Do you think the Queen knows?

I blogged on Friday about the Saudi flags on the Mall ahead of the State visit by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia this week. The wording on the flags may be of interest to the Queen as she is "Supreme Governor of the Church of England". The Arabic phrase translates as "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger", it is "The Shahadah", the Islamic creed - the Muslim declaration of belief in the oneness of God and acceptance of Muhammad as his final prophet.

To convert to Islam all that is required is a single honest recitation of the Shahadah in Arabic, so maybe the Queen should not ask King Abdullah what the wording says.
