== Lyrics ==<br />
<br />
<br />Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned. <br />
<br />God make thee mightier yet! <br />
<br />On Sov'reign brows, beloved, renowned, <br />
<br />Once more thy crown is set. <br />
<br />Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, <br />
<br />Have ruled thee well and long; <br />
<br />By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, <br />
<br />Thine Empire shall be strong.<br />
<br />
<br />Land of Hope and Glory, <br />
<br />Mother of the Free, <br />
<br />How shall we extol thee, <br />
<br />Who are born of thee? <br />
<br />Wider still and wider <br />
<br />Shall thy bounds be set; <br />
<br />God, who made thee mighty, <br />
<br />Make thee mightier yet <br />
<br />God, who made thee mighty, <br />
<br />Make thee mightier yet. <br />
<br />
<br />Thy fame is ancient as the days, <br />
<br />As Ocean large and wide <br />
<br />A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, <br />
<br />A stern and silent pride <br />
<br />Not that false joy that dreams content <br />
<br />With what our sires have won; <br />
<br />The blood a hero sire hath spent <br />
<br />Still nerves a hero son.</div>Albionhttps://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Land_of_Hope_and_Glory&diff=369869Land of Hope and Glory2008-01-13T18:19:35Z<p>Albion: </p>

<hr />
<div>'''Charles I''' 19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was King of England, King of Scotland and King of Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution.<br />
<br />
Charles struggled for power with the Parliament of England. He firmly believed in the Divine Right of Kings, and many in England feared that he was attempting to gain absolute power. <br />
<br />
Religious conflicts were a notable feature of Charles' reign. He married a Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria of France, over the objections of Parliament and public opinion. Many of Charles' subjects felt that he brought the Church of England too close to Roman Catholicism. Charles' later attempts to force religious reforms upon Scotland led to the Bishops' Wars that weakened England's government and led to his downfall.<br />
<br />
His last years were marked by the English Civil War, in which he was opposed by the forces of Parliament and by Puritans, who were hostile to his religious policies and Catholic sympathy. Charles was defeated in the first Civil War (1642 - 1645), after which Parliament expected him to accept demands for a constitutional monarchy. He instead remained defiant by attempting to forge an alliance with Scotland and escaping to the Isle of Man. This provoked a second Civil War (1648 - 1649) and a second defeat for Charles, who was executed for high treason. The monarchy was then abolished and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared. Charles's son, Charles II, became King after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Mary I''' (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 19 July 1553 until her death.<br />
<br />
Mary, the fourth Tudor monarch, is remembered for restoring England from the Protestantism of her father to Roman Catholicism. She executed 300 Protestants in her reign, leading to the nickname Bloody Mary. She was succeeded by her half-sister Elizabeth I.<br />
<br />
== Childhood ==<br />
<br />
Mary was the only surviving offspring of Henry VIII and his first wife [[Catherine of Aragon]].Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. She was born at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, [[London]], on Monday 18 February 1516. <br />
<br />
Mary was educated by the Spanish scholar Juan Luis Vives in [[Latin]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[science]], and [[music]]. When Mary was nine years old, Henry gave her her own court at Ludlow Castle and the title of Princess of Wales, usually only reserved for male heirs. In 1526, Mary was sent to [[Wales]] to preside over the Council of Wales and the Marches. <br />
<br />
Henry tried to have his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled by the Church when no male heirs were produced, but Pope Clement VII refused. In 1533, Henry married [[Anne Boleyn]], and Thomas Cranmer, the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], formally declared the marriage with Catherine void and the marriage with Anne valid. Henry then broke with the [[Roman Catholic Church]] and declared himself head of the [[Church of England]]. Catherine lost the dignity of being queen and became Princess Dowager of Wales. Mary was deemed illegitimate, and her place in the line of succession transferred to her half-sister, the future Elizabeth I, daughter of Anne Boleyn. She was styled "Lady Mary" rather than princess because of her illegitimate status.<br />
<br />
Mary was expelled from Court, her servants dismissed from her service, and she was forced to serve as a lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth. Mary was not permitted to see her mother Catherine, nor attend her funeral in 1536. <br />
<br />
