Today I’m left so inspired by two inspiring Muslim women @FatimaDiriye and @Hanan_a_k_s , who I’m lucky enough to call friends, who are speaking out and shaping our understanding of being British Muslims and challenging Islamophobia
Both are addressing a report out today by MPs talking how prevalent Islamophobia has become in the UK
You can watch the ever eloquent and wonderful @FatimaDiriye speaking to @ragehomaar here
And the equally eloquent and wonderful @Hanan_a_k_s speaking to @VictoriaLIVE about it here
If it wasn’t for the voices of amazing Muslim women like these two, much of how we understand Islamophobia - particularly gendered Islamophobia - would be missing from conversations.

Great to see them given mainstream platforms to speak about their everyday lived experiences
Give them @FatimaDiriye and @Hanan_a_k_s both a follow - you won’t regret it ❤️

Dahoud is a Palestinian doctor who tried to care for his son after he was shot in the neck by Israeli soldiers, only to watch him die instead.

Of all the videos I’ve produced this year, this one has stayed with me the most.
I’m really proud to have worked with MEE’s video team this year, we’ve produced some particularly important and exceptional stories - allow me to share some
These Yemeni children are forced to eat leaves in an attempt to fight off starvation.

An extraordinarily powerful and important piece by @aayaalshamahi

Saudi authorities have been unbelievably inconsistent on their story on Jamal Khashoggi.

Here’s a thread of how their statements the start until now:
2nd October -

Khashoggi goes to the consulate while his fiancé waits outside. After waiting 3hours fiancé asks consulate staff about his whereabouts who tells her Khashoggi already left the building through the backdoor
5th October -

Mohammed bin Salman asked about Khashoggi in Bloomberg interview to which he replies that Khashoggi left after “a few minutes of one hour”

Muslim women's bodies - from head to toe - are the site of battle between right wing racist shits & clueless left wing cultural relativist shits. And where are we?
From hijabs to FGM - the headscarves & hymens of my book title - everything has become about right vs left wing & not about us Muslim women.
For decades and more now: right wing shits who don't give a flying fuck about us Muslim women use hijabs/FGM as racism/Islamophobia entry point.

A few years ago when I was still #Muslim, my cousin asked me to be his best man on his wedding. The role of the best man in Islam is to advise the groom about marriage life and about the etiquettes of being intimate, including the need to perform ghusl, washing of oneself >
> after sexual intercourse. Both partners must wash themselves, including their hair. There were a few other pieces of advice as well that I was aware of, like having to ask his wife for permission before having sex, which was the advice I was given from my best man, but just >
> to be sure I wasn't missing anything important and confirm what I was about to advise him was Islamically sound, I called a local imam to get proper advice. I told the imam about the reason I was calling and he commended me for going to the effort to find out the actual >

So, as you probably expected I have some thoughts on these responses, I’ll try to get them out in an organized way, but a few caveats before I do:
I’ll be using “men” and “women” throughout this convo, not to mean specific individuals or “all men” or “all women”, and not to exclude trans and non-binary folks, but to mean the social construct of “men” and the social construct of “women”.
Typing out social construct each time is gonna take up some characters so I just wanted to make that distinction for more space.

This means that as a person you may not experience what I’m about to say and that’s cool! I’m working with the general idea of gendered norms.

Thread. Most of the homeless people that I speak are homeless as a result of #UniversalCredit Credit and failed esa and pip assessments. This will continue untill universal credit is stopped and scrapped.
This won't change until the public vote out the @Conservatives in the next general election. If they win the next general election they will rush through all delayed universal credit plans
They don't care if they make a couple of million self employed people unemployed. Neither do they care if disabled people are forced into homelessness. They also don't care if children are separated from their families.

#Burkas are like wearing a crusifix&should b defended,said Scots leader liberal+lesbian,irresponsibly ignoring that a crusifix is a symbol of #Christianity,which holds t western civilisation,while #nijab is a symbol of oppression enforced recently in #Islam by the #Saudi #Wahhabi
#Liberals accusing #Iranian govt of"oppressing women" who must wear a lose scarf,but do not protest against the #Saudi #Wahhabi reactionary dogma,while it's creeping as political #Islam to combat western #civilisation at the end.If it's sounds like fiction,think Saudi investments
Serious problem wth "western civilisation"mental health.Giving up easily to full veil wearing wthout asking what the cover symbolises,wthout questioning why it came from archaic #Saudi #Wahhabi #Sharia #Regime by force,is👉rejection of progressive western values.Period
