Advertising religion on public transport? Whatever next?


Anger at 'praise Allah' slogans on British buses after the Lord's Prayer advert is banned from nation's biggest cinema chains

Buses across the country are to carry a slogan praising Allah – just months after cinemas banned an advert featuring the Lord's Prayer.

Hundreds of buses will carry posters bearing the words 'Subhan Allah', which means 'Glory be to God' in Arabic, for an ad campaign paid for by the charity Islamic Relief.

The posters will appear in London, Manchester, Leicester, Birmingham and Bradford, which have large Muslim communities.

Islamic Relief, Britain's biggest Muslim charity, came up with the advertisements with the line 'Subhan Allah' - meaning 'Glory be to God' (pictured)

It has been timed to coincide with the holy month of Ramadan in June, when Muslims traditionally fast and give to charity.

But last night, Christian groups asked why the Islamic adverts had been approved when a one-minute film by the Church of England was banned by Britain's biggest cinema chains at Christmas.

Odeon, Cineworld and Vue refused to show an advert featuring the Archbishop of Canterbury and members of the public reciting the Lord's Prayer. They banned the advertisement – which was due to be screened before the new Star Wars film in December – fearing it could offend movie-goers....

British buses to get slogans proclaiming Allah

Sort of a slap in the face to the ones murdered by the shootings and their families.
It really bothers me, a lot. Really fucked up.



.

Why is it a slap in the face to the people murdered by the shootings?

Not to mention 7/7.

Would you be as upset if signs appear saying "Praise God"?

She is trying to link a terrorist atrocity to a charity raising money for refugees. It insults the dead.

It may mean, "Praise God" in Arabic. It is a mis-quote to say it means "Praise God" in English.

There is a silver lining in every cloud, at least it does not say Akbar Allah.

And what concerns many of us is it parading all over town. All in the face of the townsmen who have been insulted emotionally by this culture..
Its sorta like when you break up with your boyfriend / spouse and you hate all of that gender for a while maybe forever, because of the pain they caused you. Some move on some never do..

BTW, I am married so no need to go there, but I was an addiction counselor and understand how people heal a little.

It may mean, "Praise God" in Arabic. It is a mis-quote to say it means "Praise God" in English.

Why? it's the same God for Christians, Jews, and Islam.

Yours is the common error and is not at all the case. The generic 'god' may be the same, but the 'God' of Jews and Christians is not "Allah".

For one thing they both believe in Jesus. How is that possible if their gods are different?

"Allah" is Arabic for God.

It has the same linguistic roots as "Elohim", and the word predates Islam by hundreds of years. Arabic Christians refer to God as "Allah" as well.

That's why your post above is bullshit.

 

[AmericanFirst1]

Privately owned cinemas turned down advertising dollars but the publicly owned bus system didnt? Why do people engage in false equivalence instead of sound logic?

No no,

the problem is something to do with the meaning;

"Subhan is one of the special words in Islam used for proclaiming the glory, purity and supremacy of Allah."



This is like putting "Praise JESUS" sign on a bus in a muslim majority country and roll around
I dont see that ending like this, thats guaranteeeeeed........

Why would putting praise jesus on a sign in a muslim country be a problem? They believe jesus existed.

Yeah that is why the Christians are being slaughtered over there..They are the #1 target

.

Over where?

Over in the Muslim countries..List of Islamic Terror Attacks on Christians

.

Thedoctorisin best defense is denial. You can bet if he is denying it, it must be true.

To make it easy for the ignorant, here is the difference, and it is significant.
First, the Koranic view of Jesus is one of the illustrations of its errors. He is viewed as a prophet, but prophets can never be wrong. Jesus, when questioned, stated, "Before Abraham was, I am." He has to be either mad to say that, and therefore not a prophet, or he is what he says, and much more than a prophet.
As for 'God'; what is the 'name' of 'God' for Jews and Christians? Hint, it isn't a name.
That some 'Christians' say "Allah" means nothing; people calling themselves 'Christian' are very frequently in error.

Apparently, you don't know how to read. The post you criticize states that the generic word 'god' may effectively have the same meaning. It is the specific noun, upper case (know what that is?) 'God' that is different, and in Hebrew it isn't 'Allah'.

Jesus is also considered a prophet by Christians. Pretending that different religions dont worship the same god because they viewed the importance of Jesus differently is pretty weak. They have the same characters in both religions. To be honest all religions actually come from one source. The Egyptian creation myth of Ausar Auset and Heru.
