"Inspired by Muhammad" aims to promote Islam as a faith which contributes positively to British society.
Posters of Muslims with captions like: "I believe in rights for women ... so did Muhammad" will feature at bus stops, Tube stations and on London cabs.
It is a reaction to a YouGov poll which found that 58% of the British population surveyed associated Islam with extremism, 50% associate it with terrorism and 68% feel the religion encourages the repression of women.
TV presenter and Islam convert Kristiane Backer is one of the faces of the campaign.
She said: "This negative image is the reason for the need of a campaign, the reason for coming out with some positive news, reflecting the truth and showing what Islam is about.
Kristiane Backer is a strong advocate of Islam"Values of compassion, peace, mercy, women's rights, social justice - these are all part of Islam..........
That is wonderful Campaign, I love it and I will support such campaign in every way . We all should do., Such +ve approach from educated Muslim is another way of moving forward.. But my problem is
Kristiane Backer., Muslims should know that Kristiane was/is NOT a Muslim.
In good old days everything is used to go to Rome or everything is used to go to Madina. Now., everything goes in to Pakistan.. Once upon a time
Kristiane Backer was a girl friend of Imran Khan.. The Captain of Pakistan Cricket team., Most useless politician of Present day Pakistan..
SO
Kristiane Backer's Islam is as good as Islam of Imran Khan when he was Playing Cricket 20 years back..
