If Omar thinks marring this womanis going to get him into the UK he doesn't know what he's thinking. They turned my husband away at Heathrow when he tried to visit his "friend" for an undisclosed amount of time, he ia a US citisen. I wil lbe eternally greatful for the government of the UK for the fact that they have very stringent rules for entering the country and getting a visa. This woman has had 5 husbands and now has "married" one that is the age of her children. She needs help. He is using her and she is desperate and lonely. HE is also already married so her marriage doesn't count. Sounds like a big publicity stunt to romanticize terrorism.

Me, SL, USA

ok,they saying both of them love each other,if you love someone you will sacrifice right? so why don't Mrs. Browne-Osama live in Saudi Arabia with Omar, i think they will live happily there without worries that people will think not good about there marraige intentions.

Blake, Manila,

No one should be judged on the actions of their fathers. To say this is to say that Americans be blamed for the crimes of slavery or the slaughter of Native Americans commited by their fathers.

Nick, Detroit, MI

This is just gross. a few years difference- why not ?but a whole lifetime? 24 years - and she's not curious as TO WHY a deadly terrorist want to visit Britain? Wake up grandma - thank god she's not an American! Blood is thicker than water... no matter what.

Chris, Palm Springs, California, USA

I think many people on here keep referring to their age difference without realizing that some people younger do like older. I know as my husband was half my age, came from Canada, and we lasted 14 years & are still friends to this day. He was not from a middle eastern country & he supported himself. However, in this situation from what I've read I would question their motives. Then again, maybe he likes the idea of a younger woman & an older one? Who knows or cares? If the law of Britain forbids such marriages then why are you even worried about his chances to enter within it? However, to equate him as being like his father is ridiculous as if thats the case then every person who has a relative thats done any type of crime would be considered rapists, or killers too, dependent on the crime they did! For those attacking Islam or Muslims, being a Christian, might I remind you we have not been without fault? Spanish Inquisition ring a bell? Hatred = Hate so stop insulting their beliefs

Tylicia, Port Hope , Canada

?
is polygomy ok in Britain? if not, she's illegally married?

Jannah, ontairo, canada

I think that she have chose love over every other things.
And she is right. I hope they will have happy life toghether.
Insha'Allah

xx, dbafbahgb,

If her husband moves to be with her, what about his responsibilites of fatherhood? Is it ok that this child would be without a father actively paticipating in his life. Or are the desires of this man and woman more important?

Rhonda, Saint Louis, MO, USA

Mrs Felix B. has the right to chose or love whoever she wants. I think that no one should laugh at her or condemn her for getting married to Bin Laden's son.
We live in the 21st century, the world is gouwn up, we shpourl not judge people for their parents misbehaviour.

Congratulations to the couple.

Diallo, Conakry, Guinea

She wanted the attention, and she got it!!!!!

I hope her 7th husband will be Osama Bin Laden, she is going to get more attention!!!!!

Weird British people, they have grown up in the FOG, that's why, not much sun, deficiency of vitamin D!!!!!

ina, new york, usa

i predict that her 7th husband would be Osama Bin Laden !!!!!

ina, ma, usa

julie,no one said he has 7wives,i wish them all the luck .cant go blameing him for what his father is or who he is,

claire, lanarkshire, scotland

I just would like to clarify for Peter, arthus that he is totally mistaken when it comes to his opinion about divorced women. Divorce is allowed in Islam if the two parties have ireeconcilable differences and it is in no way consider "dirty". Divorce is preferrably avoided if martial problems could be worked out so please do not make an opinion without proper research and knowledge about a subject.

About the marriage , its an individual and personal matter between the two and i don't think we should find any connection between Osama's son marrying a brit.

Ikky, Harrisburg,

I would not worry, the British goverment will not give him a passport.
I congratulate the couple, and hope they (all 3) will be happy ever after. After all the son may not be like his father. Give him a chance.

I just find 2 things strange:
1) Why would a muslim marry a divorced woman? For muslims, divorced women are "dirty".
2) Why is this woman claiming "we will never know" if Osama Bin Laden did the 9/11? We might know one day, will we not?

Peter, Aarhus, Denmark

I think the fact that she has been married five times and he has seven wives says it all really - true love? I think not.

Julie, London,

jeff from atlanta and kara from india--i applaud your comments.

janey, london,

How is it that " 'Omar doesn’t know if it was his father who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks'", and how can Jane Felix-Browne write, "' I don’t think we will ever know' ”? The last time I checked, Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for 9/11. This willing suspension of disbelief --a narcissitic disregard for black and white facts in order to digest a fiction that suits your own reality much better--is deeply disturbing. The son is not the father--fine. But to engage in revisionism? Unacceptable.

janey, london,

I don't believe that this is a "true marriage of love." Certainly more like well planned and arranged one. A political move., protected by "human rights". Bin Laden Jr will be able to come to Britain, will become "an icon for political causes"and all thanks to his 6 times married and 24 year older bride...and this woman is working as a parish councillor
Afganistan's supressed and abused women and children need help...Lots of scope for a good coucillor there. Mrs. Jane Felix -Browne , with her new husband,should settle there.

Gunilla Douglas, Schloss Langenstein, Germany

She could apply for the same nationality as her husband.

natalia, london, UK

I certainly wish them both luck and happiness, but not in this country please.
If their relationship was real she should go and live with him and his other wife in Saudi Arabia.

She will get a chance to see how much they love each other.

natalia, london, UK

The government has admitted that it "hasn't got a clue" how many illegal immigrants are in the United Kingdom. I don't think most people would be very surprised if Mr Bin Laden Jr has been in the UK already without the government's knowledge. It is incredibly naive to think that just because of Mr Bin Laden Jr's rightly infamous family name, that as soon as he nears British territory all kinds of sirens go off and the police descend upon the point of entry immediately to prevent it. That simply doesn't happen. But Britain is unfortunately learning the hard way that such naivety regarding who we allow into the country is a recipe for multiple disasters which could easily have been avoided. It is truly criminal that the government values the "human rights" of foreign terrorists to whom it has no obligation over the safety of its own citizens whom they are charged with protecting from such evils. They have betrayed the most fundamental of their elected responsiblities.

