she wants fame , money and he wants footing in UK to expand his base. Nothing but marriage of convenience!!!

Vasudev, hyderabad, India

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.

It's sad when a man is an old fool, but it's so much sadder when it's a woman.

Kristal, Los Angeles, USA

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

"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,

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.

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!

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

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....

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

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.

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

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.......

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.

"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.

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.

Lawrence, london, UK

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?

barb, new york, usa ny

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

Voice O'Reason, Springfield,

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?

Kara, Alicante, Spain

John from Singapore...what a thing to say...it smacks of genocide.

hr, basel, switzerland

she has obviously been paid to marry him given the age difference, the fact she has been married 5 times and has no respect for the term marriage and is obviuosly insame to marry any relation be it by blood or acquaintance to osama bin laden. My derriere that he doesn't stanbd for his father's politics.

jane, london,

I am shocked......all I can think is what next?

May, faraway land, England

"WAKE UP" Mrs Felix Brown. Blood is thicker than water. You don't really know if he's in touch with his father or not. Could you really live with yourself if you brought an even bigger threat to our country? We need to keep anyone with terrorist connections OUT, not bring them in on the silly whim of a woman who should know better.

Tarina, Oakham, UK

No, no, no, no, no!

Jay Cee, Jedda,

*cough, cough*, someone please pass me some water before I choke! I mean?: 51 against 27 years? Oh puh-lease! Now, no one must speak about love on these facts! And that is precisely the problem. On the facts presented, it is difficult not to be sceptical. On another point: who is it that said the apple very rarely falls far from the tree? – perhaps more true in the case of extremists..? Hmmmn

Anne, Longstanton, UK

The Government has stupidly started recognizing multiple marriages and should stop this immediately. If granted entry Mr bin Laden will claim the right to bring in his existing wife/wives and children, and all of them will be entitled to EU benefits by virtue of his purported marriage to Mrs Felix-Browne.

Britian is a country which only recognizes a single marriage and this should be smartly reverted to instead of it being smuggled in under subtle pressure to incorporate Sharia law in to English law.. As he is not married to Mrs Felix Brown by traditional definition, it should form no basis for entry.

If Mrs Felix Brown wishes to pursue her colourful love life, good luck to her, she can do it where Mr bin Laden already is. She can have as many panto marriages as she likes, it is no concern of mine, except maybe for a tinge of envy.

This is separate from whether Sharia law can come in to English law and whether the gentleman should be allowed in to Britain. The answer is' NO'.

D Valentine, Cambridge,

The woman's old enough to be his mother. Quite clearly this is another case of naive mid-life-crisis woman duped by foreign predators determined to get a British passport. I would imagine this young chap, whatever he says, probably has other agendas once he gets to Britain. No way should he be let into the UK.

Chris, Wrexham, Wales

Husband number six and a foreigner half her age, desperate or what?

Susan, Barry, S Wales

Lost for words.....

Claire, Yorkshire,

DON'T LET HIM IN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, once he is in he'll dump her and get given a flat and benefits. His other wife has no choice in the matter, doesn't this woman realise this? I'm a romantic, I've been tricked into a marriage from a holiday romance and then found the successful Dutchman is actually penniless and was looking for a roof over his head although we are still together. Love does come into it but it is secondary to what can be achieved in a man's eyes, especially when he wants a second mother.
If she takes the relationship as it is, and enjoys it while it lasts, that's fine, but don't hand over money or get him British Citizenship.
It amazes me the amount of nastiness between American contributors and British contributors, I thought we were allies?

Christine in Hayes, Hayes, Middlesex, England

A Clue.... No, that's it, just No! Who knows when Dad might want to come for a visit?!?!

C Jackson, Lancaster, England,

She has been married five times before. He is still in contact with his father in 2000/2001 in Afghanistan, applying to spend time in the UK and has another wife and child. Sorry to say, but I can't see this working out well for anyone; him, her or the public.

Bobby, London,

Has no one noticed this woman is twice omars age, and has already been married 5 times. this marrige is destined for failure, and its got nothing to do with the father

Christy Malyan, Welling, Bexley, uk

A UK visa for this gentleman? I don't think so. Does President Mugabe have any currently unmarried sons who would "like to spend quite a bit of time here", regardless of the weather? I hope not. But if he does, look out!

Bill Hendry, London,

What a lot of unpleasant comments on this thread. Neither of them have done anything wrong. The son isn't responsible for the actions of his father. I wish them all the best.

Jason, London,

I'm sure he's not remotely interested in her lovely, red passport............................

