I'm a white Muslim.

I've endured;

• My house getting torched, TWICE
• Attacks in the street
• Verbal abuse
• Death threats
• Doxxing
• Getting called a "race traitor, Jihadist" & worse.

Boris Johnson has enabled the above

I am TERRIFIED of a Tory majority government.
2/ I live with daily abuse and threats just because I'm Muslim.

Journalists like @paulhutcheon gaslit me using my mental health condition, #BPD, to "infer" I'm a terrorist.

I got credible death threats due to him, yet the Daily Record DEFENDED it.

Muslims are scapegoated 3
3/ The Tories have a massive #Islamophobia problem.

Because they deflect or deny it, people think they can get away with it too.

From Truro to Inverness, Muslims are facing increased abuse.

All because the Prime Minister and his party have made Islamophobia mainstream.
4/ However, the abuse, the threats and Attacks WILL NOT deter me.

I believe in a society that works for everyone.

Faith, race, sexual orientation, disability and age are irrelevant to me.

Everyone is human at the end of the day, and are therefore ALL equals.

I fight for that.
5/ Attacking someone because of faith or race shows a basic lack of understanding.

However, people can and have changed.

Maybe not everyone, but many can.

I will ALWAYS fight to educate and inform people about equality for all.

Hate WILL NOT win.
6/ All I want is to live my life in peace.

I don't want to be si scared I'll only shop at 1am.

I don't want to worry about every knock on the door.

I don't want to worry about my kids getting bullied.

I just want to be happy and safe.

Right now, I'm scared, stressed and sad.

💥 BLOG – Why as a Muslim I’m Terrified of a Tory Government

Boris Johnson and the Tories have normalised and enabled Islamophobia by denying it's an issue.

This off the cuff post shows the reality Muslims & minorities are facing if Johnson wins.