Anne Boleyn lost royal favour and was beheaded in 1536. Within two weeks of Anne Boleyn's execution, Henry married [[Jane Seymour]], who died shortly after giving birth to a son, the future Edward VI of England. Mary was godmother to her half-brother Edward and chief mourner at Jane Seymour's funeral. In return, Henry agreed to grant her a household, and Mary was allowed to reside in Hatfield House, the Palace of Beaulieu and Richmond,. She was later awarded the Palace of Beaulieu as her own. When Mary reminded Henry VIII of Catherine of Aragon, he banished her to Beaulieu. <br />
<br />
In 1547, Henry died and was succeeded by his son, Edward VI. Since Edward was still a child, rule passed to a regency council of Protestants, who attempted to establish [[Protestantism]] throughout the country. It was only after Mary appealed to her cousin Charles V that she was allowed to worship the Roman Catholic faith.<br />
<br />
== Accession ==<br />
<br />
Edward did not want the crown to go to Mary, who would restore the Catholic faith; he planned to exclude her from the line of succession. Edward VI instead devised that he should be succeeded by [[Lady Jane Grey]], a granddaughter of Henry VIII's younger sister. It was during this time that Lady Mary stayed in the country to hold off a siege of the attacking armies. After nine days, however, a popular upwelling of support for Mary who was living at Framlingham Castle in Suffolk resulted in her being procliamed Queen, and Lady jane Grey was imprisoned in the [[Tower of London]]. She was crowned Queen Mary I on 1 October 1553.<br />
<br />
=== Marriage ===<br />
<br />
Mary next turned her attention to finding a husband and producing an heir to prevent the Protestant Elizabeth from succeeding to the throne. Her cousin Charles V suggested she marry his only son, Prince Philip of Spain. Their marriage at Winchester Cathedral on 25 July 1554 took place just two days after their first meeting.<br />
<br />
=== Pregnancy ===<br />
<br />
Mary, thinking she was pregnant, had thanksgiving services at the diocese of London in November 1554. This turned out to be the first of two phantom pregancies. Philip persuaded his wife to permit Elizabeth's release from house arrest, probably so that he would be viewed favourably by her in case Mary died during childbirth. After only fourteen months, Philip found an excuse to leave for Spain.<br />
<br />
=== Religion ===<br />
<br />
As Queen, Mary was very concerned about religious issues. She had always rejected the break with Rome instituted by her father and the establishment of Protestantism by Edward VI. She had England reconcile with Rome and Edward's religious laws were abolished by Mary. Numerous Protestant leaders were executed in the Marian Persecutions. Many rich Protestants chose exile, and around 800 left the country. The persecution lasted for almost four years. <br />
<br />
=== Foreign Policy ===<br />
<br />
Having inherited the throne of Spain upon his father's abdication, Philip returned to England from March to July 1557 to persuade Mary to support Spain in a war against France (the Italian Wars). As a result of her agreement to declare war, England became full of factions and Protestant pamphlets inflaming the country against the Spaniards. English forces fared badly in the conflict and as a result lost [[Calais]], England's sole remaining continental possession, on 13 January 1558.<br />
<br />
== Death ==<br />
<br />
Mary died at age 42 at St. James's Palace on 17 November, 1558. She was succeeded by her half-sister, who became Elizabeth I of England. Although her will stated that she wished to be buried next to her mother, Mary was interred in Westminster Abbey on 14 December in a tomb she eventually shared with Elizabeth. <br />

After nine days, however, a popular upwelling of support for Mary who was living at [[Framlingham Castle]] in [[Suffolk]] resulted in her being procliamed Queen, and Lady jane Grey was imprisoned in the [[Tower of London]]. She was crowned Queen Mary I on [[1 October]] [[1553]].<br />
<br />
=== Marriage ===<br />
<br />
Mary next turned her attention to finding a husband and producing an heir to prevent the Protestant Elizabeth from succeeding to the throne. Her cousin Charles V suggested she marry his only son, Prince Philip of Spain. Their marriage at [[Winchester Cathedral]] on [[25 July]] [[1554]] took place just two days after their first meeting.<br />
<br />
=== Pregnancy ===<br />
<br />
Mary, thinking she was pregnant, had thanksgiving services at the diocese of London in November 1554. This turned out to be the first of two phantom pregancies. Philip persuaded his wife to permit Elizabeth's release from house arrest, probably so that he would be viewed favourably by her in case Mary died during childbirth. After only fourteen months, Philip found an excuse to leave for Spain.<br />
<br />
=== Religion ===<br />
<br />
As Queen, Mary was very concerned about religious issues. She had always rejected the break with Rome instituted by her father and the establishment of Protestantism by Edward VI. She had England reconcile with Rome and Edward's religious laws were abolished by Mary. Numerous Protestant leaders were executed in the Marian Persecutions. Many rich Protestants chose exile, and around 800 left the country. The persecution lasted for almost four years. <br />
