Muslim School Kids Collecting Money In Town....

[trt]

This is unbelievable, don't know where the school is, looks Northern, but surely this shouldn't be allowed, and what are they collecting the money for?????????

Children who wander the streets screaming gibberish and begging for money should be taken into care and deprogrammed.

[EDDIE51]

Can't make out what they are saying ( ''hello Romford'' ???) but I only saw 1 man hand one of them money.

[Arksided]

^Lol I couldn't agree more.

I see some very happy children singing.

Not often you're right Eddie, but you're wrong again.

I didn't notice at first Eddie, but they were in and out of the shops collecting money, which were all Muslim owned/run.

You obviously don't live in Romford Anne.

for chrissakes eddie hey are crying

allahu akbar

and at min 4 02 la-la-lill-allah

( there is not God but God )

and then I got bored but I expect - wa Mohammed rasoulihi
to raise his head - ( and Mohd is his messenger )

and no none of them were saying welcome to romford ....

I know exactly where it is - they certainly didn't appear to threaten any passers by, simply stopped at businesses that appeared to know what the collection was all about.

I do grant you they were a tad loud.

[stuey]

Oh boy, you certainly do have problems over there. I imagine that they're learning how to make money in their new-found land of milk and honey.

If that's their school choir I don't think I'll be attend a performance.

The video was taken on Derby Street, Bolton.

All I see it's lots of cheerful children, using the traditional cry of 'Allah is greater', doing a bit of fund-raising for their school. It's probably not much different to all the time our kids (when I was teaching) spent taking draw tickets home for their parents to sell or doing sponsored walks!

[Mamyalynne]

Spot on Chris, mind you a lot of grown men are scared of children en masse.

[stuey]

That might be true; however, the "allah is greater" part is quite grating.

[EDDIE51]

Then they are collecting for an Eid celebration, the big feast after Ramadan.
It is a normal situation for Muslim children.

[douglas9401]

'Welcome to Romford'. Obviously a reference to snooker, on the back of the retirement of Steve Davis from the professional game and the massive competition just past.
A campaign has been launched to promote 'the brown' and 'the black' but completely disregarding 'the pink' or 'the white', encouraging maximum breaks and long rests.
God is grey t'

[Mamyalynne]

I grant you they could be more tuneful, but it's not as grating as some of the vile comments on YouTube under the video.

Well I don't agree Chris, as I have never seen or heard of school kids walking and shouting on the roads, collecting money for whatever reason.

Would the school get the backing from Ofsted? I will let you know when I contact them tomorrow to ask about it.

[stuey]

And yes: eid and ramadan collections are as British as Guy Fawkes collections.
