After all they are our brothers and sisters in humanity

Any final count on how many homeless all the other churches kicked to the curb during the cold spell?
 
Oldham mosque opens doors for homeless during severe cold

Heres another piece of cynical Muzzie tokenism.

A mosque in Oldham is operating as an overnight shelter for anyone in need of refuge from the streets during the severe conditions which has hit Greater Manchester since Monday and will last throughout the week.

European Islamic Centre (EIC) is one of the largest Muslim facilities in the northwest, which can accommodate up to 5,000 worshipers. They also have spare rooms to accommodate the homeless.

While speaking exclusively to Geo.tv, the centre’s imam, Mohammed Iqbal, said, “If there is need we will be open throughout the night and until needed. We have provided warm clothes to many homeless people but last night we realised those clothes aren’t going to be enough so we now want to open our doors because they too deserve to stay in a place that is warm.”

He added, “This year, the weather has been really bad, the number of rough sleepers in the town has grown immensely so we really felt like this was the right thing to do.”
 
Emergency shelters opened for homeless people in cold snap

There are no legal protections for people sleeping rough in England during severe weather, but most councils offer extra beds when temperatures are forecast to drop below 0C for three consecutive nights.

A survey by the charity Homeless Link found that last winter 118 local authorities provided “severe weather and extended winter provision” (SWEP) to 2,793 people.

Seems a lot of churches are helping.
They don’t just wait for a highly publicised weather event either.
