Adverts For A Muslim Charity Inadvertently Appeared On The Website Of Tommy Robinson, A Notorious Anti-Islam Activist

This year, one particular advertisement — on the side of the Manchester Arena — caused a meltdown from certain elements of the British far right.Anyway, you'll never guess where the advert has also ended up? Well, it's only appeared on the website of the UK's most prominent anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

There were even calls to"DONATE NOW" to Islamic Relief UK right alongside footage of Robinson asking his supporters for money.An Islamic Relief UK spokesperson told BuzzFeed News the group was"not aware" its advertising had appeared on the Robinson website, and has since taken steps to remove it. "Islamic Relief has a suppression list to exclude specific domains from receiving our ads. Our suppression list encompasses anti-Islam websites. However, this particular website was not on the list – we assume that it is a new site and we are grateful to BuzzFeed for drawing this to our attention," they said.

"We have contacted our ad agency and the website has been added to the suppression list, with immediate effect, to ensure our ads are not displayed.""Unfortunately the current climate and the rise in websites like this mean that we have to continually expand our suppression list," the spokesperson added.

So there you have it. In the 2019 dystopia, a Muslim charity had advertising money flowing through Google, and some other advertising middlemen, into the hands of Tommy Robinson.

No. You said what you said. But a women, Muslim, i guess no one is ever allowed to criticise you, or your opinion. And if so, were sexist, and hate Muslims....Nice.

Western Companies Get Tangled in China’s Muslim ClampdownKraft Heinz, Adidas and Gap are among the companies whose supply chains run through Xinjiang, where China is cracking down on its largely Muslim population. Many residents must go through mandatory job-training programs that include political messaging. What exactly is the wrong thing China is making a huge mistake. China will pay an enormous price for crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. So all leftist snob nose companies are actually worse then they claim trump is. By having their goods made in China they support the torture and the destruction of Muslim faith in China.
