London's Iconic Red Buses To Declare '€˜Glory To Allah'
2016-05-09
[Breitbart] Britain’s largest Islamic charity says it wants to "break down barriers" and portray Islam positively by launching a new advertising campaign which will slap the phrase "glory to Allah" on the side of London buses.

The new campaign by Islamic Relief is, ostensibly, targeted at raising donations for their Ramadan aid to Syria, but is attracting attention for the "hundreds" of buses which will be decorated with the phrase "Subhan’Allah", or ’Glory to Allah’.

Muslims reading the advert are told that to "gather the rewards of Ramadan", they must to donate to Islamic Relief, and organisation which had its accounts with banking giant HSBC closed due to "concerns that cash for aid could end up with terrorist groups abroad".

Public transport has been chosen for the Islamic re-branding in London, Manchester, Leicester, Birmingham, and Bradford ‐ all UK locations with high and growing Muslim populations, reports the Sunday Times.

#5  Someone should follow up this 'Glory to Allah' with one with the exact same banner - but also featuring that picture of the Israeli bus. Glory to Allah indeed.

#4   About fifteen years ago the UK Charity Commission investigated allegations made against charities in the UK. There were then some 185,000 registered charities in England and Wales, and analysts knew that at least a dozen were penetrated by terrorist organizations. The Commission report indicated that there was nothing to worry about. Since then, John Bull has stuck his head in the sand, or up his... Londonistan has finally become a reality.

#3  At first glimpse one would think a bus marked in Arabic would be a safe transport.

Then I found "Subhan’Allah" is really a prelude to the Tasbhih of annihilation and ascension. I can only imagine this marketing scheme will incense the already unstable faithful.