J Mathers, Bristol, England

Firstly in response to those who point out that polygamy is legal under islamic law, under British law, polygamy (or bigamy) is illegal, so as it stands he will never knowingly be allowed to enter Britain. Secondly, should Omar Ossama bin Laden decide to divorce his first wife, and re-locate to the UK, contrary to popular belief, they would find it very difficult for him to gain legal status here. As well as going through numerous interviews etc, she would have to financially support him for at least two years, as he would not be allowed to work. My own opinion is that providing there is indisputable evidence that he has had no association with any terrorist plots whatever, (and please people remember there were numerous Al-Qaeda bombings before 9/11 and certainly before 2000 when Mr bin Laden claims to have left Afghanistan) then their relationship is frankly none of my business, since Mrs Felix-Brown willingly entered a polygamous marriage, although she is no feminist...

Stephanie, London, England

From the point of view, the Democracy and Love can't be applicable in some points...As Jane Felix-Browne met her dream in Love trying to show it to the world of democracy...

All I can say, Good Luck for Them, they choose the right way, although they are experiencing hardiness to adjust from Democracy Point of View...

Arnobie, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Adam Bradford has a great point. Polygamy is illegal in the United Kingdom so Jane Bin Laden's husband will have to officially drop one of his wives if he wants to come here. Islam does allow for divorce - whichever wife Mr Bin Laden chooses. They are perfectly at liberty to come and enjoy our tolerant democratic society which is the result of Protestant Christian overcoming of royal and religious tyranny - just as long as they respect the law. I suppose you can't blame them for not wanting to live in Saudi Arabia the home of Islam. Perhaps they could contemplate the reason why this is while they are enjoying their freedom here.

J Mathers, Bristol, England

Jane Digby (1807-1881), from Dorset England, had a similar life...did anyone noticed?

Congratulation to them!

KINGSLEY GWAZA, LILONGWE MALAWI ,CENTRAL AFRIC, malawi

It is aboslutely hilarious that Bin Laden's son would want to marry exactly the kind of woman that Muslims claim they despise! (This woman isn't exactly noted for her high morality and deep religious convictions - nor is she averse to painting herself with makeup). I think this should give the more naive among westerners a great insight into Islamist's real motives behind wanting so much attention in the west and their reasons for wanting to conquer it. But then anyone who has read about the behaviour of Muslims in the Spanish or Balkan conquests or that of the Barbary pirates already knows this.

Let's let all the muslims into our country to live amonst us and try to take over, maybe be apart of our government, oops that's already happening.

Shane, Hollywood, Florida

It could well be that Ms Felix-Browne has a very high standard in marriage and the previous 5 failed attemts are testimony to those standards not being met. A 27 year old from another world might just be abl to fulfill her dreams and make her a very happy woman. What a lovely story of love and romance..

Stuart Murray, Amsterdam, Netherlands

It is obvious that Jane Felix-Browne has made a few million pounds with her story sold to the media. Iif the marriage breaks up she can also sell her sob-story for millions. Now every step of development in her life, the hardship or failure of her husband getting a British pass and so forth will be news which are saleable for lots of money. Smart 51 year old grandma. It is now or never to become rich. Probably she was too naiv in her younger days to grab such a chance...but now she realise it´s high time to make fast bucks. Don´t everyone agree with my point of view??

Janine, Stockholm, Sweden

I don't see the marriage being legal in the UK since he already has a wife.

Kris, River Rouge, MI USA

ooooh everyone has so much to say. Is there romance really bothering you? is it putting less food on your table, has Ikea raised the price of your table, did your kid get cancer from knowing this story?

will a terrorist really blow you up because of this story. Have you found out yet why they want to blow others up. people who FEEL injustice has been done to them throughout the ages have fought or tried to have fought. When your kid grows upto be a teenager he/she's gonna hate you, but still deep inside care for you. You have to believe in them and show them the right path or Listen to their problems, not generalize and act, but listen and act.

Get a perspective.

shadab, dhaka, bangladesh

Amusing how all the Muslims on this page approve. I'm sure if it was a middle-aged Saudi woman marrying a young British man and converting to Christianity they'd all be crying for an honour killing. As the little girl from the Simpsons says: 'Marriage is a 3 month commitment', well, this kind is.

George, Manchester, England

A bit of a non story really - all I thought was that this lady reminds me of the Catherine Tate character who married an Egyptian swindler in one of the sketches, after a short marriage to a prisoner on Death Row.

Bel T, Smethwick,

I can't help thinking that this woman is being incredibly naive. Parentage aside - this man is looking for a UK visa and is already married to another woman . On that basis alone , he should not be allowed in as it breaks our bigamny laws.

S Baker, Brighton,

Sadly it is all too common for elderly western women to fall for the kindness and beauty of young arab men in Egypt. Something must be lacking in their lives for this to happen in the first place. More harm is done to the young impressionable men and their families however than to the sad women who are rejuvenated by this attention. Vist Luxor or Aswan and you will see many similar situations albeit not so many young men sired by a charismatic terrorist.

Joan, London, UK

would it be the same lets say in 1943 Hitlers son married a english woman and wanted to live in England?

rick, Houston,

To 'A girl - Cairo'.

The one true religion of God you say? And how exactly do you know this? Whilst I am all for people having thier own opinions, please base them in reason and not say things you cant back up. This is not a diatribe against Islam, religions in general are untested and based in 'faith', not fact. Therefore, statements should be based as such.

This woman appears to think the public will just say, oh, because its Love, thats ok, he can come here and have all the benefits that go with it. You would also think she would have learned a little from her past marriages and seems to jump in too deep too quickly. If I were one of her kids, I'd be horrified to say the least. In practical terms though, her husband should not be given a visa. Exactly how much of the tax payers money would be spent protecting him while he is here for instance?

