|
|
I was down Oxford street today.
And there was a crowd of people near Oxford Circus handing out bibles written in ARABIC and DVDs printed in ARABIC to every ethnic looking person that went past.
They were saying - shouting in fact - they want to 'save' all muslims.
i must say the pack was very neatly presented and looked quality.
But as i neither read nor speak arabic i have no means to verify it's contents or watch the dvd.
The fact that they must have had these things mass produced and stockpiled was a thought that crossed my mind _________________

Thanks Stellios
It would be useful to
1) get a copy, we could then get it translated
2) find out who the evangelicals are and if possible who is behind them.
I could just imagine how this would be portrayed if the reverse was the case |

Hi Stellios, I have seen them too but I picked up some leaflets a couple of months ago aimed at educating people about Islam and how jesus plays a big part in the Koran.
I stopped and had a chat but maybe my questions about the way they treat Women did not go down too well but they were polite. I've seen them a few times so it is ongoing.
Oxford circus is a hotspot for the preachers. Mainly banging on about Jesus.

As you know Jesus (pbuh) does play a very big role in the Koran.
I dont think that is what they mean though. _________________

I thought they wanted to SAVE everyone? Well everyone that did not believe in Jesus as God or God's Son. Why are Muslim's getting this special treatment? |

As usual the crusaders are barking up the wrong tree.
Most Muslims in Britain are NOT arabic speakers, so it is a very limited number of people they can hit with this pack.
And the fact is many arab speakers living in Britain are actually Christians.
EG Egyptians, Lebanese and Palestinians.
The Bulk of British Muslims parents originally came from Turkey, Nigeria and the Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi sub continent.
So their marketing strategy is flawed.
Another problem with racial profiling.
Many Muslims today are actually white British converts, or afro carribean British converts. To whom an arabic dvd is pointless.
I would recommend they target their efforts at the freemason Babylonian devil worshippers in Britain such as Tony Blair. And try and save their souls. _________________

yes funnily enough. Why didn't I think of that? Most Muslims in this country do not read or speak Arabic lol. Only for sake of pronounciation for the sake of Quran recitation. Me personally, I am still reading my Quran in English.
So erm... they somehow got their facts wrong, if they thought all Muslims were fluent Arab speakers, though perhaps in an Ideal world, every Muslim would be fluent in Arabic. I would love to be, its such a beautiful and rich language. |
