The largest Muslim organisations in Harrow have united to demand Conservative Councillor Kamaljit Chana be removed after he said “Muslims are violent” & “I do not like Muslims” #Islamophobia

@hasvo_harrow @HarrowMosque @SLMCCUK @hujjat @sicm_mahfil_ali
harrowtimes.co.uk/news/18739628.…
Their full letter to @HAConservatives is available here

muslimforums.co.uk/middlesex/wp-c… ImageImage
The Muslim organisations make it clear this is not a one-off, citing inaction following Islamophobia by MP Bob Blackman & Cllr. Anjana Patel

This shows a serious concern amongst Muslims about #Islamophobia within the Conservative Party in Harrow, reflecting the national picture
This follows a Sunday Times scoop which highlighted this councillor's claims & which showed at the national level, the @Conservatives didn't do anything even when shown the evidence.

This is what they mean by "zero tolerance"

The Jewish Chronicle is clearly an awful news outlet under Jake Wallis-Simons & it's good to see columnists abandon the sinking ship

But let's not forget how its vile attitude to Muslims has been a consistent feature & was very present under Pollard 👇🏾

But it is fair to say Jake Wallis Simons has a particularly awful history during his editorship of the paper.

His attitude towards Muslims is vile. Image
But his defence of Douglas Murray, his attacks on ordinary protestors, his attacks on journalists, his attacks on even calling for a ceasefire, are just a small snippet of his awful views.

The Home Secretary is treading on dangerous ground here.

A peaceful demonstration is being slurred as "an intimidating mob" and a chant heard at the rally is being mischaracterised.

This is not okay. Thread.
This protest was almost entirely peaceful with minimal arrests.

With a protest of this size, there are always a handful of idiots, but from the reporting it seems there were far less than for example at this pro-Israel rally a couple of years ago.

The idea that those exercising their democratic right to protest it show solidarity to Palestinians, are somehow an "intimidating mob" is just not okay.

After her racist smear was forcibly corrected (ht @cfmmuk), a source close to Braverman admits:

When referring to the 'grooming gangs phenomenon', she only meant high profile cases where Pakistani men were involved & not all group-based child sexual abuse
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Whilst this source calls the ruling "perverse", they are clearly wrong:

Only calling high-profile group-based child sexual abuse done by Pakistani men as "grooming gangs" is an astonishing admission, unjustifiable and incorrect Image
The IPSO ruling makes it clear how it is inaccurate. It is not a "political attack" - merely the correction of a false racist smear.

Outrageous the Home Secretary defends Douglas Murray as "mainstream"

She is *actively* promoting a man who said objectively racist & extreme things such as “Conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board" & who has defended Tommy Robinson

But there's more

Douglas Murray says London has become "foreign" because "in 23 of London's 33 boroughs "white Britons" are now in a minority" i.e. being non-white, means you are foreign and can't be British

Is the government view *really* that this is a mainstream view? @Tories4Equality Image
@Tories4Equality Murray said "less Islam" is a solution to terrorism (whilst talking about Muslims).

Is it *really* a government position that this is a "mainstream" view and not extreme?

Disgusting

Shawcross, Gove & The Times appear to want to publish names of who they consider to be "extreme" Muslims/Muslim groups as part of their attempt to refocus Prevent on Muslims & not the far right

This is after a far-right terror attack against a migrant centre

Thread
ICYMI Shawcross said "..Islam is one of the greatest, most terrifying problems of our future"

He targeted Muslim charities. He defended torture. He seems to even have wanted Foreign Office officials to mock Islam

Much more - see 👇🏽
ICYMI Baroness Warsi said she was genuinely "fearful of the idea of Michael Gove becoming prime minister" due to "his views on British Muslims"

Gove promoted Douglas Murray, pushed the Trojan Horse story & was a fan of people like Maajid Nawaz

Hundreds of thousands of people have seen this far-right Islamophobic conspiracy theory on GB News go unchallenged

It is appalling, unacceptable & downright dangerous

One has to wonder where @KeithPrinceAM & so many others with such views get their news from...scary
Whilst @KeithPrinceAM has now apologised and a few thousand have seen the apology, the GB News tweet with the conspiracy theory remains up with no clarifying tweet from @GBNEWS.

It'd almost as if they want the conspiracy theory to be shared. Image
Does anyone know if they apologised on-air and just didn't clip it up?