Sheila, London, UK

You have got to be kidding!

Larry, Pewsey, Wilts

I reckon she is using him more than he is using her. Lets not forget the vast wealth the Bin Laden family have.

He was probably bored one day and thought 'Yeh I'm a bit bored today, I know, I'll go and marry the first woman I see riding a horse' and boom! they were married.

I dont think he's a terrorist- they wouldnt allow him to live in Saudi otherwise

Sam, Manchester,

"Yet another reason to vote the BNP!" ~ Lynsey, London

So, if a white english women marries an arab, everyone in UK should therefore vote BNP?

How does that work?

Binny, London, UK

We all love celebrities who go the extra inane mile (Paris Hilton, Pete Doherty), so why shouldn't someone going the extra inane mile achieve the celebrity they so clearly crave?

Pete, Melbourne, Australia

It's obvious she married him for his Billions of Dollars! she is much older than him and been 5 times divorced in the past! she played her cards well and she will get divorced in a couple of months, then she will take a share of his immense welath and it will become her number 6 divorce. Once she is out of the marriage, she would have become a millionaires..

Solo, London,

An interesting article that says more about the psychology of the 'wife' than anything else. The husband deserves a chance as he is not his father. However despite the fact in some Arab states polygomy is allowed it isn't culturally acceptable in the UK therefore I don't know what the status of this 'marriage' is over here. Also even he wan't already married it leaves as much a bad taste in the mouth as when you see old western European Men with far younger women in Asia and other places. So can this really be love? - I'm sure after 5 other failed marriages this lady should have an idea that this holiday Romance is it.

john, London,

Absolute nuts. He already has a wife and a two year old child? Hmm... sounds like adultery to me.

Kay, Anaheim, CA, USA

BIZARRE!

TK, Oxford,

Simon, Moscow,

"live and let live"

Yeah, right. That's what I said when they decided there could be no more fox-hunting. Where were you then, b of Glasgow?

John Lynch, Whittington, Shropshire, UK

It's funny that some people in the UK equate the possession of a passport with international knowlede. Perhaps you should consider the fact that only 1 in 5 Americans have a passport because our country is so large and diverse that we don't feel the need to have to leave it in order to take a vacation. Sorry you don't feel the same way about your own country.

BD, Greenville, SC/USA !

To John in Singapore...

In actual fact the rest of the country is not in the predicament of how to get rid of Muslims, If you knew anything about Islam you would know that it has nothing to do with Terrorism and if you knew anything about Muslims in Britain you would also know that the majority despise what those men do in the name of Islam.

On this article - There are many women like Mrs Felix Brown who are older and find younger men in foreign countries, I cant help thinking that she has her head in the clouds as what could he want from the relationship, why would he need another wife apart from for money? which doesnt suggest the good character she portrays in him, as a Muslim man he should be supporting her and treating her in an identical way to his other wife which is not likely! If the country let this man in, when they refuse so many innocent people with no family links to terrorists, then I swear I will be buying my ticket out of the country tommorrow!

English Muslim, Peterborough, England

The problem of letting in Osama Bin Laden's son, as opposed to like a distant second-cousin, is that he admittedly was trained to be a soldier/terrorist from birth until the age of 19. And further, even if he left his father in 2000, the September 2001 attacks were already deeply into their planning stages by then, not to mention various other attacks by Al Qaeda through the late 90's. Anyone who was in contact with Bin Laden in 1999 needs to be on the most serious watch lists.

This woman is delusional. She waves off any discussion of Osama Bin Laden's crimes by saying that "we'll probably never know" whether or not he really is responsible for them. And yes, being in and out of questionable marriages since she was 16 absolutely can be used as evidence of her poor judgement. And now marrying someone half her age who she has nothing in common with, who is already married to another woman who he's just had a baby with, and who she's only known since September to top it all off...

Will Hutchinson, London, UK

Come on, are you serious, he should never set foot on UK soil. Maybe if these extremists families were punished as well as the culprits, then there warped brains might think twice

John Hammond, Coventry, UK

Interesting story.
I agree the son shouldn't be judged for being the son of the most wanted man on Planet Earth. But we need to know if the reports stating he argued over tactics was his dad about how to blow up 3000 people in their offices are true. The article doesn't explain that.
In addition, he already has a wife and family. That's not a beautiful love story. That's bigamy.
I have a feeling that this lady, who has been married 5 times already, is a little naive. No crime in that, but is she asking him to leave behind his wife and baby to come to the UK?
And a best friend via email?
Before you make comments about beautiful love stories, read the detail. Good luck to her with what ever she is looking for though and that it doesn't lead to a sixth seventh marriage.