JW, SouthWest, UK

I live about 2 miles away...and i hope to god for the safety of britain they don't let this man in...she loves him so much she knows hes tarnished so why doesnt she go to his country ... and not risk the lives of britons including her own family and friends...which just proves the slefishness of her actions,...i knwo im only young but i hope home office knwo what they are letting themselves in for and they shud begin to step up their game because a small slip up of leting this guy in could risk the future safety fo britain

tbabe, cheshire,

If it is true that she proposed to him it seems to me blatently obvious that he agredd to marry her as he would view her as his passport into the UK. This man should not be allowed in under any circumstances given his connections, I doubt he can be trusted.

viv, London, england

Now, just let's be objective here ...
Just why would a 27 year old man, already married, fall for a 51 year old woman?

Kaunain Shahidi, New Delhi,

Wishing her every happiness in living in Saudi Arabia but not in the UK.

Britain, Britain,

To Seppo in London - well said! John in Singapore really needs to have an attitude adjustment, we don't need to "get rid of Muslims" as he stated, you can't blame all Muslims just for a few extremists. The majority of Muslims are peace-loving individuals and blaming them all for the actions of the extremists is a big mistake. Did we blame the whole of Ireland for the IRA when they were bombing over here? Of course not! I do find it quite worrying that a lot of the comments on this site are totally anti-Muslim, I'm hoping that the majority of my countrymen aren't so bigoted and it's just a few empty-headed BNP supporters that have been unfortunately let out for the evening.

Saying that though, I personally wouldn't want Osama Bin Laden's son living next door to me. I don't believe he should be blamed for his father's sins, but at the same time I don't want to take the chance that some of his views may have rubbed off on his offspring.

Nicola, Ilford, England

i live in the same village as this lady, n i understand that you cant help who u fall in love with, bt if he does move to moulton, it would be quite a worry, just because of his links. we shall see how this unravels. hopefully all will be safe and happy.

Vicky, moulton, cheshire, uk,

i think she should join her husband and never go back to britain. let her learn what islam when in action is and how women are treated.

srusht salih, irbil, kurdistan

this woman does not know what she wants or who she really is, which is sad for 51 years of age. She seems mentally unstable and is probably using Bin Laden for his money. Why not, I am sure it's more than love for Omar as well. But, I am sure of this - once she gets to S.A. the honey moon will soon be over, especially when Omar stops visiting her so often and she decides to have a fit of jealousy. Don't think that will go over too well. She need to get on some medication.

Janice, Frederick, USA/Maryland

Why do you think this man is panning to get a British passport? He is living in a warm, beautiful, historical, holly and rich country where the sun is rising from 4 o’clock till 9 o’clock. At least he doesn’t need an umbrella!! Wake up..Middle East is a heaven.

Truthlover , Bristol , UK

This looks like a marriage of convinience, after all Ms. Felix-Browne has been married five times and atleast to a Muslim Gentleman once before. Why go to Egypt to be treated for MS.
Ms. Browne should be investigated together with her previous husband's theie CV's may make interesting reading.

Vinay, London, UK

Nice to take a break from reality now and then. I feel sorry for her children...

malcolm, Bragg Creek, Canada

This story reminds me a movie : Notorious (A. Hitchcock) : "She says that their fairytale romance began when her future husband saw her riding a horse near the Great Pyramid".... You'll be able to interrogate him and have more information ("He saw at first hand the creation of al-Qaeda and its techniques"). Or Let her new wife have information for you, my dearest good fellows ("He is constantly watching people who he feels might be following him. Not without reason he is fearful of cameras. “But when we are together he forgets his life.”)......

Ann, L.,

Hahaha, some very amusing comments, but I think people should think abit more about this...are the British government really going to give this man a passport? I do not think so, well not with the great British public on their backs. If she has claimed to have fallen in love, thats great for her, but I do not think her love story will get her as far to get Omar into the country.
So not really a reason to vote BNP i don't think, and perhaps this story does not reflect a 'hippy' government, and should not be used to criticise the immigration in our country. That kind of scapegoating should be used for a more relevant article.

nc, Birmingham, UK

How naive and silly - if she really loved him she would be with him. Sounds like a novel by Jilly Cooper!

Jennifer Dawson, Exeter,

This naive stupid woman should go back to Egypt where her so called husband is living; there she really would be able to put her love for this man to the test. She will be back within a few months and the question if he should get a visa to enter the UK would be solved!

Andres, London, UK

I think she's a deluded attention-seeker who married him precisely for the enormous stink it's caused - he seems bemused by the whole furore, she's the one who apparently sold the story to the papers and is milking it for all it's worth. I most loved the bit about her "campaigning to bring peace to the Middle East" - we're all agog with anticipation and I should think that the various factions in Iraq, Lebanon, etc will be laying down their arms even now, knowing that a six-times married English granny is going to tell them how to bring harmony and an end to warfare to the region. As for those warning "he'll come to Britain for a flat and benefits," he's a member of one of the richest families in the Middle East (and there's A LOT of competition here) and owns his own business (which I should think is pretty much a pocket money exercise, given the Bin Laden family's wealth) and he's going to give that up to get a council flat and live on the dole in Britain? Er, right....

Rose , Hawalli , Kuwait

Didn't they make a movie about this once? I think it was called, "The Cairo Spring of Mrs. Felix-Browne." Jane even looks a little bit like Vivien Leigh in her older years.

If he married her with a view to gaining easier entry to this country, surely his status as a bigamist would mean the marriage is unrecognised by this country and he, therefore, unable to obtain any privileges from it?

On the same day that we learn of an Iranian man being stoned to death for adultery, this news item really does take the biscuit! How much madder can the world get?

J.Fletcher, Canterbury, UK

I can see a very good reason to grant Omar a British passport, as a matter of fact now that he is the husband of a British subject he should be invited by the government. Once there, it should not be very difficult for the government to find a way to extract his father's address.

