t h e P a s s i o n - By Shakir Ahmed<br />

British Muslims should take<br />

example from US Muslims<br />

An American Muslim advocacy<br />

group (CAIR) launched a massive<br />

advertisement campaign in New York<br />

City’s infamous Times Square in a bid<br />

to present to millions of Americans<br />

a “fair” and “accurate” portrayal of<br />

Islam. The ad is expected to run on<br />

New Year’s Eve when at least one<br />

million will gather for celebrations.<br />

This shows how advance US<br />

Muslims are in portraying the true<br />

religion, like it or not mast majority<br />

of UK non Muslims still see Islam<br />

as a violent religion, mainly down<br />

to the mainstream UK media’s<br />

false coverage and also their own<br />

ignorance to learn the true Islam<br />

through the Sunnah and Quran.<br />

Why can’t the British Muslim do<br />

the same have a massive campaign<br />

leading up to New Year eve in the<br />

heart of London, it is time British<br />

Muslims did more to educate non<br />

Muslims of our faith to tell them that<br />

this religion is pure safe and nothing<br />

to be scared of, let’s send out the<br />

same message that US Muslims are<br />

doing.<br />

I think it’s time?<br />
