An advertising campaign promoting British Muslims as integrated citizens who reject extremism has been launched.
Islam is Peace – formed after the bombings in London in July 2005 – has initially placed adverts on the capital’s buses and Underground trains.
They show a range of Muslims – including a policewoman, a Scout group and the chef Michael Barry – with the slogan “Proud to be a British Muslim”.
Organisers say research shows many Britons associate Islam with terrorism.
The group insists that the religion demands that its followers live in peace with their neighbours within non-Muslim societies.
But it says it recognises that Muslims have a duty to show that the vast majority of them wish to do so.
After the initial London campaign, Islam Is Peace intends to launch a nationwide tour.
Ifhat Shaheen-Smith, one of the campaign organisers, said: “In the current atmosphere of suspicion and fear about Islam and British Muslims, truth is often confused with fabrications and stereotypes.
“Prejudice has become entrenched and sensationalistic media reporting is creating a climate of paranoia.
“There is a desperate need for openness, mutual understanding and a mature debate.”
Following the 7 July bombings, the group has spent tens of thousands of pounds placing adverts in national newspapers in which Muslims reject extremism.
Sadiq Khan MP said: “This is a fantastic initiative. Islam is a faith whose primary focus is peace and submission to one God.
“This campaign will help to bust some of the myths about Islam and allow the true face of Islam to reach all parts of our country.”
Secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain Muhammad Abdul Bari said: “The silent majority of Muslims are coming forward and now challenging the islamophobia in sections of our media – it is a brave undertaking.”
The campaign is launched as a new law banning incitement to religious hatred comes into force.

These initiatives are well-meant, but are they misguided? They perpetuate the myth that “Islamic terrorists” are behind 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Bali etc…
They best way to counteract the New World Order propaganda campaign against the Muslims is by becoming a living example of the beauty of Islam. By demonstrating the true Islamic virtues.
Ramadan mubarak!

Bollywood coming to Weymouth Dorset.
We want Asians to be known as the forerunners in striving to achieve World peace.
Since 9/11 Asians have been targeted as terrorists they have been spat on, verbally abused.
Places of worship have been desecrated.
Here in the U.K. in big cities and Towns Asians have been afraid to walk down the street.
Every time a new threat is heard of the tensions are felt once again.
I want the World to know that Asians are a kind hard working and peace loving people.
We want every Asian around the World to sign the petition to ask our World leaders for a
cease fire for one day every year. November 29th.
This petition is open to everyone we just want the World to know that Muslim’s instigated it.