EmailMarriage, Glasgow,

Really not sure what the problem is here. Hope they enjoy their life together. No need to visit the sins of the father on the son.

Of course, the same could could be said of the sins of the country. If you catch my meaning ;)

GrouchoMarxist, Fairfax, Virginia, USA

Takes all types - even serial polygamists. She is obviously hopeless when it comes to relationships.

Arnold Ward, Weybridge, Surrey, UK

It is a very interesting story. Love makes the world go round!

Eldar, Norilsk, Russia

Terrorism is boring unless it's happening to you....can we talk about something more interesting, we're in danger of not enjoying the things we're meant to be defending, like clotted cream and kids on swings.

Destroy terrorist enjoy a scone, forever, no matter what...

Dirk van Damme, Logarhythmia, TYP

This lady must be so naive to think she could keep this a secret, and selfish and irresponsible to bring this trouble to her family's door, especially her grandchildren who, no doubt, will now be in for some serious bullying at school.

Her new husband is the son of the world's most wanted man, and one presumes that he lived with his father during his childhood and was, therefore, influenced by him during that impressionable time - so not an ideal groom then?

Call me cynical, but is she really so deluded to think that he loves her for who she is, rather than for her visa? After all, who wouldn't prefer a 51 year old grannie to nubile wife #1?

Unfortunately, the price for your love with this man is just too high. However, in this day of "me me me", you will probably bleat about the unjust publicity and carry on regardless, until either he gets his visa or daddy does something catastrophic that forces your hand.

Either way, please wake up and smell the houmous!

Cristina, London,

Hope she get terrorized by him. If it what she wants, that's what she will get!

ronadlo, london,

As I assume the first wife won't get a British visa. It looks like the second wife and sixth husband will have to go to Saudi Arabia where i hope they have a lovely time together.

CT, Dubai,

Very odd indeed. wonder why bin laden did not change his name - one might think that would be a good idea hmm... the foriegn office would never be able to find him, but then again they have no idea who or what is in the UK at anytime.

Trevor, Baghdad, rubble

John in Singapore. It is comments like yours that are not helpful.

The UK is not trying to get rid of Muslims. We are trying to get rid of radicals, from any religion or faith background.

I work in many different countries, some mostly Muslim, and I have never come across any issues with anyone because they are a 'Muslim'.

And to the Americans, how does this show the slow death of Europe??! One woman decides to marry a Muslim... she isnt the first and wont be the last. It might not last given her previous marital history.

DMO, you obviously do not know many Muslim women, I do, they are tough! I was recently in Pakistan and the women I was working with were amazing, highly educated and not subservient. I am sure some people manipulate the Koran for their own purposes and treat women badly, but so do some Christians with the Bible.

You can read what you want into the Bible and the Koran and you can find support for the craziest of ideas... if you are a radical.

Gareth Evans, Leicester, UK

Come back Enoch Powell - all is forgiven...

Maybe extended family regulations will permit entry to Britain of the whole Bin Laden family? And then for Osama Bin Laden do we nab him or give him a council house and social security?

A thankful expat Brit...

Vic Hunter, Sydney, Australia

I must have confused this paper with the Daily Mail. First of all John in Singapore, the UK is not in the predicament of 'how to get rid of Muslims', but I would be interested in seeing fewer BNP fascists making such ridiculous claims. Second of all Simon in Cambridge, you seem to know a lot about clueless and reactionary, but you rely on stupid gossip instead of actual fact to make a tired argument about American understanding of foreign affairs. Who exactly are you to judge what other people may think or say, and since when does having a passport confer the right to speak one's mind?
Aside from this guy having the most wanted father in the world, he's barely half her age and already married, she's been married multiple times and they're conducting a post-holiday romance by telephone. Hardly the stuff of happily ever after, but if their relationship can survive more than a year under all that pressure, then blessings on their house. Let the Home Office figure out the rest.

Seppo, London,

Unbelievable. You really couldn't make this up could you?

How did they meet? Was Ms Felix-Browne touring scrapyards in Saudi Arabia perhaps?

How long will it be before we read that Mr Bin Laden Jr has been rehoused in Britain, is claiming benefits, and is sending regular reports on plane and train movemens to a certain cave in Afghanistan?

I can only hope that Ms Felix-Browne works for the security services. I cannot think of any reason why anyone would want to marry into the Bin Laden family.

On the bright side, the wedding reception is bound to be a gas and go off with a bang.

