Think Muslims don’t like poppies? Maybe you should see these volunteers

First topic message reminder :

Apparently all Muslims hate Remembrance Day.
Well, that’s if Britain First and are to be believed – but unsurprisingly, they’re talking total BS.
And if you need proof, here it is:

These pictures show fundraisers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), waiting around in miserable weather, selling poppies.

Not only that.
In July, 25 AMYA members hiked in the Bavarian Alps to raise money for the Royal British Legion – four months before Remembrance Day.
In the end, they raised £5,964.89.

Deborah Armantrading, north west London community fundraiser for the Royal British Legion, said in July that AMYA has always been a great supporter.

‘The association has been crucial in raising funds for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal for several years participating in mass collections all over the UK, providing us with a significant number of volunteer collectors and raising amazing totals,’ she said.


‘The Legion is extremely pleased with the enthusiasm and commitment from all of the volunteers. We enjoy working with AMYA as they are dedicated and passionate about their charity work, and the Poppy Appeal would not be the same without their help.’

This isn’t the first time the group has raised money for the Poppy Appeal either – they do it every year.
More than 1.3million soldiers from the Indian Army fought in the First World War. Around 400,000 of these soldiers were Muslims.

Mirza Waqas Ahmad, national president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, told Metro.co.uk: ‘Service to humanity is part of our faith and collecting for the Poppy Appeal is just one of numerous initiatives.

‘On Remembrance Sunday we held our flagship charity fundraising event, the mercy4mankind charity challenge and have raised almost £400,000 for UK charities, including the Royal British Legion.

‘Our youth are regularly out and about donating blood, planting trees, visiting the sick and elderly, and making a positive contribution to the community and country as a whole.

‘We do this as Islam teaches us service to humanity.’

Tommy still fails to answer the points made

Try again\


So where the Jihad was called before 1916, Tommy has still not explained why Muslims would superscede their own faith, if as he believes its a Muslims duty to do so?
I mean independence or not or even money, are you proving that Muslims do not then follow such calls for jihad, no matter off the supreme Ruler?

Even funnier where thousands fought against the Turks with no hope of obatining power or the money, yet their leaders would, how were they fighting for power, when it was just an eliete few who did?
So again Tommy's argument has just fallen apart

He's caught in a trap, he cant walk out, because he's such a loser baby. Well don't you know, he's caught in a trap..

They will turn each over for more money and power too... just like their prophet did to countless others...



Maybe those from nearer mecca thought the others 'weren't proper Muslims' anyway so sought to take over and impose proper Islam on them all...!?

Did not happen, again only the elite benefited

Night Tommy, I shall leave you to ponder why you ended up screwing up your own argument lol


Night everyone

Night Didge, as you didn't pm Eddie I guess you forgot what you said as it was a lie.  Never mind, I'm sure you'll be scouring the threads to find out where you said it.

So anyways back on topic - good on them. I miss being able to buy my yearly poppies (cause I always lost a few as I'm not good with pins). I have one more left so I save it till the 11th and wear it with pride.
