Flash Mob! feed the homeless at Ramadan

Flash Mob in Picadilly Gardens, Manchester UK!
During Ramadan, a group of Muslims decide to break their fast with the homeless people of Manchester.... and with anyone who wanted join in.

People from all different backgrounds and faiths attended this spectacular event, learnt something about each other beyond what is read in the headlines, and even defeated a bit of racism to boot.

Overall, great atmosphere, great event!
Make sure you come to the next one!

Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 11

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

A man asked the Prophet , "What sort of deeds or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" The Prophet replied, 'To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not Know (See Hadith No. 27).

@MrBillyLaw I prefer this not to be in the news. Let their intentions remain pure. Let them help the homeless because they want to help the homeless, not because they want to show the world that they want to help the homeless. May the Al-Mighty grant us the strength to keep practicing Islam in the open or not.

WOW it is actually against the law to distribute free food to the homeless? This sounds like a law that was designed to make the homeless (out of sight out of mind).