Lawrence, London, UK

Wow. Just WOW. Is this for real. The woman has 5 failed marriages already (starting at 16 years old to an Arab...) and now she is trying to bring Bin Ladens son over here. I don't think so. If she loves Arabs men so much I think she should consider moving away from England to be closer to her obsession.

Bobby, Midlands,

it is a nice story .. the pride is very nice and the groom.
omar is not osama...he is a man with his choise we speak about one world for everybody under the umbrella of love and harmony ...so let them enjoy there live without noisy screeming

Silly woman. Chance meeting? hmmm.... Let's hope the authorities are more circumspect about giving him a British passport. I would like to see how long this would last if he were denied the high-value access to UK. Would he have married her if she was a Saudi grandmother?

Seems quite intresting and thrilling, It has happened when world is still hunting for Mr. ladin Sr. However can one blame his son for all the mess his father did. No doubt he is Sr. Ladin's son but before than he is an individual and holds right to live and entitled to do everything 'unharmful' which other fellow human beings do.Futher the lady seems courageous and strong Really a BIG shot. Seems a fairly tale. But she has got the Brit character.
If Omar is born to Ladin Sr. does this make him a criminal? Think!

I feel sorry for Bin Laden's son.That is one strange woman.

ron, toronto,

US/Uk have destroyed lives and set off wars all over the world 'apparently' because of Bin laden and their so called 'threat' and your women are going around marrying their sons. Western media has anti-muslim sentiment all over it, but for those who orchestrate that sentiment this is yet another slap in the face.

Ti, Luton, UK

As Bin Laden junior already has a wife, Mrs. Felix Brown is not married to him. Bigamy is not allowed in Britain.

How many Moslems in Britain have been allowed to bring multiple "wives" into Britain? Do they draw social benefits from them? And then when they divorce them by saying "
I divorce thee," do they leave them on social benefits and go back to Pakistan or wherever and marry another one to bring to Britain? It is a formula for unlimited immigration. What are the official figures on multiple "wife" families in Britain? Or are we not supposed to mention it, and with the Home Office brushing the question under the carpet?

Glen, Milton Keynes,

i dont believe omar is telling mrs felix-browne the truth or if they are both telling the world the truth about their love based on some 1)their age difference 2)their background his especially 3)he has a wife and 2-yr old child 4)he even want 2 come 2 uk(are we sure he(they)r not lookng for a way to cause more harm by his coming.how can we b sure this isn't a set up or he hasn't been communicating with his father ? )

By the way, if thats her natural colour of hair, then im a Dutchman!

Pete, St Albans, U.K.

Too right she will have a million enemies....... she didn't need to marry a Bin Laden for that to happen.
Jane has been hated by loads of people even before she got married... AGAIN to a bin laden.
I mean, she converted to muslim cos she has strong religious beliefs and family values, and you tell me, how many other muslim converted 51 year old grandmothers are covered in head to toe in biker tattoo's and have had several boob jobs !
I knew about this apparent marriage several months ago and I didn't believe it then, but now I have heard it in the official news, this woman is capable of anything.
If I was to have my say, you see all these suicide bombers, then people who new them saying things like; I would have never guessed they'd do something like this..... Well Jane is the perfect candidate to be brainwashed by such as the al-Qaeda and I think that if anybody who reads this has anything to do with giving Omar a visa, I emplor you NOT to !!!

Billy Bob, Timbuktu, Nowhere

this is the biggest example of jerry springer tv i have ever heard. Not only has this woman been married five times, shes marrying someone almost half her age who's father is probably the biggest terrorist threat in the world. I can just imagine them all sitting on jerrys stage and the crowd boo-ing as jerry says "well lets bring out the father...Osama Bin Laden". Only in a society where nearly all marages end up in divorce could something so ridiculous happen. Im hoping he doesnt come to live here, concidering there are probably more immigrants than born britains in this country

Melanie Jones, Kent, UK

Dear lady, you are 51 and have MS? Please look after yourself.

Maggie, London,

OK a news article about a slightly batty older woman who seems to marry everyone she has a relationship with, but why have so many US readers used this article as an excuse to slur the UK.

Nalanotail, Basingstoke,

I wonder, since Omar Bin Laden witnessed first hand the creation of AlQaeda, has he also witnessed the US sponsors training his father and his men guerilla tactics?

andy anderson, Cambridge, England

I think this woman is a sandwich short of a picnic. She was on GMTV this morning rambling on about that if she was ever to meet 'the father in-law' and could ask him one question she would ask "Did you do it?" (like that's gonna win you brownie points). She then went on to announce that she was "sorry for all the deaths in the world." I had to turn over at this point as I was cringing so much...