<br />
=== Foreign Policy ===<br />
<br />
Having inherited the throne of Spain upon his father's abdication, Philip returned to England from March to July 1557 to persuade Mary to support Spain in a war against France (the Italian Wars). As a result of her agreement to declare war, England became full of factions and Protestant pamphlets inflaming the country against the Spaniards. English forces fared badly in the conflict and as a result lost [[Calais]], England's sole remaining continental possession, on [[13 January]] [[1558]]. <br />
<br />
== Death ==<br />
<br />
Mary died at age 42 at [[St. James's Palace]] on [[17 November]], [[1558]]. She was succeeded by her half-sister, who became Elizabeth I of England. Although her will stated that she wished to be buried next to her mother, Mary was interred in [[Westminster Abbey]] on [[14 December]] in a tomb she eventually shared with Elizabeth. <br />

<div>'''Mary I''' (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 19 July 1553 until her death.<br />
<br />
Mary, the fourth Tudor monarch, is remembered for restoring England from the Protestantism of her father to Roman Catholicism. She executed 300 Protestants in her reign, leading to the nickname Bloody Mary. She was succeeded by her half-sister Elizabeth I.<br />
<br />
== Childhood ==<br />
<br />
Mary was the only surviving offspring of [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]] and his first wife [[Catherine of Aragon]].Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of [[Ferdinand II of Aragon]] and [[Isabella of Castile]]. She was born at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, [[London]], on Monday 18 February [[1516]]. <br />
<br />
Mary was educated by the Spanish scholar Juan Luis Vives in [[Latin]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[science]], and [[music]]. When Mary was nine years old, Henry gave her her own court at Ludlow Castle and the title of Princess of Wales, usually only reserved for male heirs. In 1526, Mary was sent to [[Wales]] to preside over the Council of Wales and the Marches. <br />
<br />
Henry tried to have his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled by the Church when no male heirs were produced, but Pope Clement VII refused. In 1533, Henry married [[Anne Boleyn]], and Thomas Cranmer, the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], formally declared the marriage with Catherine void and the marriage with Anne valid. Henry then broke with the [[Roman Catholic Church]] and declared himself head of the [[Church of England]]. Catherine lost the dignity of being queen and became Princess Dowager of Wales. Mary was deemed illegitimate, and her place in the line of succession transferred to her half-sister, the future Elizabeth I, daughter of Anne Boleyn. She was styled "Lady Mary" rather than princess because of her illegitimate status.<br />
<br />
Mary was expelled from Court, her servants dismissed from her service, and she was forced to serve as a lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth. Mary was not permitted to see her mother Catherine, nor attend her funeral in 1536. <br />
<br />
Anne Boleyn lost royal favour and was beheaded in 1536. Within two weeks of Anne Boleyn's execution, Henry married [[Jane Seymour]], who died shortly after giving birth to a son, the future [[Edward VI of England|Edward VI]]. Mary was godmother to her half-brother Edward and chief mourner at Jane Seymour's funeral. In return, Henry agreed to grant her a household, and Mary was allowed to reside in Hatfield House, the Palace of Beaulieu and Richmond,. She was later awarded the Palace of Beaulieu as her own. When Mary reminded Henry VIII of Catherine of Aragon, he banished her to Beaulieu. <br />
<br />
In 1547, Henry died and was succeeded by his son, Edward VI. Since Edward was still a child, rule passed to a regency council of Protestants, who attempted to establish [[Protestantism]] throughout the country. It was only after Mary appealed to her cousin Charles V that she was allowed to worship the Roman Catholic faith. <br />
<br />
== Accession ==<br />
<br />
Edward did not want the crown to go to Mary, who would restore the Catholic faith; he planned to exclude her from the line of succession. Edward VI instead devised that he should be succeeded by [[Lady Jane Grey]], a granddaughter of Henry VIII's younger sister. It was during this time that Lady Mary stayed in the country to hold off a siege of the attacking armies. After nine days, however, a popular upwelling of support for Mary who was living at [[Framlingham Castle]] in [[Suffolk]] resulted in her being procliamed Queen, and Lady jane Grey was imprisoned in the [[Tower of London]]. She was crowned Queen Mary I on [[1 October]] [[1553]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that targeted London's public transport system.. At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers and injured 700.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Attacks ==<br />
