Kingston’s buses are set to carry messages of peace in an effort to counter extremists who hijack the Islamic faith for political means.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim community will also distribute thousands of leaflets on the subject of loyalty, freedom, equality, respect and peace, to reassert true Islamic principles.

Buses in Kingston will carry the message “Love for All Hatred for None”.


Naseer Dean, president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of London said: “The true peaceful Islam is poles apart from the hatred that is preached by a minority.

“Such extremists do not represent Islam, yet through their exploitation of the media, their words and deeds have a damaging impact on community relations and the daily lives of Muslims and non‐Muslims.

"By emphasising the values highlighted in this campaign we hope to facilitate a better understanding of Islam so that people are able judge for themselves the actions of those who claim to speak and act in its good name.

"Islam stresses the promotion of peace in words and deeds."
