It seems the UK muslims are worried that people are starting to see through their efforts to hide the crimes of mohammed and his legions of minions.
In advertising the process of repeating a simple slogan until it becomes well known and gives the product name recognition is called “branding”. Does it work? Ever heard the phrase “islam is peace”?
Do not question the method; it has proven successful, question the Brits, are they stupid enough to fall for this scam?

Prominent British Muslims are being recruited to star in a government-backed advertising campaign aimed at preventing people in Pakistan from engaging in extremist activity, the Guardian has learned.
-Somehow British muslims calling for Pakistani muslims to behave themselves seems like a waste of time, money and effort. Once this scam has proven to be a failure the British muslims will shrug their shoulders and claim they tried. Local politicians will heap praise on the tolerant muslims for the valiant attempt.
The three-month public relations offensive, called I Am the West, consists of television commercials and high-profile events in regions such as Peshawar and Mirpur. It is being funded by the Foreign Office which is paying up to £400,000 for a pilot project.
-“Offensive” being the operative word.
Starring in the first three adverts are Sadiq Khan, the communities minister, Jehangir Malik, the UK manager of Islamic Relief, English cricketer Moeen Ali and the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Chaudry Abdul Rashid, who is from Mirpur. Mirpuris represent around 70% of Britain’s Pakistani population.
-They all represent a seventh century pedophile, murderer, rapist, slave master and common thief.
According to a project synopsis, the target audience is 15-25-year-old males who are “less than well-educated and worldly wise, but potentially susceptible to extremist doctrines”. If successful, it will be implemented in Egypt, Yemen and Indonesia.
-What – no Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Sudan? (more…)