<br />The first bomb exploded on an eastbound Circle Line Underground train, travelling between Liverpool Street and Aldgate. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. The parallel track of the Hammersmith and City Line from Liverpool Street to Aldgate East was also damaged. <br />
<br />The second bomb exploded on the second carriage of a westbound Circle Line Underground train. The train had just left Edgware Road and was heading for Paddington. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. There were several other trains nearby at the time of the explosion, which were also damaged.<br />
<br />The third bomb exploded on a southbound Piccadilly Line Underground train, travelling between King's Cross St. Pancras and Russell Square. The bomb exploded about one minute after the train left King's Cross.<br />
<br />The final explosion occurred in Tavistock Square on a No. 30 double-decker bus travelling its route from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick. <br />
Earlier, the bus had passed through the King's Cross are and was diverted from its normal route by police, allegedly because of road closures in the King's Cross area. The explosion ripped the roof off the top deck of the vehicle and destroyed the back of the bus. Most of the passengers at the front are believed to have survived, including the driver, but those at the top and lower rear of the bus did not. By-standers were also injured by the explosion,<br />
<br />
<br />
== 21 July Failed Bombings ==<br />
<br />Exactly one week later, a second series of four explosions took place on the London Underground and a London bus. The detonators of all four bombs exploded, but none of the main explosive charges detonated, and there were no casualties: the single injury reported at the time was later revealed to be an asthma sufferer. All suspected bombers from this failed attack escaped from the scenes but were later arrested.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Memorial==<br />
<br />
On 7 July 2006, the country held a two-minute silence at midday to remember those who died in the bombings a year before. Plaques were unveiled at the tube stations where the bombs exploded and memorial services were held at each scene to pay tribute to the lives lost.<br />
<br />
== The Bombers ==<br />
<br />The following men are stated to have carried out the attacks:<br />
<br />Mohammed Sidique Khan (30) - Edgware Road Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Dewsbury with his heavily pregnant wife and young child. (Hasina Patel miscarried August 2005). <br />
<br />Shehzad Tanweer (22) - Aldgate Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Leeds with his mother and father working in a fish and chip shop. <br />
<br />Germaine Lindsay (19) - Russell Square 8.50 a.m. Lived in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire with his pregnant wife. <br />
<br />Hasib Hussain (18) - Tavistock Square 9.47 a.m. Lived in Leeds with his brother Imran and sister-in-law Shazia. <br />
<br /><br />
<br />Within hours after the attack, someone using the name "Nur al-Iman" and identified as a "new guest", posted a statement on the Al-Qal3ah website which claimed responsibility on behalf of "The Secret Organisation Group of Al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in Europe". The following is a translation of the statement:<br />
<br /><br />
<br />'''In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, Prophet Muhammad, Allah's peace be upon him.'''<br />
'''Nations of Islam and Arab nations: Rejoice, for it is time to take revenge against the British Zionist crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic Mujahideen [holy warriors] have carried out a blessed raid [ghazw] in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.'''' '''We have repeatedly warned the British government and people.''' '''We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our Mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid.''' '''We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused.''' '''Allah says: "If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly"'''<br />

<hr />
<div>The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that targeted London's public transport system.. At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers and injured 700.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Attacks ==<br />
<br />The first bomb exploded on an eastbound Circle Line Underground train, travelling between Liverpool Street and Aldgate. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. The parallel track of the Hammersmith and City Line from Liverpool Street to Aldgate East was also damaged. <br />
<br />The second bomb exploded on the second carriage of a westbound Circle Line Underground train. The train had just left Edgware Road and was heading for Paddington. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. There were several other trains nearby at the time of the explosion, which were also damaged.<br />
