Manchester Bombing: Muslisms raise thousands of pounds for victims after attack

[Soraru]

One effort led by non-governmental organisation Muslim Engagement and Development has raised more than ?2,300.
Dr Shazad Amin, CEO of MEND said, "It is a fundamental part of our faith to help those in need, irrespective of their background." "The Muslim community stands shoulder to shoulder with victims (and their families) of these atrocities."

Another fundraising campaign is being led by the British Muslim Heritage Centre, along with organisations such as the Islamic Society of Britain, and has raised more than ?700 within a few hours.

Im really happy that the victims/families of victims are getting financial support not only from Ariana who offered to pay for the funerals for the families who lost a loved one in the bombing, but also financial support from the Muslim community. I personally doubt stories like these will get much coverage in the news stations in the US because of major fear and hatred with anti-muslim attitudes that associate the definition of terrorism to a religion (i dont see the same type of mass prosecution happening for christians when the kkk's stance is to terrorize/kill anyone who isnt white.) which is dissapointing because its important for news like these to be acknowledged, but im glad nevertheless that its being acknowledged SOMEWHERE.

But to end things on a lighter, more positive note, here is also some more stories of people supporting/helping the victims.

It's amazing that these people are doing this and I'm not even a little surprised that news ain't covering it. Heavens forbid we show anything that conflicts with the "all Muslims are out to hurt you!" narrative.

yeah your right, its like theyre trying to be consistent in promoting an anti-muslim propaganda, under the beleif that being muslim is thee definition of terrorism. since people can be so ignorant, their mindset is: anyone wearing cloth on their heads = muslim. im pretty sure even sikh always gets confused for muslim. so many people would see this news and ignore it/deny it/unacknowledge it. but its important for at least one person to put it out there.

thanks for reading~ i agree on that, it would be better for more news outlets to report, and unfortunately, lots of people ignore/disregard this type of news. but the few people who do are the ones who matter.
