Come on @SkyNews, the story is not that Trump attacks Khan - it's that he quote-tweets the vile Katie Hopkins & her virulent Islamophobia.

This should not be difficult.

In case it changes, the headline looks like this
ITV have done the same!
itv.com/news/2019-06-1…
Wow - even the @DailyMirror
mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/t…
Wouldn't expect anything different from The Sun & Mail Online - but still...
Slightly better in Independent in that reference to Hopkins was made in the sub-headline - still awful.
For the record - the full Mail Online headline and sub-headlines - not ONE mention of Katie Hopkins. I know it's the Mail Online but this is truly outrageous.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
As of now, I cannot see a BBC, Guardian, Times or Telegraph piece on this topic - hence their exclusion from the above thread.
Awful from the @guardian. Really expected better. Maybe it was the framing of the agencies but still...truly disappointing.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…
This is how it looks on the Guardian's front page. Seriously - what's going on?
The BBC follows suit - appalling

bbc.com/news/amp/uk-en…
And LBC
Telegraph piece doesn't mention Hopkins at all!

The Guardian's piece (not from agencies) was eventually well framed and the best

"Donald Trump criticised for quoting Katie Hopkins in attack on Sadiq Khan" theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…

There have been many bad faith attacks on the APPG definition of Islamophobia. This thread aims to explain the definition & why it has gained the support of mainstream Muslim communities & dozens of the top academics in the fields of racism & Islamophobia islamophobia-definition.com
Let's start with the link to racism: “Islamophobia is a type of racism”: Islam is obviously a faith & Muslims come from a range of ethnic backgrounds. However, the way Islamophobia is manifested is like any form of racism as it is well established Muslims have become racialised
What this means is that a white Muslim with a name like Muhammad, or a black Muslim woman wearing a headscarf or an Asian Muslim reading the Quran on a train, all may be treated by a racist "as a Muslim” because the racist has a perception of what a Muslim is or believes

Truly unbelievable Ben Shapiro is on BBC's Politics Live. He believes most Muslims are radical, is a vile racist about Arabs & his Twitter was visited by the far-right Quebec terrorist 93 times in the month before the shooting

Vile Islamophobia clearly not a barrier for being on
Source for point 1 - he believes most Muslims are radical
politifact.com/punditfact/sta…
Source for point 2 - he is a vile racist about Arabs

The passing of the buck by the editor of the Spectator (which has published so much #Islamophobia) is unacceptable.

He hires the set of columnists (knowing their perspectives), agrees to publish what they write and ignores the criticism afterwards.

He is complicit.
ICYMI: Let's not forget the infamous "there is not nearly enough Islamophobia within the Tory Party" headlining a piece from .... Rod Liddle
Obviously I could write this whole thread just about Rod Liddle in the Spectator but just one more from him in the Spectator

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