<br />The third bomb exploded on a southbound Piccadilly Line Underground train, travelling between King's Cross St. Pancras and Russell Square. The bomb exploded about one minute after the train left King's Cross.<br />
<br />The final explosion occurred in Tavistock Square on a No. 30 double-decker bus travelling its route from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick. <br />
Earlier, the bus had passed through the King's Cross are and was diverted from its normal route by police, allegedly because of road closures in the King's Cross area. The explosion ripped the roof off the top deck of the vehicle and destroyed the back of the bus. Most of the passengers at the front are believed to have survived, including the driver, but those at the top and lower rear of the bus did not. By-standers were also injured by the explosion,<br />
<br />
<br />
== 21 July Failed Bombings ==<br />
<br />Exactly one week later, a second series of four explosions took place on the London Underground and a London bus. The detonators of all four bombs exploded, but none of the main explosive charges detonated, and there were no casualties: the single injury reported at the time was later revealed to be an asthma sufferer. All suspected bombers from this failed attack escaped from the scenes but were later arrested.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Memorial==<br />
<br />
On 7 July 2006, the country held a two-minute silence at midday to remember those who died in the bombings a year before. Plaques were unveiled at the tube stations where the bombs exploded and memorial services were held at each scene to pay tribute to the lives lost.<br />
<br />

<br />The following men are stated to have carried out the attacks:<br />
<br />Mohammed Sidique Khan (30) - Edgware Road Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Dewsbury with his heavily pregnant wife and young child. (Hasina Patel miscarried August 2005). <br />

<hr />
<div>The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that targeted London's public transport system.. At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers and injured 700.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Attacks ==<br />
<br />The first bomb exploded on an eastbound Circle Line Underground train, travelling between Liverpool Street and Aldgate. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. The parallel track of the Hammersmith and City Line from Liverpool Street to Aldgate East was also damaged. <br />
<br />The second bomb exploded on the second carriage of a westbound Circle Line Underground train. The train had just left Edgware Road and was heading for Paddington. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. There were several other trains nearby at the time of the explosion, which were also damaged.<br />
<br />The third bomb exploded on a southbound Piccadilly Line Underground train, travelling between King's Cross St. Pancras and Russell Square. The bomb exploded about one minute after the train left King's Cross.<br />
<br />The final explosion occurred in Tavistock Square on a No. 30 double-decker bus travelling its route from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick. <br />
Earlier, the bus had passed through the King's Cross are and was diverted from its normal route by police, allegedly because of road closures in the King's Cross area. The explosion ripped the roof off the top deck of the vehicle and destroyed the back of the bus. Most of the passengers at the front are believed to have survived, including the driver, but those at the top and lower rear of the bus did not. By-standers were also injured by the explosion,<br />
<br />
<br />
== 21 July Failed Bombings ==<br />
<br />Exactly one week later, a second series of four explosions took place on the London Underground and a London bus. The detonators of all four bombs exploded, but none of the main explosive charges detonated, and there were no casualties: the single injury reported at the time was later revealed to be an asthma sufferer. All suspected bombers from this failed attack escaped from the scenes but were later arrested.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Memorial==<br />
<br />
On 7 July 2006, the country held a two-minute silence at midday to remember those who died in the bombings a year before. Plaques were unveiled at the tube stations where the bombs exploded and memorial services were held at each scene to pay tribute to the lives lost.<br />
<br />
== The Bombers ==<br />
<br />The following men are stated to have carried out the attacks:<br />
<br />Mohammed Sidique Khan (30) - Edgware Road Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Dewsbury with his heavily pregnant wife and young child. (Hasina Patel miscarried August 2005). <br />
<br />Shehzad Tanweer (22) - Aldgate Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Leeds with his mother and father working in a fish and chip shop. <br />
<br />Germaine Lindsay (19) - Russell Square 8.50 a.m. Lived in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire with his pregnant wife. <br />
<br />Hasib Hussain (18) - Tavistock Square 9.47 a.m. Lived in Leeds with his brother Imran and sister-in-law Shazia. <br />
