Immigrant Groups And Charitable Work
34 Answers
Odd that this topic seems contentious.
I think it's wonderful that groups such as Muslim Hands UK engage in much charitable work in this country, as well as their activities abroad. A clip on BBC London this lunchtime showed them giving out food to the hungry and homeless in Enfield, North London.
Similarly, other immigrant groups, both recent and from centuries back - the Sikhs, the Jews, the Hindus, the Buddhists, even the Christians (irony alert) - do huge amounts of good work, often unnoticed, usually not praised. A local Hindu group, for example, was delivering hot food to hospitals and care homes during the Covid crisis - and apart from the recipients, very few here knew about it.
The Sikhs and Hindus also both run 'open house' sessions, giving food to anyone who cares to turn up for a delicious meal.
The next time the anti-Islam brigade start shouting their propaganda on these columns, I think we should all shout louder, telling them what good work these decent people do in our communities.

It is, Mamya, and in many ways even more so when they are 'in-comers' - strangers, who (so the story goes) 'keep themselves to themselves'. They DON'T keep themselves to themselves, that's the truth. They get involved, they help, they join in.
It's about time THIS was shouted out, not the usual rubbish!

//Who the heck calls Muslims, Sikhs or whatever 'Strangers' in this day and age?//
I've seen them called much worse on here Polly. Might be good for us all to remember them as neighbours rather than strangers the next time some ABer calls for them to go back where they came from.
I agree with Mamya and Woofy, ALL charity work, those who give to the needy, is commendable.