Most infamous father in law since HItler or Poe Pot and your good with this? Married 6 xs and at 51 you get a 29 year old who falls in love with you out of the blue? Thinking not. Your a passport to terror cells and thats all he'll ever see in you so wise up and do the UK a favor; Live in the MIddle East where you can be in love until when ever. If you love your country than take the boy and go. Oh, don't forget to send a post card now and again and update us on how much he still loves you even when he doesn't get into the UK.. I'm betting he won't and you won't either.

Peter, Paris, France

Why is a 27 year old man marrying a 51 one year old woman? To get a passport perhaps?

El Torero, Madrid,

Just a case of a gullible older women falling for the young foreign man. It happens the world over. Just like those women who fall for death row inmates. Its sad because its unlikely the relationship will last more than a few years. I should think he just wants British citizenship and an easy life in England.

Steve, London, England

Why did she have to change hier Christian Name. Christianity is obviously below Islam. Typical English when will they learn that to be tollerant is one thing but suicidal is another.

This is obviously at the least another publicity stunt by the Muslims or at worst a more sinister plot by them.

Reactionary yanks?! I don't recall us yanks having to clean car bombs off our streets in the past two weeks. While you are correct about a greater percentage of you Brits holding passports compared to us yanks, it appears that we easily outpace you in common sense.
Good luck with Osama's son!

Jeff, Atlanta, Georgia USA

Wow only married 5 times previously and now - - - -

Robert, Hampshire,

what kind of treatment for m.s. do they have in Egypt that is not available in UK?

gabriela, vienna, austria

In no circumstancies should someone with his background/training be encouraged to move to this country, no matter who his father is.

J Denham, Birmingham,

To divorce her all he has to say is ' I divorce you '. Not that he would know that of course!

kerry livermore, London, England,

I am aghast. How can people not see the results when a religious extremist uses his power to indirectly cause the murder of thousands of innocent people?

I am, of course, talking about George W. Bush.

Bush and bin Laden are just two sides of the same coin - people who use violence to further their own self-righteous beliefs.

TW, Sydney,

How i would love to be a fly on the wall at the next AMG of the Moulton Womens Institute meeting,one can only wonder at the tea cups ratling and the gossip over the homemade cherry cake as those estwhile matrons of Middle England realise Mr Bin Laden (Junior) could be handing out the raffle prizes at the church bring and buy sale or the school summer fate.
Almost enough to cancel "ones"subscription to the Daily Mail.
More tea Vicar !!

Simon, Brighton, UK

This illustrates precisely the future of the United Kingdom. Is this really what UK wants?

Mark, DC, USA

Its not really who he is related to, but whether they love each other. Saying that tho, a 51 yo grandma and a 27 yo Saudi scrap dealer would have little in common, especially not their religious beliefs. She;s had five previous marriage proving she doesn't believe in it as a long term solution. Europe is alive and well, just moving eastwards a Bit.

Elwin parsley, london , UK

Who said there was no love in this world?
They are adults and seem to know what they are doing.
Let them live in peace, hapiness and prosperity.

All the best.

Jamil, London, UK

I wonder if she was this keen on her other 5 husbands?

Charlie G, London,

Bigamy is against the law in this country, so presumably the woman will be arrested.

Ray, Bath, UK

I feel sorry for Cheshire.

Colin Ling, Colchester, UK

If 27 year old muslims are marrying 51 year old women who are on their sixth marriage, one can perhaps understand the appeal of the '72 virgins' promised to martyrs...

Austin Allegro, London,

Not sure why so many American's think we've gone down the tubes or why Europe is slowly dying and how or why this marriage might have any effect on that, even if it were true. This marriage does, admittedly seem pretty peculiar [27 year old Muslim marrying a British granny] - surely our British marriage laws do not permit bigamy, so how would their marriage be recognised by british law? They are in different countries, so not the closest marriage relationship one might think. True - she shouldn't be judged for the actions of her father-in-law, but she's been married how many times before?! 5? - good luck Omar is all I can say.

J, craigavon, N.Ireland

The English Government should do more to protect that poor man...............

Luke, Berridale, NSW Australia

5 marriages, 2nd wife, she is 51, he is 27 ...do the maths. If this is an equation for love....
Clearly that story must have sold for a lot...

shlomo, london, UK

A tragic wonder! I vote this as part of the seven wonders of the world.

tunde martins, Abuja, Nigeria

How long will we have to wait for the hot-cake seller I WAS MARRIED TO OSAMA'S SON!!! ????

