I filled out the same form in Pakistan. I'll find the British form for you.
My point is though - what harm is there in my swearing loyalty to two different governments?
Every oath for a Muslim has a limit. The limit is halal and haram. If Pakistan legislated you had to do something haram - would you do it? I don't think any of us would.
Is it Halal to pledge allegiance to a Dis-believing Monarch and Christian Nation (UK is officially a Christian nation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Governor_of_the_Church_of_England) to become their citizen by choice when other options are available (such as not forced into getting their citizenship).I am particularly interested in the case where the loyalties are tested and comes into conflict between both stateS.

Pakistan itself is hardly Islamic, despite its name. I don't buy this argument.Is it Halal to pledge allegiance to a Dis-believing Monarch and Christian Nation (UK is officially a Christian nation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Governor_of_the_Church_of_England) to become their citizen by choice when other options are available (such as not forced into getting their citizenship).
And folks who seek British citizenship by pledge loyalty because they are prosecuted and need to take refuge elsewhere as was the case of Muslims that were told to to go to Ethiopia?It is as long as it doesn't require you to abandon your deen. RasoolAllah saws himself sent Muslims to Ethiopia where the Christian king was just and the Quraysh were tyrants.
I am not that sure if British is that good as you hold them.@PDF this is the form I fill out.

As you can see the British are not insecure and don't need anyone to pledge loyalty or declare religious statements.
If your application is approved, you will need to take part in a citizenship ceremony.
The form of citizenship oath and pledge for registration of or naturalisation as a British citizen is as follows: Oath: "I, [name], swear by Almighty God that, on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors according to law." Pledge: "I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic values. I will observe its laws faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen."
Agreed. But you pledge allegiance to state not govt. The state officially and formally is Islamic. But even if it wasn't Islamic, the argument to Halal still lingers.Pakistan itself is hardly Islamic, despite its name. I don't buy this argument.

I never knew Pakistan was that bad for you.
Those pledges are for naturalised citizens.I am not that sure if British is that good as you hold them.

It is interesting that I have to inform a British Citizen of what he pledges and takes oath as someone who never got the opportunity or tried the process.
Agreed. But you pledge allegiance to state not govt. The state officially and formally is Islamic. But even if it wasn't Islamic, the argument to Halal still lingers.
In Pakistan, most likely you were a citizen by birth and thus had no option to pledge loyalty anywhere else at the time. But I am specifically asking about dual nationals who have to liberty to chose citizenship and are not forced to take refuge and nationality due to religious prosecution etc.
Then you have to define what a state is? If the state is its citizens, then the entire state by definition is not Islamic. If you're talking about the constitution, which changes constantly to suit the whims of those in power, then your argument fails again because Pakistani constitution has rules and laws that many scholars would argue are unIslamic.Agreed.