Rick James, Toronto, Canada

I just hope she can explain herself to those serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and to the families of every victim of Al Qaeda's atrocities.

This story is in truly the most appalling taste imaginable. If this had happened during World War II she'd be have been arrested and tried for fraternising with the enemy.

To excuse her actions because she's 'in love' shows how dangerous Westerners have become to themselves.

NM, Singapore,

I don't think Omar should be allowed to come to Britain,indeed the couple is entitled to the sort of life that they want but I agree with the fact that blood is thicker than water,possibly Omar's arrival in England would potentially pose a bigger threat to all Britons at large.
Islam is about peace and moderation,indeed those who do not practise the sentiments correctly and support terrorism should be ashamed of themselves,in particular when it affects others' viewpoint of this beautiful religion.

Fingers crossed. Lets hope Home Office refuse his application. This is sheer madness. If she is really in love with him and has has changed her name to an islamic one then why doesn't she go all the way and move to eygpt. Maybe she will even share the same house as his first wife.

Yep, it appears she is an attention seeker. I blame the parents for allowing her to marry at 16. As I recall one cannot get married without parental consent under the age of 18. You at least need permission from a magistrates' court to get married at 16. She needs to grow up.

Sujeewa, London,

"And Congratulations For Her Revertion To Islam.The True Religion Of God.And The Religion Of peace."

So can't they be charged with polygamy? Just because that is legal within Islam doesn't mean we have to accept it!

Adam Bradford, London,

This mature woman can marry whom she chooses, and ride off into the sunset. The issuing of a visa is a different matter and given the family connections of Omar, he should be refused entry to the UK in total. Omar was 21 years old at the time of 9/11.

Mark Harris, Swansea, Wales

Some reading these comments may be wondering what a 'revert' is, a term mentioned by some Muslims here. Islam conditions them to believe that everyone is born a Muslim and if they find themselves later existing as a non-Muslim, it is because their evil parents and culture have made them apostasise to follow evil. This is why they will even use force to convert people to Islam against their will, as we have seen throughout the history of the expansion of Islam. Instead of a true spiritual experience of the divine, it means simply making a confession that Islam is the only truth from which the penalty from apostasising if you later change your mind is death. This is the 'crime' of Salman Rushdie in their eyes. How barren this is of true spiritual experience is plain for all to understand.

J.Mathers, Bristol, England

To the readers who categorizes this marriage as bigamy, or stating that this is adultery... This is not Bigamy, Since, Islam recognizes polygamous marriages. It is not adultery since the marriage has been consented by the former spouse and has been solemnized.

Perhaps this relationship is based on romance, but to allow a known associate and a close relative of Bin Ladin to set foot in UK would be a political disaster. More importantly this individual has admitted to have trained and seen the set up of Al qaeda first hand, perhaps the ggovernment officials may want to use his knowledge for accurate intel...

Maybe he's a nice guy, maybe he's not. Why should Britain take the risk? It seems that she is his only recommendation for entering Britain and - after 4 failed marriages - I don't think she has good intuition when it comes to blokes.
She's going to make a lot of people unhappy if he moves here - and I can't believe that his originial (first /current wife and children) family want to come here all that much either. Why doesn't she live there?
He obviously doesn't agree with the western way of life because he has more than one wife! I can't believe that he's neutral or pro-biritsh! Especially when you think that he was brought up by Osama Bin Laden. Which obviously would have effected him in some way. I truly can't see one reason why he should be allowed in this country.

i think that as a country we are already too open to terror attacks the goverment has made enough mistakes as it is so lets hope they dont add to it by giving this man a visa i also think she needs to wipe the rose tint from her glasses and see that the man is interested in britain more than her

concerned uk , uk , uk

She has been married 5 times before, and she proposed to him... she IS USING him for his money...

efaha, toronto, canada

In fact, I fight it rather a nice story
At least Omar is not involved in illegal activities, and if they are in love than it is thier business. And to all the haters on both sides . . eat your hearts out :)

Omar , USA,

Can't wait for the Coronation Street copycat storyline......50 something multiple divorcee goes on holiday to Egypt and marries an Arab she barely knows.....Sounds perfect for Deirdre Barlow....or is it Rashid.....oh hang on a minute....

Jon, Singapore
is that a notion that your religious faith has taught you? or should I assume that you have no faith, no conscience and are just as ruthless as the people in every walk of life that take innocent lives? To brand all muslims because of this crazy twisted story, or that small percentage of a very larger population, that are absolutely fanatical and irrational people who CALL themselves muslims, is in itself insanity.
I am a practicing american muslim, a women, a doctor, a mother, a wife, and I everyday live this surreal experience when i open the newpaper, turn on the tv and see this mockery that journalists, media, and "muslims" themselves have made of something that is inherently a sensical, logical, scientific way of life. But most would not know that, blindly being led to the water. The source of information available to the media is based on contradictions, misrepresentations, and manipulations of historical facts. And these lies persist. But what would u care.

NM, Singapore,

6 months. No, in kindness, 8 months. I give the marriage 8 months.

And I heartily look forward to the OK! colour spread.

Huw, London, UK

MS, I would posit, is perhaps the least of her problems.

Eric, Ottawa, Canada

why doesn't she just move to his country - they can live together in this so called happiness there

Stuart, South,

are all muslims terrorists?

I'm sure the security services will respect her wishes to a private life with the son of the most wanted man in the western world...

C, London,

Is this a joke? Wake up GB!!

Ash Deodhar, Mumbai, India

she spoke with his other wife for an hour and she is fine with it...? what a beautiful love story.

Zg, hampshire,

Her track record of 5 failed marriages speaks volumes for her choice in marriage partners and her character. No more need be said.

Jade, tripoli, Libya

If Ms. Felix-Browne loves her Omar so much, why didn't she live with him over there. Or is there an agenda here, like coming here to live with his other wife and claiming benefits.

gs, London, UK

'One more weird Brit '.