At any rate, I refuse to see the movie, and will not be buying the T-shirt, though I might be tempted by the action figures.

Eugene, Heidelberg, germany

You couldn't make it up...

How predictable that its a British woman marrying Osama's son. Its a story of our time.

Imagine also, the uproar if a British woman had married a son of Adolf Hitler in 1942. As I said, you couldn't make it up!

Tom M, London,

She is 51 and this is her SIXTH marriage. She certainly knows how to pick them.

Nothing wrong in an older woman marrying a younger man. But he already has a wife and child. Why would he want to come here on holiday unless he expected to bring his whole entourage with him.

I say don't let him in. He may not be his father but we should nopt have to take a chance. Who is to say that his father won't bear even more of a grudge againgst Britain for letting his "estranged" son in with a non-muslim wife. It really does not take much to get Osama to react.

Bill, Sunbury, England

As they say in Holland: you have to learn it on an old bike. Clearly, some people never grow up.

Don Basilio, Cambridge, UK

Well done!

The son is NOT responsible for his father.
Ray McIntyre, Mount Somers, New Zealand and

What a very beautiful love story
rachel willians, taunton, somerset

Are you both joking or just very very naive?

SpanishMike, Tain, Scotland

Why is this news? Just because of his name? Can The Times please get back to high-brow journalism?

Abioye A Oyetunji, London, UK

what a shame she had to keep it on the hush hush like that. but the great thing is, they both followed their bliss and now they're together! I think it's great! and the fact that she's 51 and he's 27, SPOT ON LADY! ;)

MTiwari, Southampton, England

This is just a coincidence! This is love which you don't know to whom and where you will be in love.Everybody should respect and try to understand the lady.We should not judge people with their families or with their previous background.If we judge him with his father's offences then the children will not find a real place to be accepted.I wish happiness to both.

Mehmet KAYNAK, Istanbul,

Well, his dad sired 17 so Omar better get on with it. London has excellent fertility clinics. With his money and his wife's charms, maybe what GB Shaw said will become a reality.

billoo bhai, London, UK

I am surprised. I thought the happy couple would like to go and live in a peaceful muslim state away from temptation and vice where those dirty inferior races can be kept in their place. I would like them to live there too.

Steve, Cambridge,

It's difficult to find the words... It seems even more ludicrous and unlikely than the plot of Die Hard 4.0, but what does a 27 year old married man want with a 51 year old woman who lives in another country? It seems rather sad and desperate of her to me, and smacks of attention seeking. What a strange world we live in.

R. Liversidge, Ripon, UK

Well she has to be the most naive individual around. She should be declared clinically insane and her so called husband (British passport chaser) should never be allowed entry in to the UK on any grounds. Wake up Jane Felix-Browne, you make Britons look like fools. Please leave and go and live with your husband and don't ever return!

Liz, London,

She's either a very very silly "Mills & Boon" romantic or the potential saviour of the world from extremist Muslim attrocities-just think if Osama saw this as a way to unite with us instead of fighting- however that would imply Muslim extremists had the same moral values as us-ok so she's just a stupid publicity seeker. Get your 15 minutes of fame mrs but don't bring another potential terrorist into our once lovely country.

Mike Brown, Bath, UK

What a terrible story. They coincidentily met while she was riding on a horse around the great pyramid? Come on!

michiel, den bosch, netherlands

You'd think he'd know if his old man was still alive.

Tom, Perth,

This whole jaunt shrieks of a mid life crisis, yet another female oaring for attention, what will she do next, buy a sports car, start weight-lifting and smoking pot?
Why doesn’t she have a soak period in Egypt for 2 years and if she is still ''head over heals'' then she may have proved my first comment wrong.
As for our deranged brethren across the water, I think Angela Leighton has more neck than a Giraffe; never has there been a country so full of lunatics.

Toby, Sussex, England

Her sixth marriage? Twice his age? This is appalling sex tourism. If it were a man marrying a young women in similar circumstances there would be widespread condemnation, and rightly so. Clearly a very disturbed woman. Spooky picture too.

Peter Dickinson, Kiev, Ukraine

To start with, yes britain is kinda screwed up at the moment but that does not mean europe is gonna fall down around us. This woman does not know what she's getting herself in for.

A, Yorks,

Under no circumstances should this man or any other member of bin Ladens family be allowed in this country!!!! The parish councillor should move to his country to live with him. We have seen the results of letting every possible threat in the country and it's time we stopped the political correctness nonsense and thought more about self preservation!!!!