<br /><br />
<br />Within hours after the attack, someone using the name "Nur al-Iman" and identified as a "new guest", posted a statement on the Al-Qal3ah website which claimed responsibility on behalf of "The Secret Organisation Group of Al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in Europe". The following is a translation of the statement:<br />
<br />''In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, Prophet Muhammad, Allah's peace be upon him. <br />
''Nations of Islam and Arab nations: Rejoice, for it is time to take revenge against the British Zionist crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic Mujahideen [holy warriors] have carried out a blessed raid [ghazw] in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.'''' We have repeatedly warned the British government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our Mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid. <br />
We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused. <br />
Allah says: "If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly"'' <br />
The quotation at the end of the statement is from the Qur'an, in Sura 47:7. The translation of the quotation given here is by Abdullah Yusuf Ali.''<br />

<hr />
<div>The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that targeted London's public transport system.. At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers and injured 700.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Headline text ==<br />
<br />The first bomb exploded on an eastbound Circle Line Underground train, travelling between Liverpool Street and Aldgate. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. The parallel track of the Hammersmith and City Line from Liverpool Street to Aldgate East was also damaged. <br />
<br />The second bomb exploded on the second carriage of a westbound Circle Line Underground train. The train had just left Edgware Road and was heading for Paddington. The train had left King's Cross St. Pancras about eight minutes earlier. There were several other trains nearby at the time of the explosion, which were also damaged.<br />
<br />The third bomb exploded on a southbound Piccadilly Line Underground train, travelling between King's Cross St. Pancras and Russell Square. The bomb exploded about one minute after the train left King's Cross.<br />
<br />The final explosion occurred in Tavistock Square on a No. 30 double-decker bus travelling its route from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick. <br />
Earlier, the bus had passed through the King's Cross are and was diverted from its normal route by police, allegedly because of road closures in the King's Cross area. The explosion ripped the roof off the top deck of the vehicle and destroyed the back of the bus. Most of the passengers at the front are believed to have survived, including the driver, but those at the top and lower rear of the bus did not. By-standers were also injured by the explosion,<br />
<br />
<br />
== 21 July Failed Bombings ==<br />
<br />Exactly one week later, a second series of four explosions took place on the London Underground and a London bus. The detonators of all four bombs exploded, but none of the main explosive charges detonated, and there were no casualties: the single injury reported at the time was later revealed to be an asthma sufferer. All suspected bombers from this failed attack escaped from the scenes but were later arrested.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Memorial==<br />
<br />
On 7 July 2006, the country held a two-minute silence at midday to remember those who died in the bombings a year before. Plaques were unveiled at the tube stations where the bombs exploded and memorial services were held at each scene to pay tribute to the lives lost.<br />
<br />
== The Bombers ==<br />
<br />The following men are stated to have carried out the attacks:<br />
<br />Mohammed Sidique Khan (30) - Edgware Road Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Dewsbury with his heavily pregnant wife and young child. (Hasina Patel miscarried August 2005). <br />
<br />Shehzad Tanweer (22) - Aldgate Tube 8.50 a.m. Lived in Leeds with his mother and father working in a fish and chip shop. <br />
<br />Germaine Lindsay (19) - Russell Square 8.50 a.m. Lived in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire with his pregnant wife. <br />
<br />Hasib Hussain (18) - Tavistock Square 9.47 a.m. Lived in Leeds with his brother Imran and sister-in-law Shazia. <br />
<br /><br />
<br />Within hours after the attack, someone using the name "Nur al-Iman" and identified as a "new guest", posted a statement on the Al-Qal3ah website which claimed responsibility on behalf of "The Secret Organisation Group of Al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in Europe". The following is a translation of the statement:<br />
<br />''In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, Prophet Muhammad, Allah's peace be upon him. <br />