Gotta love the usual anglophobic racist Yank comments on this thread. Because of course your president hasnt had a thing to do with the Bin Laden family ever has he? lol!

Women marry murderers in prison and on death row, they freely dress up in burqas and bash other women up for not wearing them (Iran), they attach themselves to weirdo Christian cults in Waco, America and burn to death alongside their kids for love (killed more people than 7/7, that crazy american cult) So whats new.

Dawn, London,

British people are very intelligent, and she has made an intelligent choice. This is further proof that Islam is a peaceful religion for all ethnicities (not just arabs). Well done Mrs Felix-Browne ( Zaina Mohamad).

Abdul Ali, Tehran, Iran

I don't discourage following your heart when it comes to love, but it is quite evident that Ms. Felix-Browne has a very skewed perception of true love having been married 5 previous times. Age is just a number and two people should not remain apart just because of what others have to say about it, don't get me wrong. I do, however, believe that if she is so in love with Omar then she wouldn't want him to have to come to the UK and suffer the negative perceptions people will most likely have of him on a larger scale than perhaps in his home. Also, I don't believe he should get a Visa not because I blame him for his father's actions, but it is just too much of a risk. What if his father tries to contact him or come to find him? Maybe a longshot, but still a realistic possibility. Lastly, if her marriage is true love the only people who really need to know that are the couple themselves. International news makes it look like they (or she) did it just for the publicity.

Sarah, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a weak link in British security. We are putting the country’s security in the hands of someone who is just looking out for themselves. Everyone knows this is the new game in North Africa - marry a 'foreigner' and come to the west/ to the paradise. Besides actively seeking out the tourists - they are angling for foreign /western wives in the internet cafes, precisely to gain a visa to enter the modern world. Didn't Hamza the Blind Sheik also come in this way?
We are going to have to make some tough decisions - and seriously get more selective on who is allowed to emigrate - i.e. gain a passport to this country/ wider Europe. These Islamic men are preying on the very young women, who are easily convinced and the older women, who wants to be seen/or to feel attractive again. But this is a clear security risk and like the French this whole process under much more scrutiny. Possibly offer these newcomers temporary passports with restricted travel.

Robert C., London, UK

Oh dear.This lady has a string of broken marriages behind her at 51,this looks like another piece of exhibitionism to me.

Edwina Rigby, Chorley Lancashire, England

Beautiful young lady

Terence, london,

Sounds to me like he married a woman twice his age so he can get into Britain. I can't imagine why else a 27 year old with a wife and 2 year old child would marry a 51 year old. She's being played for a fool.

G.S., Hot Springs, AR, USA

i am related to her. well.. was!!lol!! i am glad that i am no longer anything to do with her.
it is not omar you need to worry about, but her!!
she is bent and twisted.
i am judging her, as i know her. v.well. so have the right to.
your comments are interesting, and you are all in one way or another probably right.
she has always wanted fame and fortune.that life style. this must of been her way of getting it..she used to brag in her local pub that she was married to him.where people would just tell her;
'it is not doing your credability any good!!'
she is self absorbed and thinks of nothing but herself. i think this one may have back fired on her. but to her credit, she has had many a schemes that have worked out pretty well in her favour.
she has already started to write her life story, in hope that when she is famous. that she will sell it and make fortunes.
they are both upto somthing and using each other. she only does things that will benefit herself.including marriage

x family, moulton, northwich, cheshire

While it may be true that only 1 in 5 Americans have passports, you need to put that into perspective. With a country 3000 miles wide, many Americans travel for work and pleasure -- and to many diverse American parts, the same way that Brits and Europeans used to travel with passports around Europe. Our jaunts from NY to Florida is akin to a London to Madrid trip for you. Sure, we do not have the international exposure -- but things are as different in NY and FL and Louisiana and California. So it is not like Americans are completely ignorant. However I will grant you that our foreign policy of late has been sadly disappointing -- but then again, we only know what we read in the press -- most of us do not know all the facts or have first hand knowledge of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or elsewhere. It is a tough world -- but by working together perhaps we can do some good -- and limit the bad. Any other suggestions on how to do things better are welcome. Debates are always good.

DAM, New York, US

wow - 'how to get rid of muslims' - ethnic cleansing all the way shall we?

I'm actually staggered by some of the comments. Some of you sound like utter bigots. Let us try and have some class about jumping on the band wagon and bashing the 'Muslims' shall we.

For a person living here since I was born, and having many 'foreign' friends, I can really symapathise with them when they constantly say degrading things in relation to English people and English culture. Often the word that comes to mind is bigot and I'm pretty tired of having to defend us.

Seba, Surrey, England

John from singapore you say "She may find she's in the same predicament in which the rest of the country finds itself; how to get rid of Muslims".

Is it not that people like yourself are breeding haterid with comments like that, your name is John and your in singapore i bet your not in your mother land! this earth was created for all of us the fact humens devided the world into gangs(countries and religions) is a show of are own pathetic stupidity, if aint causing no harm your alright with me" its not about were your from or what you believe in, its how you treat your fellow humen being.

the story above just shows no matter how much evil exists love can conquer all. remember there are leaders around the world killing thier own and no one says anything to them, lovers are the worlds peace makers.

Lee, Cardiff, wales

What an attention seeker, feel sorry for the poor deluded woman................it will end in tears!

Mary, London, UK

I loved the final paragraph..."Mrs Felix-Browne said that the couple hoped to use their position to help to heal the wounds caused by her father-in-law. “

Someone should consider making a move.....

MaSa, Jhb,

She said it all when she stated she "fell" in love with this man.
Anytime we fall in anything we are likely to be hurt.She should also change the word love for lust for that is far more likely to be the reality.
Love is only real when one rises in love.How can you possibly rise in love after only a short space of time?The short answer is you simply can't.
The fact that two thirds of marriages fail is testimony to this absurd notion.Love is the most incorrectly used word on the planet.
The problem with lust is the same as that with any other desire.It can never be fulfilled for more than a brief time.

