Immigrant Groups And Charitable Work
34 Answers
Odd that this topic seems contentious.
I think it's wonderful that groups such as Muslim Hands UK engage in much charitable work in this country, as well as their activities abroad. A clip on BBC London this lunchtime showed them giving out food to the hungry and homeless in Enfield, North London.
Similarly, other immigrant groups, both recent and from centuries back - the Sikhs, the Jews, the Hindus, the Buddhists, even the Christians (irony alert) - do huge amounts of good work, often unnoticed, usually not praised. A local Hindu group, for example, was delivering hot food to hospitals and care homes during the Covid crisis - and apart from the recipients, very few here knew about it.
The Sikhs and Hindus also both run 'open house' sessions, giving food to anyone who cares to turn up for a delicious meal.
The next time the anti-Islam brigade start shouting their propaganda on these columns, I think we should all shout louder, telling them what good work these decent people do in our communities.

You appear to be doing a very good impression of these 19th century chaps looking for a fight:

Tora. I've told you before, I'll be your pal, quite happily. I don't think you believe half the nonsense you spout about foreigners and lefties, and I think if we sat down together, you with your pint, me with my tea, we'd find plenty of common ground.
I don't think APG will ever forgive me for having a pop at her BF naomi, but there you go; if it can't be cured, it must be endured.

Yes, true mamya; it's also that Christians historically have always done charitable work, (maybe less so these days), whereas cry 'Muslim' in certain quarters and 'feeding the hungry' isn't what usually springs to mind.
But as Peter doesn't point out (but he would if pressed), the Christians have a pretty bleak record when it comes to the slaughter of the innocents, so I'm glad they are now doing good works...