Nations of Islam and Arab nations: Rejoice, for it is time to take revenge against the British Zionist crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic Mujahideen [holy warriors] have carried out a blessed raid [ghazw] in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters. <br />
We have repeatedly warned the British government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our Mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid. <br />
We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused. <br />
Allah says: "If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly" <br />
The quotation at the end of the statement is from the Qur'an, in Sura 47:7. The translation of the quotation given here is by Abdullah Yusuf Ali.''<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''British National Party (BNP)''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] political party. Though it is generally described as being on the extreme right or [[fascism|fascist]] wing of politics, it espouses a number of fiscally left-wing policies. For example, although it is favour of repatriating non-white people from the UK, it also favours substantial government involvement in the [[economy]]. Other BNP policies include the reintroduction of [[capital punishment]] for murder, rape and paedophilia, the introduction of corporal punishment for vandals and 'hoodies' and the withdrawal of the UK from the [[European Union]]. The BNP also supports the recriminalisation of homosexuality.<br />
<br />
During the 1980s and 1990s, the BNP had strong ties to Neo-Nazi and anti-semetic groups. However the party has now accepted Jewish members and instead focuses on the 'islamification' of Britain and is actively hostile towards Muslims and Islam in general. Chairman Nick Griffin described Islam as a 'wicked, vicious faith'.<br />
<br />
The BNP's representation in the UK is entirely at the local level. It has no representatives in [[Parliament]], nor in any of Britain's regional legislatures or the [[European Parliament]].<br />
<br />
The BNP's current leader is [[Nick Griffin]].<br />

<div>[[Image:Tower bridge London.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Tower Bridge in London.]] <br />
'''London''' is the capital of [[England]] and the [[United Kingdom]] and is the largest city in [[Europe]]. It includes both the City of London (the Square Mile) and Greater London.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
London was founded by the [[Romans]] as Londinium, and became the capital of [[England]] (taking over from [[Winchester]]) during the reign of [[William II]]. It grew steadily during the [[middle ages]], during which period it became a major port, specializing in the export of English wool.<br />
<br />
In the [[Renaissance]], London became a centre of learning and culture, though the rise of [[Puritanism]] soon put a stop to this. <br />
<br />
During the period of the [[British Empire]], London was a key transhipment point for various cargoes, including [[tea]], [[slaves]], [[molasses]], [[jute]], and [[silver]], indeed, anything traded in by the [[East India Company]].<br />
<br />
During [[World War II]], London was heavily bombed by Germany's air force in the London Blitz.<br />
<br />
==Government of London==<br />
London is governed by the Mayor of London (currently [[Ken Livingstone]]), a post not to be confused with that of Lord Mayor of London, which relates solely to the small [[City of London]] district. The mayor's executive is subject to scrutiny by the [[Greater London Assembly]]<ref>http://www.london.gov.uk/</ref>. Most matters relating to local government - local planning control, housing, education, libraries and arts, refuse collection,. etc - are controlled by London's 33 local authorities: 32 London Boroughs, and the [[City of London]] Corporation<ref>http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/doc.asp?doc=8788&cat=989</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Popular Perception==<br />
Although London is frequently depicted in the American media as a quaint and historic city perpetually shrouded in fog, the reality is that London is a modern city at the cutting edge of developments in architecture, transport, commerce, industry and entertainment, and fog is a rare occurrence. In fact London is considered by many to be the financial capital of the world, and one of the world's premier cities<ref>{{cite web | last = Z/Yen Limited | title = The Competitive Position of London as a Global Financial Centre | publisher = CityOfLondon.gov.uk | date = November 2005 | url = http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/131B4294-698B-4FAF-9758-080CCE86A36C/0/BC_RS_compposition_FR.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 2006-09-17}}</ref><ref>[http://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/citymap.html The World According to GaWC], GaWC, [[Loughborough University]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
Notable landmarks include the [[Houses of Parliament]], The [[London Eye]], [[Buckingham Palace]] and [[Westminster Abbey]]. The [[London Underground]] (London's subway system, also known as the Tube) is the oldest in the world.<br />