James Currie, Yoga teacher, London, UK

Unbelievable! Why would a woman who was raised in Freedom seek the bondage of this type of marriage with all its religious fettering and restrictions? She has set herself back 1000 years.

PJD, Sugaloaf Key, Fl, USA

well, that is great.lets let whole bin Laden's family into uk! just explain that to the families of those who had lost their relatives in 9/11 or london's bombings.
with all respect

Denial ain't just a vacation in Egypt.

The chick is wacked.

Wil, Sullivan, Illinois

This would be a nice fantasy come true for me: A young active man and an old foreign lady of 51 years who wants to be young.

Dirty, indeed; but to marry her within a year of 'falling in love' with her?

May be Osama Jr. is trying to tell Osama Sr. and the rest of the community that he has grown up in the mold of the prophet Mohd (whom, incidentally, also married an old lady).

I wonder what her children and grandchildren are going to cope with the social pressures.

Kong Kek Kuat, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This woman is clearly idiotic but since thats obvious to all but the severely moronic, why the fuss?
As for the 'cross pond' sniping, c'mon people, every country has its problems but thats no reason to be so dismissive to general populations as a whole....
You can't judge the masses on the whims of the individual so be a little more smart with your postings and don't!

Blues, St. Austell, United Kindgom

Well, this marriage will soon enough have been her sixth one, because 27 and 51 don't comport too well for very long.

Nevertheless, we all have but one life to live.

And, if this is what makes this woman's life worth living at the moment, whose business but hers is it?

Michael Grable, SILVER SPRING, USA/MD

As a muslim myself i feel that a persons action should not be related to his or hers beleifs, infact it is down to that individual and not the entire nation or religeon.
My advice to John from Singapore would be "open your EYES and try to understand the situation before you open your mouth, is it fair to say that there is no difference between you and the Triads because you look the same??.
Congrats to felix-Browne may the future be bright and happy for you, you are absolutely right, you married omar and not his father.

Ahmed, Kent, U.K

DiscoDave, Tain, Scotland

I expect your children must be so proud Jane?!?!?! You should go and live there if you are so sure of your relationship, he should never be allowed to live here.

Anne , Bristol, UK

Really now, that is obviously John Cleese under that hijab. It is a wonder what the makeup artists can do these days. And that is Graham Chapman lurking behind the curtain. You lads need to stop this nonsense and quit planting stories like this in the Times.

Texpatriate, New Jersey, United States of America

What a credulous fool this woman appears to be. Look at the age difference for one thing and the fact that this marriage will complete a double hat-trick of weddings, let alone the past connections with the creed that has spawned such a vile disregard for humna life.
Given the appalling evil of the father and the terror he has brought to the lives of people of this country, it seems that, in Mrs Felix-Browne's case. love is truly blind.

Jon Mills, Manchester,

On the other hand, Omar might just be his fathers son in lots of respects. It wouldn't be the first time a woman has been mislead by a suitor who has a different agenda to her.

Brothers, sisters and more distant relatives may be idealogical strangers, but a son is more often deeply conditioned by his father. A number of his other sons have hardly distanced themselves from terrorism.

The plot also thickens rather when you consider reports that tell you that he has no intention of living with his british wife, being content to live with the one he has in Saudi Arabia.

But no doubt a watching brief will be maintained.

Mike Poulsen, Reading, Berkshire

Now all we need is to have the Bush girls marry Omar too and that make them numbers three and four in the eyes of the Prophet.

CCL, Topeka, Kansas, USA

Quick, appoint her as our new Ambassador to Iraq!

mike mason, London,

I am not british or an expert on british law - but since bigamy is illegal in UK the marriage may not be recognized by the UK to begin with - as such she will have 0% chance to get a visa for him on the basis of being married
She can of course move to an islamic country that recognizes poligamy and live there ever after happily
I wish them the best of luck

MS, NY, USA

Sounds like bin Laden's son recognized a willing dupe when he saw her.

She provides an easy entrance into the UK for him, that is all. Her ego might make her easily deceived, but the British people shouldn't be so easily snowed.

J Perry, Harmony, RI, US

You folks understand that what you are calling a "beautiful love story" is a polygamous marriage? Isn' t that illegal? Isn't that considered misogny? What about the two year old child from the first wife? What kind of society are you encouraging? OBL was traumatized by his father's treatment of his mother, who was tossed aside after a few passionate weeks of marriage. Polygamy is nothing but adultery in disguise. I am ashamed that the West, where women have come so far, is accepting this. IT is sick.

Kay, Anaheim, CA, USA

She should be placed in a padded cell for her own protection.

Zico, Newcastle-Upon_Tyne, UK

Urgggh !

I take special offence to even the thought of a scrap metal worker being able to gain entry to the UK regardless of who he is. What does he have to offer the country. As a Canadian and part of the Commonwealth, who was raised respecting the ideals of your beautiful country I am not allowed to gain a visa without some sort of BA, MBA or Doctorate. If this woman is so in love with her husband and respects his religion then let here go live with him !

Peggy Dominique, Ottawa, Canada

So sad, I did so much want to believe this was all in the name
of true love, but with five marriages behind her, and his fathers history,it is really going to be absolutely impossible for this relationship to pass any test.
I can comfortably say here that if this works out over time and proves to be true love, I will eat the proverbial hat.

K. Junaid, Sherwood, UK

A 51 year old woman marries for the 6th time. Her husband is 27, and already has another wife... That's the stuff of fairytales! This is hilarious!

Sasha, France,

Unless we have a crippling shortage of scrap metal dealers in this country, I see no reason for him to be allowed entry to the UK.

Chris Long, Thirsk, England

The woman is living in a dream world. Wake up you silly mare. No 'Bin Laden' should be allowed within 200 milesof the UK. If Osamer Bin Laden can infuence non believers into suicide bombing then a closer bond such as a son must provide an even stronger influential threat. Chuck her out of this country now!

