‘Allahu Akbar’ Echoes Across Britain as BBC Broadcasts ‘Azaan’ for the First Time

BBC also broadcasts Imam's recitation of verses from the Holy Quran and quotes of Holy Prophet before delivering the sermon and leading the listeners in prayers. Every Friday the program 'Islamic Reflections' led by an Imam will be broadcasted.

In a first, BBC begins the broadcast of Muslim prayers on its network as mosques shut down across Britain, part of the extensive measures against coronavirus.

Hence, British-Muslims will hear the Friday prayers broadcast on BBC Radio for the first time. Different imams lead the 5:50 am broadcasts every week on Friday from 14 local radio stations of BBC.

The imam recites verses from the Holy Quran and quotes of Holy Prophet before delivering the sermon and leading the listeners in prayers. The program is titled, ‘Islamic Reflections’. The arrangements have been made to facilitate the Muslim community to the run-up to the month of Ramadan till the end of April.

Each week a different imam will lead the morning program on Friday.

“Local radio is all about connecting communities, and we hope these weekly reflections will go some way to helping Muslims feel a sense of community while they are isolating,” said Chris Burns, the head of BBC Local Radio.

My sister-in-law works in Londonistan. A nephew lives in England as he is stationed there with the US Air Force
Both tell me that GB’s capitulation to the islamists is nearly complete across most of GB’s society. They tell me that the lesson the people over there learned after 9/11 was not “a great resolve” but, fear and capitulation.
They tell me that over there their Libs are far more dominant than in the USA. They say that our Tea Party movement had spurred some hope for resistance among the patriots there but, it slowly fizzled out.
Then, we elected Donald Trump and they tell me this, far more than the Tea Party movement revived the fizzled out patriotic movement in GB.

Now that the call to prayer has sounded over the land Islam figures the country belongs to it. It is automatically Jihad to remove them.

Submission is the english translation of islam. Welcome to Satans rule, those who walked away from God. I real lesson to be learned in the future for the remainder of England.

It died with a whimper to rape.

I’ve been enjoying watching Midsomer Murders on Roku during the COVID isolation. I guess that will be a time capsule of what GB used to be like. You don’t see muzzlimes in those episodes, only classic British characters.

The elites of the West have betrayed us and it’s time to cash them off.
