Muslim 'peace' adverts launched Islam is peace, where did that come from, it is the name for a Muslim pressure  group who want us to believe that Islam actually is a "Religion of Peace", the organizers say that "many Britons associate Islam with terrorism, well they got that bit right at least. This group are going on a nationwide tour, well considering the previous post I wonder where they got the money from to do this, do I smell Petro Pounds. Sadiq Khan MP said: "This is a fantastic initiative. Islam is a faith whose primary  focus is peace and submission to one God. The submission bit is true and Muslims want to make sure that EVERYBODY submits to their one God - Allah. I find it truly ironic that the day this bunch of moonbats  announce a nationwide  tour proclaiming the Peace of Islam a Bosnian Muslim tries to blow up the US Embassy in Vienna-Islam peaceful- in a pigs eye

An advertising campaign promoting British Muslims as integrated citizens who reject extremism has been launched. Islam is Peace - formed after the bombings in London in July 2005 - has initially placed adverts on the capital's buses and Underground trains. They show a range of Muslims - including a policewoman, a Scout group and the chef Michael Barry - with the slogan "Proud to be a British Muslim". Organizers say research shows many Britons associate Islam with terrorism. Nationwide tour The group insists that the religion demands that its followers live in peace with their neighbours within non-Muslim societies. But it says it recognizes that Muslims have a duty to show that the vast majority of them wish to do so. After the initial London campaign, Islam Is Peace intends to launch a nationwide tour. Ifhat Shaheen-Smith, one of the campaign organizers, said: "In the current atmosphere of suspicion and fear about Islam and British Muslims, truth is often confused with fabrications and stereotypes. "Prejudice has become entrenched and sensationalistic media reporting is creating a climate of paranoia. "There is a desperate need for openness, mutual understanding and a mature debate." 'Bust myths' Following the 7 July bombings, the group has spent tens of thousands of pounds placing adverts in national newspapers in which Muslims reject extremism. Sadiq Khan MP said: "This is a fantastic initiative. Islam is a faith whose primary focus is peace and submission to one God. "This campaign will help to bust some of the myths about Islam and allow the true face of Islam to reach all parts of our country." Secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain Muhammad Abdul Bari said: "The silent majority of Muslims are coming forward and now challenging the islamophobia in sections of our media - it is a brave undertaking." The campaign is launched as a new law banning incitement to religious hatred comes into force.

'Islamic grenade attack' foiled at Vienna embassy

A man has been arrested after trying to enter the US embassy in Vienna carrying explosives and Islamic literature, Austrian police have said.

The 42-year-old, said to be a Bosnian national, was detained after initially fleeing on foot when he set metal detector alarms off at the embassy in the Austrian capital.

As well as Islamic texts and grenade like-explosives his backpack was also laden with nails.

"There were a lot of nails in that bag," a counter terrorism spokeswoman told the Associated Press news agency. "Had it exploded, it would have had an enormous shrapnel effect."

The terror suspect, a resident in nearby Lower Austria province, is now in police custody, the spokeswoman added.

Today's incident comes a month after three individuals of Arab origin were arrested in connection with an online video warning of attacks if Austria and Germany did not withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