I do not have, I will not have anything against anyone in the World.
But I will always be against lies, falsities, wrong principles, wrong doings, no matter where they come from. And TRUTH can not will not be based on lies, self evident misbehaviors and misconducts, that by mental blindness and stubborness are imposed no matter on whom.
For the well behaved and well guided, I will allways give my full support in the correct circumstances. For the wrong doings and wrong behaviors, my denouncement of the false realities.
WAKE UP islam (stop destroying yourselves and the God created Mankind and world) AND RAISE UP IN UNISSON AGAINST ISLAMO-FASCISM! Stop your involution with the devil that is leading your satanic islamo-fascist cult, and BE CHRISTIAN!
The arab leader of the 7th century (D.C.) never was and never will be a prophet in the Religious sense of the word. The arab mohammad was a criminal in the complete sense of the word:
(1) he killed by his sword and personally cut the throat to several hundreds (cumulatively, thousands!) of what he considered enemies (just because they were Jews or Christians and did not believe in him, a criminal!)
(2) he was a hatemonger because hated is enemies and therefore incited his stupid followers to kill and persecute in his false name (it is written in the false quran, reason for which it does not emanate from God; may be from the devil or any pig you want)
(3) he was not a peacemaker (as Jesus Christ was; as well as St Francis of Assissi, St Theresa of Avila, St Francis Xavier, Dr Livingstone, MK Gandhi, ML King, Mother Theresa of Calcutta, Pope John Paul II, even Nelson Mandela, etc) and in his name and because of this islamo-fascist cult, millions of Christians and Jews were killed murdered or enslaved from the 8th to the 12th centuries, from Syria and Iran to Palestine, to northern Egypt, and northern Africa until Morocco; and the thousands of churches and synagogues these deceivers and un-holly people destroyed because of their mental blindness racism and stubbornness.
(4) he was a womanger, since he had 10 official wives, 3 concubines and several others non-nominated female slaves
(5) with the third wife (Aisha) he even was a paedophile by any Human Standards (but not under animal standards) since he consumed the physical act even before her to become a teenager
(6) he was a male chauvinistic in view of his tremendous and continuous disrespect for women
(7) he was a liar since he never was a prophet from God, because God does not select for His messenger this type of erratic criminal behaviour (may be he was on service of the devil, but never was on God Holy service)
(9) he was a falsifier and deceiver, since he recited copied plagiated and forged several parts of the HOLY BIBLE and presented Its Holy contents and ideas in a distorted way, as prepared hoaxes and false ideas only full of biased arab origins (or ordered others to do so, since he was illiterate). The false book koran or quran (that does not have nothing of holy that was not said before) contains distortions of the HOLY BIBLE so it is a falsification forgery and partial adaptation – so much distorted and adjusted to arab local interests and to the reality of the false prophet life and his real sinful existence.
(10) most of quran contents (above 70%) refer to incitements to killings to destructions violations assault, falsely legalizing for this islamofascist cult anything done to anyone non-muslim, also True God created. So its contents cannot come from God, but solely from the sinner and criminal mohammad and his blind followers (eventually with evil’s influence).
(11) his false inspired book allows for bestiality, paedophilia, even prostitution and rape with non-islamic, so never could emanate from the perfect God concept, the One and Only
(12) he never was an never will be a prophet, because he did not prophesize anything
(13) under Law and Justice, mohammad or mafoma will always be a criminal, a murderer and a leader full of prejudice that incited several crimes to Mankind created in God’s Image. If he was alive he had to be judged by these known crimes against Humanity (and many others not here listed), listed and set as example in the false religious book coran or quran, and be in jail several years for them (or have his hands cut, his head cut, stoned to death, etc by his own standards in his false religious book), and by having led his arab followers in a wrong, pharisaic, confused, out-of-focus, lying and misleading way. Such criminal must be in hell for the sufferings this psychopath impinged on his akin, on others at his time and throughout the world thereafter. Definitely not a man of God, may be only an instrument of the devil in disturbing then and now the Mankind peaceful co-existence otherwise.
(14) besides all these crimes and sinful attitudes he, and the one’s who wrote and adapted the ‘koran’ for him (150 years after his death), still exerted the final arrogance of claiming for mohammad to be the last prophet! That is absolutely ridiculous, to say the least, since with such un-holly arrogance he his trying to silence God and All of His Holy Messengers (of whose list he will never belong).
(15) because of being one of the most successful criminals and deceivers of Mankind (may be with devil’s help!), the arab merchant and sinner mohammad was then converted into an economic political and tribal leader, but he also revelled to have a psychopath a racist and a schizophrenic character common to mentally-blind illiterate people.
What is regretful is that some pious, God’s fear and God’s devoting character of many non-Christian arabs and middle east citizens, is not devoted to Jesus Christ. Under Law and Justice there is nothing to judge Jesus Christ for: He was a Lover of All Mankind, believers and gentiles,jews and non-jews,God-abiding people and people labelled by public as sinners !
Jesus Christ only gave examples of The Great Lover of Mankind and his best Peacemaker. Jesus Christ was is and will always be The Holy Being, a Holy Soul!.
Jesus Christ is the true God, the one and Only God of Jews (from whom Arabs also supposedly descend, from Abraham, as half-brothers) and Christians (and one day also The Prophet-God Messanger of the present muslims that will understand the falsity that has been followed), the Almighty Reason and Perfect karma of Buddhists and Hinduism, the God of gods of many civilizations not directly visited or witnessing His Human facet (Jesus Christ Himself).
In modern scientific terms, Jesus Christ can be thought as the three-dimensional intersection of God’s multi-dimensional space with our three-dimensional human physical space on Earth and the Universe; so Jesus Christ is also the Creator or Cause of the Universe, and the leitmotiv of Humanity existence on His Image.
WAKE UP islam (stop destroying yourselves and the God created Mankind and world) AND RAISE UP IN UNISSON AGAINST ISLAMO-FASCISM! Stop your involution with the devil that is leading your satanic islamo-fascist cult, and BE CHRISTIAN for ever and ever.
I post this as a help for all needed, and as a Human Testimony of my personal saga turning away FOREVER from islam and starting my happy harmonious hopeful loving catholic or universal survival with Jesus Christ, the Lover of Mankind and of All God Creation (imperfect and criminal are the liars and distorters of TRUTH, the hatemongers and the one’s who incite hate and persecutions).
I rejected islam for ever, because by rationally it is one of the biggest Mankind lies and falsities. One day all the muslim will be christians, when they lose their mental blindness, stubbornness and sinful pride on nothing but a sinner and criminal character and of the opportunistic racist initial leaders and followers.
Become free as I became, liberating myself forever from the blind intolerance of irrationality.
Nevertheless, may God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Thought or Holy Spirit of His Perfection and Holy Character be with you all, illuminating your path in the present darkness.