Badrealam Patel, Minorplanet, Leeds, England

Like father like son, do not let this terrorist into this country.

Richard, London,

This story sounds like complete fantasy.

Don, Sydney, Australia

"fairytale romance".."beautiful love story"??...Do me a favour, shes been married 5 times, 25 years older than him. This relationship is many things, a fairytale romance it is not.

Jamie, City, London

Sad, deluded and spectacularly typical of a certain type of older British woman. Regardless of the bin Laden thing, she is just another older woman marrying a young middle-eastern half her age to make herself feel young. We have all met them, and turned our heads to laugh.

Adrian Seymour, Portsmouth,

would it not be kinder and safer to section this woman?

Must be true LOVE. I am sure this is the best love story for year 2007.

Linda, NarkonPathom, Thailand

What if Osama overules his son and wants her for himself?? It has happened before in the Gulf...

Kara Swart, Bangalore, India

I think one of the reasons he might not want to come and live over here is that last time I checked polygamy was still illegal.

AE, Prudhoe, Northumberland

This goverment has already given asylum to people who now plot to kill all of us .No way should this person and the man she has married be allowed in this country.As far as I am concerned this womab is a traitor and should be stripped of her Brirish citizenship her paaport withdrawn.

S Cronin, winchester, hants

What sort of medication do they give out for MS these days... Or is this a very cougar like move on her part? Either way this is just nuts!

Joe Singh, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Nina, Northampton, UK

I can't wait for the movie. Maybe the theme song will be something like this.

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Bin Laden Family.

Their house is a suicide bomb museum
Where Jihardists come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Bin Laden Family.

So get your Burqa shawl on
A camel you can ride on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Bin Laden Family.

Felicity, Zurich, Switzerland

I can't imagine anyone named 'Omar Ossama Bin Laden' will find it particularly easy to travel, with or without a British passport..... As for the woman at the centre of the story, dya wanna buy a car love? Only 30,000 miles on the clock, honest!

Mark, Birmingham, UK

Has The Times checked the validity of this story - I can't believe you have run with it?

Is anyone investigating Ms Brown for the crime of bigamy - if he has two wives was she divorced before this alleged marriage

Pauline , Warrington, Cheshire ,

Hang on - the article says he's already got one wife! I'm not sure this is a marriage that is going to be recognised under UK law....

Sue, London,

This is not a love story! It is another Briton looking for some sort of 'celebrity' life and an absolute embarrassment to our country.

L, Soton, Hampshire

Her choice, her life!

Shabz, Manchester, UK

Jenny, Manchester,

I doubt that love has anything to do with it but I could be wrong. This will be her 6th marriage; maybe she just has a lot more love to give. She's apparently spread it around in the past.

Ad, Nottingham, UK

I fail to see why this is newsworthy, but good for them. They haven't done anything and just want to live together, I wish them all the best.

ML, Oslo, Norway

Scandalous a man who's father has openly declared the distruction of the west. A man who imself lived amongst the Taliban and Sudanese groups that has spawned international terrorism.

How many people in England or anywhere else in the western world wish to have this man as a neighbour. You can all say yes, but he is only the son (he only fled Afganistan when the heat was about to be turned up)

English till i die, Stoke-on-Trent, England

How many more months before Moulton is twinned with Jeddah? Top that guardianistas!!!!!

Prabhat, UK,

You'd think after 5 failed marriages she'd have an idea of what not to go for....

Also I doubt that any woman is "fine" about home wrecking!

Good luck to you, but you will not be representing Britian in the fine womens' contest!

Noami, Lo, UK

We can't afford to be so naive- she must go and live there, but he should not be allowed to live here. It's bizarre she is selling this story considering she wants to protect the one "she loves" and is ibn hiding. I can't say if this is true love and Bin Laden's son may be a lovely caring man, but his father's views on Islam were dangerous. Can we afford to not judge?

Rachel, Surrey,

That will be nice, certainly a nice way for Bin Laden's son to get a British passport - for that will be the next step you may be sure; then, after a few weeks, he, equipped with a British passport, will apply to have his father living with him and the muddlers at immigration will issue him with a passport too; pretty soon after that we will have the whole bloody tribe here and there will be no-one left in Afghanistan.....at least we shall be able to bring our troops home from there so there are some benefits to be had.......

Derek Clifton, Andover, Hampshire, England

I doubt their marriage would be recognized in the UK as he's already married to someone else so certainly no British passport for him. anyway he's not seen his dad for years, Its more celeb gossip than news

Is this women having a laugh with the British public after all that has gone on recently. Why do these people kept wanting to come to the UK if not to stir up trouble !!!

hw, London, England

Binge drinking and promiscuous sex is good for you, according to New Orleans Journal Of Medicine. Judging from this the British are living the perfect life.

Soon we'll have studies of Shirley Valentine grannies marrying 20-year olds, serving as a medical referendum for the prolongment of life. For women that is.

Andrew, London, UK

"the difference between being rich and being wealthy - Shaq is rich but the man that signs his paycheque is wealthy"

and so it trickles down to -

the world's biggest terrorist is not Osama but the men that were funding his empire ( USA + super powers ).

Typical american comments - always insecure and ready to judge others. Grow up. Your president is more of a terrorist than anyone alive, your country is built on terrorist activities.
Speculation is that 9/11 was ochestrated by the US government itself, but i guess we'll never know the truth there.

Jane Rubin writes: 'Oy vey'. What's 'oy vey'? Is it perhaps 'Oy, Weh'. Is that then Yiddish? If you surf thru Huffington Post, is it recommended you know such expressions?

The way the expression has been used as an opener, it seems more like an interjection whose meaning may be more than the sum of its parts. Can Ms Rubin please enlighten?

Kalpana, Camden, New Jersey

If she really loves him then she should have no problems living in the middle east. While I agree that the son might be different why should the UK take the risk. During WW2 I doubt Britain would have given any of Hitlers or Gobbels offspring a citizenship. I don't see how this is different.

