The @HJS_Org report is out into the unrest in #Leicester by @CharlotteFLit. It's excellent.

The sophisticated RSS-Bus hoax that was debunked by @ainajkhan was compared with Muslim activists car pooling. No Hindutva or RSS involvement.
Investigations did not find #Hindutva extremist organisations operating in #Leicester.
I agree with most of @CharlotteFLit conclusions.

#Leicester has been in special measures by the security services for years. PREVENT and @leicspolice teams are well aware of Leicester's unique role in European Islamist politics.

@ainajkhan helped debunk the sophisticated RSS-Bus hoax. I'm glad @CharlotteFLit highlighted that.

Aina and @guardian used one of the main social media instigators, Majid Freeman, as her local fixer. That was missed in the report.
There is zero mention of cricket related violence in Leicester in 2017 and the recent unrest.

Pakistan vs India cricket has been a reoccurring flashpoint for community tension.

@leicspolice understood and responded.
@HJS_Org showcased a motley crew of radicals who turned up to cause trouble in Leicester.

Most are well known Islamists. Tommy Robinson a football hooligan and anti-Muslim agitator tried to get involved too.

The only real organised threats were from these social media misfits.

Are you upset #HRes1430 mentions the religious and ethnic genocide of 1971?

I have talked about Hindus facing communal violence in Bangladesh. Why are you so hostile to the Awami League when they have said Hindus need to be protected?

Are you aligned to the BNP?
@sritiochetona who is paying for Bengali Hindu Genocide documentaries?

They are well produced and slick. Yet, they don't have any followers on twitter.

Could it be the BNP, Jamaat, Pakistan, Qatar or Turkey?

Was BBC Panorama's A Question of Leadership spurious reporting?

The Islamic Foundation has been the centre of Jamaat-i-Islami politics for decades. Are Jamaat Islamist?
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme…

Was the BBC investigation into the Islamic Foundation's ties to Jamaat spurious and Islamophobic?

Jamaat and Islamic Foundation figures have been linked to bad things. Is it Islamophobic to talk about 1971?

Dr Chris Allen's Forum Against Islamophobia and Racism (FAIR) was formed with the help of Ahmed Kadhem Al-Rawi of Leicester.

In 2004, @lemondefr got access to the Muslim Brotherhood Egypt's international committee (Tanzim Al-Dawli).

Al-Rawi was listed. ImageImage
…te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/041275…

FAIR was tied to Jamaat and Muslim Brotherhood figures.

@lemondefr talked about the interpolation of Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat activities. The movements shared donors and institutions around the Muslim world. ImageImage
"L'internationale des Frères est constituée d'associations membres et d'autres considérées comme amies, comme la Jamaat-e-Islami au Pakistan ou le Refah en Turquie. Machhour a nommé un responsable pour le représenter à l'étranger : le Syrien Hassan Howeidi, qui réside à Amman." Image

A hail of bullets is not precision shooting.

The shooter(s) hit a tyre and the rear window. It suggests the SUV went through the road block.

Hopefully an investigation will bring more information. There are lots of conspiracy theories. Axes to grind.

#ArshadSharif
#Pakistan


Pakistan is upset about the killing of #ArshadSharif.

@PTIofficial are using it to bludgeon the Pakistan army.

There was a witness to the whole event sitting next to Arshad. Let's wait to see what he says before jumping to conclusions.

I think the @HuffPost article on Audrey Truschke should have opened with an acknowledgement that Truschke organised the 'Dismantling Global Hindutva' conference last year.

People would want to know the reason why she experienced trolling from the BJP. Image
Hinduism is not Hindutva can work both ways. Because all Hindus have Hindutva.

The BJP and RSS doesn't have a monopoly on it.

Which makes Truschke and Co's manual even more dangerous. #Hinduphobia Image
"Hindutva is not addressed and defeated," is especially dangerous. As I've said, BJP and RSS don't own Hindutva it belongs to all Hindus.

Truschke and other left-wing critics of the BJP and communalism need to be very careful. Their manual is dangerous and counterproductive. Image

@ArtiParty a lot of American organisations don't do due diligence.

They see Islam and charity. Eyes light up.

It's great that you want to work with Muslims, but Jamaat have been abusing Zakat around the world to promote hate. They target minorities too.

Please reconsider.
Jamaat are horrors. Ask any Pakistani or South Asian journalist in the USA.