Patricia Neild, Bythorn Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire

Jesus Christ!!!

Ozzy, Uffingtion, Oxfordshire

The fact that the lady has had 5 marriages and is content to marry a man already married, irrespective of who he is, makes me question her choices and question whether this truly is "love".

Russell Reeves, Yeovil, UK

A LOVE STORY IN MR. BROWN'S POCKET

Man oh Man . Mr Brown you did it.
You showed Tony Blaire that love can win the lovers.
I thank you

Firozali A.Mulla MBA PhD, Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania

i hope everyone can see why over a 1000 brits leave this country everyday. I too will soon leave europe (soon to be eurasia) behind. I cant wait.

sam, birmingham, west midlands

So she sees no reason why he can't come to live here. Are his other wife and child a good reason?
Surely they would not come as well...??

Lucy, London,

Yet another reason to vote the BNP!

Lynsey, London,

I just dont understand how a 51 year old woman can satisfy a 27 year old? She needs a reality check. Arab men have a reason for eveything they do...

sareh, london, uk

Another scrap metal dealer...that's all we need!

Malcolm, Manama, Bahrain

He is the most beautiful person I have ever met. His heart is pure, he is pious, quiet, a true gentleman, and he is my best friend.”

Hmmm . . . perhaps I'll take the judgement of somebody who has been married fewer than six times a little more seriously than Zaina's.

Toby, London,

It is to be hoped that the authorities will not be so weak, so soft, so stupid as to let this man into the country. But I'm not holding my breath.

Let this woman go and live in Saudi Arabia.

Mark Alexander, London, UK

how do you spell green card, green card , green card ?. how do you spell scam, scam scam ? .. something stinks in Britian. .........NEVER let him in. MAKE her move there.

iceyyy, N.Y.,

I think she sounds fascinating.

Vanz, London,

What a lot a nasty comments today...especially from nasty John from Singapore. This lady looks pretty good for a grandmother. What's more the Bin Laden family is huge and vastly wealthy so it looks like envy to me. Good luck Jane I say.

Ian Whiteman, Granada, Spain

I live in Cheshire, ........not for long!

Chris, Bramhall, UK

I hope he gets refused a visa, just in case the saying "like father like son" does turn out to be true. But they can continue their happy love story in his country!

Lucy, essex,

From an American with a passport who has good friends in Britain and France, I am saddened to read that somehow a British woman's ill-advised marriage (fifth?) to a Saudi man almost half her age somehow negatively reflects on Americans(?). I realized that Mr. Bush has mucked up our international image quite a bit, but let's not forget his lap dog enabler, Mr. Blair. At least the Brits have wised up. I hope the Americans are now doing the same.

Donna, Rutland, USA

Interesting! I hope she invites the father to an English wedding.

Howard, Johannesburg, South Africa

remarkable how "love"? can be so blind, does the woman have any idea how foolishly she has acted,a british passport for mr bin laden? me thinks NOT!!!!

tim coleman, chester,

I hope she will be happy, but the omens are not there. She is 51 and he is 27 and already married with a 2 year old. I know muslims can have more than one wife, but who is she kidding? A 27 year old is not interested in a 51 year old and especially one who has MS. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but he obviously just wants her because there may be an opportunity for him to come to the UK. Please God, don't let that happen. She can go and live with him at his home surely? I certainly wish them both luck and happiness, but not in this country please.

Liz Bussey, London, UK

Poor woman..... she is in her dream world. He is just using her.
I come from a muslim country and I never see that the second wife is older (or uglier) than the first one (or even older than the husband).
Let's see when he has the British passport whether he will dump her or not. Next time, she will be in the paper telling the world how stupid she was believing about true love. The title will be "My Sad Love Life: Marrying Bin Laden's son"

Claire, Aberdeen, Aberdeen

Mrs Felix-Browne specialises in marrying sundry males.
Omar bin Laden may need of a refraction.Mrs F-B may have the Laden fortune in mind.She seems to have made marriage a hobby and has a predilection for Middle -East males,but this is odd.I think that Mr Felix-Browne may not have been a Muslim and ,for that reason,may have been given his quittance.Sharing Omar with a 27-year-old wife and infant daughter is agenerous gesture on the part of the new husband and wife.

.J.P.Walsh., Woodford Wells, Essex

Why would he want to live in Moulton?