NEKP, New York, USA

I can't help but think he is only using her for the British visa! Why would he want her when he has a young wife and child? Could it possibly be that once he has his visa he will divorce her and then apply to have his wife and child move over to Britain?! Maybe it's just my overactive imaginiation, but at the end of the day he is the son of a well known terrorist and we have to be very wary about him. If he is under serveillance in another country then they obviously know something we don't!

Good luck to her, but I sincerely hope he is not given a British visa!

Helen, North East, England

Married 5 times previously and now ends up with not just any old Jihadi but a real Bin Laden. She's like an extreme version of that Catherine Tate lonely-hearts character...

Sean, london, uk

This is disgraceful; when will the grandmother realise he is not after her beauty but passport. That’s all we need in London – bin Laden’s son!!!!

AK, London, UK

Let us hope he is more mature than her

R Bates, Ashby,

I'd be more concerned about him being 27 to her 51 if I was her. - only the most idiotic of people will assume that the child must be a carbon copy of the father, in ideology or anything else. I'm married to a Yemeni and have lived in the Middle East a few years and, while Omar may be a laudable exception, the social stigma and hypocricy that still exists across the Middle East about an older woman marrying a younger man is astounding - a gap of even ten years can be social arsenic to family and friends. I'm five years older than my husband, though he looks older than me, and it took his family six years to accept our marriage, and I know of cases where the family have actually totally cut the son off and severed all contact for his marrying an "older woman." I do hope that their love is strong enough to overcome the social and cultural barriers, but it sounds rather like she's gone into this with rose-tinted specs firmly in place.

Linda , Sharjah, UAE

Why can't she live with him? Yes, her children are in UK - and that's a big factor for any mother I'm sure. but you're either married or you're not.

Hazel, sydney, australia

The young Bin Laden should indeed be welcomed to Blighty and shown the best of British hospitality. He may well be able to sow the seeds of understanding between his Muslim kinsfolk and the unbelievers. Indeed he may well decide to embrace Christianity with his newfound English Rose, although somehow I doubt it; isn't it odd that religious conversion traffic seems to be only one way when Christians and Muslims find "love". At any rate, I am sure someone somewhere will find a use for him in the UK. I can think of one --(and it's not celebrity Big Brother ) . So welcome Omar Ossama! Get that visa ready now.

John Gibbons, galway, Ireland

In response to John from Singapore, you are one of many who seem to be under the illusion that all "Muslims" are bad news and show no appreciation or understanding for the religion. Comments like yours show only narrow-mindedness and ignorance. I sincerely hope that one day somebody teaches you exactly where our country would be without people from other countries and religions. In the mean time, perhaps you would like to get down off your soap-box and do a little research.

N, London, UK

He defi thinks this could be be his ticket to the the UK! He shouldn't get the visa!

If her five other husbands were of different religions,it would make an interesting book. Would that be a first?

Y, London, UK

To each it's own

bami, Manama, Bahrain

“He would like to spend quite a bit of time here.”

'Nuff said. Oh, wait a minute, there is one more thing.

Will Omar be bringing his other wife and kid with him when he comes and will he be arrested for adultery as soon as he steps off the plane?

Or will the PC Crowd be waiting with a brass band and a love letter from ex-Chairman Blair?

Jack, London, Midllesex

Boy she sure can pick 'em! But is this a naive, idealystic woman judged dumb-as-a-post by us - or a canny MI6 undercover-Mata-Hari working for Queen and Country?

If she is just an old romantic - it is wrong to wish to bring him here - maybe her other marriages would have worked better if she tried to live with her husband (of the time) and not try to "change" him.

No - this marriage would be best nurtured among the sand dunes and Arabic-tongued lands that she obviously finds so enchanting. A scrap metal dealer's life in Moulton, Cheshire would be a boring one - and it's not like she can co-opt him into helping out at her Church open days...

No, having embraced the love and religion and financial security of this once self-confessed-terrorist son of the Worlds-Most-Hated-Man, I feel whe should do her wifely duty and join him in an Islamic land of their choice...

Kay Adams, Middlewich, Cheshire UK

51 year old grandmother married FIVE times marries a muslim polygamist half her age would be a bit of a laugh, but throw in the Bin Laden factor and its no joke - the "husband" now has free accesss to the United Kigdom.

Grant, Scarsdale, New York, USA

One might think she is old enough to remember the young Irish woman impregnated by a terrorist who gave her a suitcase piped with semtex, and a plane ticket to fly and meet him......

Mary Saunders, Nice, France

She must like wedding cake!!!!!

Don Mason, Preston, England

Well, I am sure Omar will bring his other wife dan child into Britain and along with other polygamists from South Asia, they will live happily ever after in Britanistan.

Who knows ... maybe his father might arrange a family reunion in the Ritz.

Just don't expect the same generosity from Islamic countries towards kafirs.

ali5196, London, UK

>>live and let live

And just how often do you suppose Omar's dad Osama expresses similar feelings?

If only OBL would let us live and let live, we might not have such a problem with this story!

What an unbelievable insult to the families of all those murdered by terrorists supporting this Live and Let Die fanatic.

John in Singapore,
I'm not a Muslim but your comments are truly offensive. Do you really lump all Muslims together? Do you only hate Muslims or would you like to share your opinion on other groups as well?

At 51, at least she won't be playing any role in the 'conquest by demographics'

No wonder Britain is known as the "white trash headquarters" of the world. There seem to be a lack of basic reasoning in the general population that express itself in absurdities and embarrassments that appear incredible and unreal to the rest of the world. A 51-year old, whos been married ..eh..how many times? Now marrying a 27 year old. From a conservative muslim family.

Yeah right, we believe granny when she claims he 'loves' her. He must have dreamt his whole young life to marry some Brit that is his mothers age and has been divorced more times than he's entered the local mosque. I am sure, with his low profile, he will be just "thrilled" at what his granny wife has been up to with the press.

Another British reality show in the making, anyone?
