As a parent, you are forced to address your own baggage and internal biases in order to parent from a secure and healthy place.
And while the parenting industrial complex encourages us to do this with regards to our own emotional makeup, we very rarely take the time
we very rarely take the time to interrogate how a media landscape that constantly positions the Muslim and Islam as ‘Other’, has impacted our sense of belief and practice.
Nowhere is parental self-reflection and analysis more important than the impressions we have of Islam – our very sense of purpose and direction.
What are we passing onto our children, knowingly and unknowingly, about a value system we ascribe to?
you look at 19:42
it in practical terms I mean we're well
in in your country one of the reasons
why people constrain the size of their families is cos property prices are very high so to have 3 children if you want to live in Greater London
if you want to live in Greater London
& got multi-millionaire yeah & well
& that's why rock stars like Mick
Jagger...
they can afford individual bedroom yet
all the children they sire but if you're
not in that situation it's expensive &
impractical
it's expensive &
impractical & as you say govn's
that the balk at finding,
creating the conditions that would able
people have space for a family
nevertheless a comfort thing that
somehow cultural transformation is
easier to manage it's also that one that

@whywouldyou_uk found an amazing talk with him & another guy I don't know (will share for the comedy value)
It's beautiful to hear the upper classes talk, sneer & discuss their anxieties,
some legitimate with deeply held racism.
They discuss how apocalyptic voices like Powell prophecies 1/
@whywouldyou_uk Enoch Powell & other anti-immigrants voices prophecies underestimated how many immigrants would take over, I.e London
You have to hear it
Thousands in comments welcome their racism
They talk of birth rates & why women (indigenous ) have less babies 2/
@whywouldyou_uk Murray asking why indigenous having less babies, as a gay man
(How many babies are killed via abortion, a 'human right')
They blame house prices, govns taking immigrants in & not putting money in cheaper housing & encouraging indigenous couples to have more kids 3/
“The representation of Muslims on screen feeds the policies that get enacted, the people that get killed, the countries that get invaded. The data doesn’t lie. This study shows us the scale of the problem in popular film & its cost is measured in lost potential and lost lives.”
pointed out the shortcomings of Marvel blockbuster Black Panther (“one of the most woke progressive mainstream moments in our culture in recent years”) in which Muslims appear in the opening scenes as terrorists carrying out a kidnap.
“The progress that’s being made by a few of us doesn’t paint an overall picture of progress if most of the portrayals of Muslims on screen are either nonexistent or entrenched in those stereotypical, toxic, two-dimensional portrayals.”
Get this: now defunct Worlds 1st Counter Terrorism 'Think '-Tank 's Chairman & Co-founder says the BDS boycott of the Apartheid Regime, Occupier, Ethnic cleansing, incremental genocide & theocratic State of Israel who shoots kids in the back
is deeply racists & anti-semitic
He is rightly against the Uighurs genocide & concentration camps but nothing about the largest open air prison #Gaza
There a pattern here amongst the Media Megaphones that direct our focus on the threat of Islamists & who claim to be fighting terrorism whilst they are mute on our govns complicity in terrorism abroad
Terrorism is in the eye of the beholder it appears
