Hundreds of buses across the United Kingdom are set to carry the posters praising Allah during the religious festival Ramadan. The move comes just months after an advertizement featuring the Lord's Prayer banned from the cinemas in the UK.
The adverts will carry the Arabic words "Subhan Allah" meaning "Glory be to God". The initiative is a pert of charity Islamic Relief's drive to raise money for Syrian refugees.
The poster will be carried on the public transport in Birmingham, London, Bradford, Manchester and Leicester during the month of Ramadan, which begins on June 7.
Simon Calvert, of the Christian Institute, said that, he hoped the Allah advert “signals the beginning of a new era of greater expressions of the Christian faith, which seems to have become persona non grata.”
“People were surprised by the cinema advertising agenda to ban the Lord's Prayer something we all grew up with,” He added.
“Audiences are capable of hearing expressions of Christian faith without running away screaming in horror.”
“If other religions are allowed to put their religious banners up, then so should Christians,”Former Tory MP Ann Widdecombe said.
