One has to ask why the British government and Foreign Office have to subject Her Majesty to this indignity. On this trip, the Queen has had to sit through quranic recitations, the lot. Do we make members of the Turkish government sit through a Christian service in St Paul’s Cathedral or Westminster Abbey when they come on a state visit to Britain? I think we all know the answer to that! - ©Mark
