the two links you put to see real racist hatred...and its not coming from the european side either. The way the extremist muslims are acting is beyond belief. When anyone from the opposite direction kicks off even halfway to that extent they would be banged up immediately. This racist lark is a ONE WAY BLOODY STREET if you ask me.

    Difficult to work out how they think innit?

    Especially as those who are so quick to point the finger at anyone voicing a concern over the spread of radical Islam invariably claim to be anti-fascists. It's a very twisted pose at times.
