A video shared by an NGO called Islamic Relief UK shows Islamic symbols being projected on the London Eye Mark, above the city’s iconic red double-decker buses and the VIP grounds outside the United Kingdom’s Parliament in an effort to promote Islam.
Though the projections are only special effects for the video, the digitally altered video itself was widely shared by the group to promote Islam in the country.

Users on X had mixed reactions to the PR stunt:
Fake digitally altered easily seen by the acting of the woman filming on the bus scene, as well as the advertisement on the bus. There is also no light image tech on the London eye to produce this logo. The camera zoom effects are that of After Effects.

It’s fake, thankfully.

The muslims are taking the UK starting with London. Uk will fall if the present government is not voted out. Make elections fair again. Stop election interference. This not what the tax payers want.

That’s “God” in Arabic

It openly ridicules your Christian God.
It says “There is no God but Allah!!”
