Sufis are considered apostates by sonny & cher.
Remember the catchy chant, 'Ayeeeee, death to apostates' and it's not like them to get worked up about nothing.
This would be a 'slap in the face' to all our decent Muslims. ;-)

How about this for an idea: why not dispense with the habit of portraying people on the country's banknotes? I don't remember it being in vogue before the 1970s. I seem to remember old £1 notes having some sort of logo or a depiction of "George and the Dragon" on them. Quite why it is felt necessary to include pictures of commoners on them is a mystery. There are plenty of things such as animals, mythical creatures, buildings or civil engineering constructions that could be used.

That's the job, gg. I suppose the Europeans have a little more difficulty as there would be ructions if a Belgian hero (Hercules Poirot is the only one I can think of) had to be used by Germans or Italians. In any case it would take 58 summits "over dinner" to draw up a short list and a further 98 to decide the winner.

I would like to see two people on the note. Alan Turing and Tommy Flowers, who did so much to shorten the war and probably saved many thousands of lives, from both sides of the conflict.

I agree Tommy Flowers was very much an unsung hero in the encryption group. A Telephone engineer working for the Post Office if memory serves me .

retrocop, yes he is indeed an unsung hero. He built Colussus, the worlds first programmable electronic computer in 1944.

Any occasion is apparently one for the anti-Islamic front to crawl out from under their pile of *** and gob off.
