Praise Allah to be on British buses

I hate advertisements of all nature equally. No advert has ever convinced me to buy something that I wasn't going to buy.

I thought the CoE took a massive battering over some Lord's Prayer campaign not that long ago. Personally can't recall the details but the secular groups went ape ^&%^.

No, Cinemas declined to show an advert featuring the Lords Prayer before Star Wars, the Church said it was unhappy and then got tons of free advertising as loads of people clicked on the online version of the ad. Nothing to do with buses and nothing to do with complaints from secular groups. Though there was some suggestion that the reason the cinemas refused was to make sure they didn't offend non Christian religious people...

Disagree with this. The Lords prayer was banned/censored recently. Religions if "advertised" should be done so equally.

Blasphemy laws in Shariah courts will be on the cards within the next decade or so.

The Lords Prayer was neither Banned or Censored, the rest of your prediction is based on nothing but your own warped belief.

I don't think it's unreasonable to worry about Britain being influenced by Islamic culture, we are at rather opposite ends of the spectrum socially. Easy to dismiss everyone who has that concern as a "knuckle dragger" though.

It's unreasonable and frankly asinine to assume that Islamic culture is represented by the Murderers in London.
They were brainwashed cowards that were making more a political statement than a religious one, they even said so themselves.

I didn't even mention terrorist attacks. I'm talking about the general ultra conservative views of Islam vs those of Western society

Ah good, I couldn't remember the entire gist of it, just that it was one of the 30 minute slots on Jeremy Vine one day some months ago.

Was it banned?

Or was an advert making specific claims banned?
There is a world of difference.

I don't see a problem with it, IIRC pretty much every religious denomination has done similar advertising, and it's legal as long as it doesn't make specific claims, or breach the law in other ways.

And don't be so silly, we won't see such laws or courts (at least not in the sense you're meaning).

Was it censored?

Specific claims? We could cite specifics from Islam but they are dismissed as Islamophobic/untrue/out of context or whatever else they can use to deflect away from the facts. Fascism lite if you will.

We already see Shariah courts WW, again that is fact, its easy to start down the road of "don't be silly", but that ignores the fundamentals of reality. You do realize that it is Gods Law and I would bet 99.9% of Muslims agree Gods Law us superior to all and any Laws by us.

Someone calling Islam a cult and saying that those who commit atrocities who are in some way identified with Islam reflect mainstream Islamic attitude deserves some 'reeducation'.
 
Would a Muslim country allow "praise our christian god" on the side of their buses? No they wouldn't so in the name of equality id have to say no.

This has nothing to do with terrorism, it's not even been mentioned. I'm talking about Islamic culture in regards to their ultra conservative views and how they clash with more socially Liberal Western views.

Not all in Islam share identical views in my experience.

The underlying doctrine that ultimately they agree to follow isn't going to change, even if they personally don't agree with all of it, there's always going to be a desire to change views and Laws to be closer to that of Islamic countries.

We'll the old testament is pretty wacky too, I'm no fan of skyfaries, I've yet to see a religion without some serious short comings.
 
All forms of religion shouldn't be advertised, almost always leads to arguing or some form of fighting between those which hold high opinions of what they believe in.
