6% of the UK population are Muslim, and 4% of UK MPs are Muslim. Stop all this bullshit that they are somehow taking over and controlling the country. It's all just far right propaganda. I'd rather see a decent Muslim with honest values who serves their community as an MP, than the utter scumbag, criminal, wife beating grifters who represent the far right.

Replying to @ZiaYusufUK
Yes, she was born in Somalia, but she is British, just as you, a Sri Lankan migrant child, became British. On the equality form, you identify as British Asian, and she identifies as British African. Working with @Nigel_Farage does not change the fact that you are British-Sri Lankan. You can be her father, but she has built a political career that is better than your delusional behavior. Get a life, loser. Even the Reform Party does not trust you to put your name forward as a councillor candidate.

Muhammad Zia Yusuf and Suella Braverman want to scrap the Equalities Act. It’s the same law that has protected them and their parents from discrimination. This is the very definition of ‘rolling up the ladder’.

Farage, Nice, Braverman, Tommy 10 names Robinson are remarkably quiet on The A66 tragedy, 2 serving Policman lost their lives needlessly. Had it been Muslims, Sikhs, Brown or Black skinned lads behind the wheel, the above named would be on the streets enticing violent protest! – at Ilford, London

This is John Ashby, the racist monster who raped a Sikh woman because he believed her to be Muslim. This image should be on the front page of every newspaper and online platform. His actions will have been fuelled by the hateful rhetoric pumped out online and normalised by hard right politicians. Damn you and your sick views. My heart is broken for the survivor of this attack. She will suffer the psychological scars of this misogynistic violence for the rest of her life. I hope he is imprisoned for the rest of his days.

An excellent piece by a respected local Imam Yunus Dudhwala on the lessons repeating mistakes from history. Nick Timothy, Kemi Badenoch as well as Farage would do well to understand! Othering & Alienating communities never leads to good outcomes facebook.com/share/p/18Tb9tZ… – at Ilford, London

Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem, 3rd Most Sacred sight for Muslims has once more been closed off on the most sacred nights of Ramadan by The IDF directed by Netanyahu's govt against International Law, deliberate oppression & suppresion of locals & International tourists Human rights – at Ilford, London
A Palestinian man standing near Al-Aqsa Mosque described the unusually quiet scene on the final Friday of Ramadan. The area, normally filled with hundreds of thousands of worshippers during the last Fridays of the holy month, stood deserted.

‘They are hell-bent on destroying the Labour Party.’ After having his warnings ignored by ‘very senior people’ in the party, the Chair of the Labour Muslim Network @AliMilaniUK feels like he’s in a ‘gaslighting groundhog day’.

For the record, I speak to voters in Turkish when and if I can. My family have been here since the 1950s/60s, we are clear on our Britishness, but also our cultural and religious heritage. It’s called engaging with people on their terms.

The accusation of sectarianism being levelled at Muslim communities in Gorton and Denton is plainly racist and Islamophobic. Our full statement ⬇️

“There is a distinction between interference in the democratic process and muslims having a proclivity to vote in a particular direction”. Is the issue of sectarianism being used by Reform to deflect from their loss in the by election? @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall

"Family voting" - of which police and polling station staff saw no evidence during the vote - is totally made up horseshit intended to cast suspicion on ethnic minorities for having the temerity to exercise their democratic right. That's it.

watched all of @SkyNews coverage of the by election Disturbing the number of times Nadhim Zahawi was allowed to use "Islamist" without any push back from the presenters. Not thrilled by the result, but why are Muslims not allowed to vote as they wish without sinister assertions? – at Ilford, London

I usually go to the polling station with my partner. My adult children came too when they lived at home. Was that "family voting" or absolutely fine because we're White skinned and not Muslims?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"Family voting" means multiple people entering the polling booth together, breaching the secret ballot and potentially coercing votes. Going to a polling station with family is legal. Observers reported booth-group voting in Gorton and Denton, not lawful group arrival. bbc.com/news/articles/…

When Labour loses the support of white voters in working class heartlands: 'We must listen, engage and rebuild trust.' When Labour loses the support of Muslim voters in working class heartlands: 'Dangerous sectarian voting!’

You built your entire campaign on scapegoating Muslims and stoking fear, and now you’re pretending you’re “saving Britain”? Britain doesn’t need saving from its own citizens it needs saving from people who divide it for clicks and votes. Calling an entire community “dangerous” because you can’t win on ideas is cowardice. You talk about “losing the country” while actively tearing at its social fabric. Real patriotism isn’t whipping up paranoia about minorities. It’s building a country where people of different faiths live with mutual respect. If your only path to relevance is fearmongering about Muslims, that says more about the weakness of your platform than it does about us.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are right now attacking and burning down Palestinian homes in the villages of Abu Falah and al-Mughayyir in the West Bank. They opened fire on civilians, injuring several people, one of them is in critical condition.
