London buses to carry ‘praise Allah’ adverts during Ramadan

I can’t say I will be happy to see this. I doubt that indiginous inhabitants of the other cities in the scheme will be happy either. From the London Evening Standard.

London buses will carry adverts praising Allah as part of a drive by Britain’s biggest Muslim charity to help victims of the Syrian civil war during Ramadan.

Islamic Relief said it hoped the posters, which bear the words “Subhan Allah”, meaning “Glory be to God” in Arabic, will portray Islam and international aid in a positive light.

The adverts will be carried in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester and Bradford later this month.

Charity leaders hope it will encourage generous donations during the religious festival, which is expected to begin on June 6.

The Charity Commissioners may have declined to investigate Islamic Relief. The auditors engaged by Islamic Relief may have found no evidence of the charity supporting and financing Hamas. But the HSBC bank certainly didn’t want their business any more.
