Muslim Adverts on UK buses

[JFKvsNixon 11]

How about President Trump's USA.

 

You'll be a foreigner over there. Trump doesn't like foreigners, especially ones that have a history of burning down the White House.

[poppet2 13]

They won't let you in!

 

Huh, Trump was asked, how would he know who was a Muslim?

A. We'll ask them!

 

How's that for security?

That's probably the purpose of these adverts.

 

You're wrong. The adverts are an anti-terrorism initiative by the government to promote the soft side of Islam. Probably ill thought out like the Prevent campaign which appears to have the opposite effect and alienate a lot of muslims.

I thought it was for some kind of Islamic charity.

I couldnt understand the writing on the advert so just presumed it was and advert for an new Indian restaurant

Is this integration or colonisation?

Why can't any form of religious advertising remain in a place of worship?

It is a charity advert aimed at Muslims during the month of Ramadan to donate money to help victims of the civil war in Syria.

It is not asking anyone/forcing anyone to convert to Islam or start wearing a burka so stop getting your knickers in a twist.

We have Christian Aid/Save the children adverts on buses so why not this one?

Let's not beat about the bush, the problem really is that it is something to do with those pesky Muslims and it gets up some people's noses...

I will be donating now that I have seen it so the advert is doing its job.....

I wonder how many Muslim countries would allow Christians to spread the Christian word like this?

Why don't you read the article properly and you may realise that it is an advert by a charity aimed at raising money for victims of the Syrian war.

I think we all know that answer to that.

Neither, its just a couple of words praising God.

 

A God that is claimed to have the power to prevent suffering but chooses not to.

 

Not sure why anyone that believes in such a being would worship it.

We're not a Christian country, so it's not a valid comparison.

That doesn't even make sense.

An high court judge ruled last year that Britain is a Christian country.

 

In any case this bus advertising is load a fuss about nothing. I have never been influenced by anything advertised on a bus.

I can't find any details for that, can you provide a link?

It was on the news last year in relation to religion being studied in schools.