Chris, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

Great, they're happy with each other and entitled to do what they want. But why does he have to live here? Why can't she live with him in his country? If it's 'true love' then surely it won't matter where they live?

e, london,

Free country .... Free thinking.... Free speech... Free Passports to all, Free NHS, we wouldn't have it any other way. God bless Great Britain. She could always quote the 5th Amendment, just remind me how it goes again please..... ? This reminds me of the plot of lost, or should it say, 'lost the plot' .... and in high society very conservative Cheshire, not some little back water town, eh? Like the man says, move on. When they catch his dad, that'll be news.... can't wait. Go get him boys!

ian, Manchester, Great Britain

Is this a joke?

misha, New York, USA

That's funny

Osamma will come also at the wedding ceremony?

me, timisoara, romania

Shocking news! Let's all pray that this man is not using her to gain access to British soil and that the British Govt does NOT ALLOW this to happen. Sadly nowadays we all have to fear our very own shadows.

ROBERTA, RAINHAM, ESSEX

It’s a big family though. I was out drinking with one of the bin Ladens recently here in Dubai. Bin Laden construction does a lot of work out here and just because he’s related to a wanted terrorist doesn’t mean that he’s guilty too.

Likewise with this woman. Guilt is not hereditary.

Irwin Fletcher, Dubai,

I think it doesn't look like an innocent friendship......ofcourse people can fall in love but she is at the age of his mother.......world is not such simple place to understand...

memet, istanbul,

Like us or loathe us - we Brits are never boring. On a grey day this brings a little eccentric sunshine.

eddie reader, birmingham, uk

This is terrifying!!! What if the extremists think that this is an extension of the crusades?? Jane, sweetheart, desist...

Kara Swart, Bangalore, India

How long will this marriage last? And, what sort of person marries a Saudi businessman at theage of 16? There's more to this than Zaina Mohammed is letting on.

Sue R, London,

Never mind about the 5 previous marriages then...

John, London,

Another Brit gone weird!!!!!

Avi, London, UK

Nut's!

smith, worthing,

Oy vey!

Jane Rubin, New York, New York

Is this marriage really going to work as a marriage? I bet it will be all over if he gets a visa to live in Britain and then will there be tears or rejoicing, and by whom? I'd be asking what this young husband and father of another girl and child would expect of a middle aged grandmother with so many marriages behind her. This is a coup which should not be allowed. Refuse the visa application.

Christine, London, UK

There's one born every second isn't there!

James Paul, London,

It's all a matter of time and demography.

Well done!

Why dont people backoff you should not jusge another persons sole on someelses wrongdings hatred only generates hatred we need peace and love.......hope they are very happy together what a brave women she let her love take her and did not judge wish the world could be more like that

A. Waheed, Leicester, UK

What a very beautiful love story

rachel willians, taunton, somerset

Hopefully he isn't like his father and the the happy couple have a long and wonderful life together, but if possible could they keep the son of the worlds most wanted man out of the country hes fighting, just to be on the safe side.

ben, beijing,

If that is a photo of Zaina Mohamed, she does not look like an old snaggly toothed matron. However, DMO is entitled to his perceptions.

Dr Najib Yusuf, Isleworth, Middlesex

Sadly just another desperate cry for attention, for that is what we have become. A nation of attention seekers. And she claims to be stressed by it all? o she goes on TV and sells story to the papers!!

Dave, Eastbourne., East Sussex

What can she give to her muslim husband at her age? Kids ?For sure a british passport so that it will be easier for him to travel in Europe to spread terror. If he does love her why can't they live in HIS country ? She could apply for the same nationality as her husband! Poor woman, another one who's been charmed and used.

B, UK,

A foil to our American posters - clueless and reactionary yanks without any understanding of foreign matters or policy draw unjustified conclusions on complex subjects and leave all with a sour taste in the mouth. A country where only 1 in 5 hold a passport have no right to comment on foreign affairs

DMO, how stupid. Rather like the modern USA, enmired in Iraq until the end of time. And you think US a mess? There's none so blind...

Jeremy Poynton, Fromeville, 51st State

Ms Felix-Browne's five failed previous marriages seem to indicate she has not matured past the idealistic naivity of youth. Unfortunately, her marriage to a Muslim will add to the number in the country, with clear and obvious results for all. I wish her luck but am uncertain as to what may happen when she finds she has been used. She may find she's in the same predicament in which the rest of the country finds itself; how to get rid of Muslims.

John, Singapore,

My statistical studies have shown that ill-conceived attacks by Americans on Europe increase in direct proportion to the rate of collapse of the dollar's value. I'm having a degree of difficulty with integrating the data on pirates, but I'm working on it.
