Big winner big loser


During my teen years I have come across one book in urdu “ janat ka manzar, marnay kay baad kia ho ga” (view of  heaven what will happen after death) written by Islam or salam. This book has terrifying language which still affected me after reading it years ago. The Muslim writers or Islamic culture has no concept of psychological effects of books on children.
Like charities used to have back street shops or no shops at all. The banks and chain store used to occupy high street shops or offices. Many British chain store like Woolworth, C & A , Kiwiksave , safeway, DO it yourself, Mfi, somerfield  and others has been closed down due to higher taxes, business rates and higher employee wages. There was one winner in these financial hard times which is charities. These charities has collected too much for good  causes and ends up most part of people’s hard earned money in charities high street shop rents and wages to managements salaries. No tax, No vat, No business rates, even more money from inspector of taxes in the form of gift scheme.

If you look at salaries of the directors or managers of these charities they are high earner too. Most donations ends up for the management of the charities. For example most charities pays 15% to its street collectors.

This charity business takes me again to my teen or childhood years where there was one mosque under construction on Shorkot Cant (a railway station in Pakistan) and any train used to pass this station, one man used to enter the train and starts reading Quranic verses and used to tell people or passengers on the train give donation for construction of the mosque. He used to tell this is “Sadqa Jariya”  (donation for ever). People will come and pray in the mosque and by this way you will get rewards from god for ever. This type of donation collection became very popular in Pakistan in the form of fake orphanages, fake charities , fake sufi mystics and fortune telling professors of Lahore. There was lawless ness in the country and no regulations about donation collections. Some religious groups started their terrorist activities.This all happened in Pakistan in few decades.

Few years back I had trip to Pakistan  and passed through this town Shorkot cant and this mosque is still under construction and collectors comes on trains for donations.

I remember one muslim charity “Human Appeal International” have started by one arab in whalley range area from his flat and I went to him to donate some Pakistani clothes. This particular charity then rented one full floor for its office in Manchester city centre Oldham street and now I think they have offices in multi story building on Wilmslow road Manchester. According to one of its management member (sudani origin) Alhamdulillah Our business is in millions now.

In Muslims it is like they call “pher chaal” (one sheep follows other). One person started as a bus driver and other friends and his neighbours starts becoming bus driver.It also applies to taxis grocery shops, insurance claims, post offices, restaurants, take aways, and kebab shops etc. Some people rented shops and put signs of colleges and became
Human traffickers by charging heavy fees admitting foreign students and by this way arranging visas to Britain.


Charity business is so lucrative that it brought many Arab and Pakistani Muslims to this charity business. Now there are many Muslim charities and are not few. They are in hundreds. What are there activities? I have a friend working in the Muslim charity. According to him and in his words It is really very easy to do it. Just have a trip to any country and get one cloth banner. When you have these two get some food packets and hang out banner somewhere and start distributing packets and have photos taken. This is start of business. Write down by laws of charity and get registered.
Out of these hundreds Muslim charities many charities funds terrorist groups around the world. There is no control of British government on these charities or on their activities abroad. I think Britain is heading towards lawlessness when people like these comes out in gangs on British streets and Iam afraid to say that British government has not enough resources to control  these type of  riots. Few years back British riots is one example where few hundred had started looting and burning shops . As far I remember London alone government deployed around 18000 police force to just control only few hundreds. What about if they are in thousands in every city

When Russia invaded Afghanistan many refugees moved to Pakistan and it was mistake of Pakistani government of that time when they settled many afghan refugees in Punjab villages and also giving them fire arm licences for protection. One police station used to control about 45 villages. It means one police station area had 46 fire arms owned by afghan refugees which were licensed and what about unlicensed they had in their possession. The police station who controls or look after these 45 villages used to have few guns i.e. 10 to 15 may be.

When Christian charities goes for donations they use carefully chosen wording i.e. donation for good cause and donation to help for needy or poor etc. but on the other hand Muslim or Islamic charities use wordings to collect donations which are in breach of  advertising standards . lets see their wordings,   1- give donations to help poor and hungry to get rewards in next life,  2-give donations and you get many times in the next life, 3- feed one hungry and get rewards of hundreds. The wordings they use are might be ok in Muslim countries or culture but it does not fit in the British advertising standards and also sue able in the British legal system.

Many of these Muslim or Islamic charities have connections with Muslim governments or run by them. i.e. most mosques are charities and  partly or fully funded by some Muslim countries. It is not only charities or mosques but also Muslim organisations
have connections with some Muslim governments. One example of this jigsaw  puzzle is
Uk Islamic mission. Few years ago they organised a conference of Saudi students organisation on their premises in Leicester. It is big place on few acres. This place has many employees imported from Pakistan or Indian Jamaat Islami mainly of bhia or hindustani stock now all are British citizens. This conference had few stalls and one of them was of books. This stall owner or employee was a young man in his mid twenties and of Egyptian origin. Anyone was buying books from him he use to put some sort of leaflets with purchased books .What was in this or these leaflets? I don’t know but I still remember this incident. Those days I wasn’t that curious to pay attention to these type of things. The Saudi ambassador to London was chief guest in that conference. Someone reported it to the ambassador. This stall holder brought in front of Saudi ambassador for questioning and then ordered to leave the premises immediately. He packed his books stall and left.

The point is there is some link between these charities and foreign governments and question is why these charities are allowed to work freehandedly and unmanaged.
