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.

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

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?

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.

They arent advertising religion. They are a charity raising money to help Syrian refugees.

Islamic Relief has helped more than 100 million people across the world since it was established in Birmingham in 1984.
More than £140 million has been sent in aid to Syria - supporting around 6.5 million people.
The charity works with 33 countries and supports people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Any British charity is free to do so. They should be commended not attacked.

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?

The cinemas would have accepted this ad because it is a charity appeal.

The charity has long been linked to extremists and to Hamas.

Virtuous Extremism

...Politicians certainly seem keen to praise the efforts of Islamic groups. Charities such as Islamic Relief receive tens of millions of pounds from the British government, the European Union and the United Nations. Cabinet ministers, members of the royal family and political parties have all expressed support for the charity’s work.

Islamic Relief is an important component, however, of the global Muslim Brotherhood movement. Its directors have included Ahmed Al-Rawi, a Muslim Brotherhood leader who, in 2004, supported jihad against British and American troops in Iraq; and Essam El-Haddad, who is accused by an Egyptian court of divulging state secrets to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, and using Islamic Relief to finance global terrorism.

In Gaza, Islamic Relief funds Hamas front organisations, including the Islamic University of Gaza and the Al-Falah Benevolent Society. Islamic Relief has also received money from Yemeni terror charities, such as the Charitable Society for Social Welfare, which was established by the US-designated terrorist and “Bin Laden loyalist,” Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani...

Virtuous Extremism

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........

Did Allah do that?

An advert on public buses that reads 'praise Allah' is advertising and promoting religion.

I agree. I'm not getting what that has to do with one entity deciding to take advertising dollars and another company not taking them. if it said praise the lord would that be wrong?

They are no different to Christian Aid who also advertise extensively.

This is not about Jesus, this is about religion
