@AyoCaesar looks at #Leicester. There are some good points. Undermined by sloppy research.

She quotes @AmritWilson who waded into the debate pushing the RSS Bus hoax. Hasn't retracted it. @ainajkhan debunked it.

Data proving, "Hinduphobia" available.
Hinduphobia is used by right-wing political figures and activists as a shield. That's true. But much like Islamophobia it does exist. It's a reality.

@ncri_io shows that anti-Hindu slogans were used. Bigotry from the Hindu side too. They have the data.

@AyoCaesar also leaves out the Muslim agitators who were using anti-Hindu language and hoaxes.

Communalism is bad for Hindus and Muslims. A poor attempt by Ash to bring the issue into light.

Communalism is a real. Trying to argue Hinduphobia doesn't exist won't help.
@AyoCaesar completely skips past all the data that's been collected from Leicester.

If she'd bothered to read any of it. She'd know @AmritWilson thesis is built on her own bias against Modi and right-wing politics. Wilson's Hindutva spectre fell flat on its face thanks to Aina.


A poor grasp of the facts on #Leicester won't help @AyoCaesar article.

The only thing I agreed with is, "There is only one known cure for bad identity politics: coalition-building."

But does she mean @5Pillarsuk and @novaramedia?

@ncri_io has a new report out on #Leicester unrest.

It opens with an acknowledgement that cricket related violence happened in 2017, but that the recent escalation was unique.

@guardian @nytimes come under fire lack of due diligence on Majid Freeman.
"As the events in Leicester took shape, NCRI analysis also found coordinated activity coming from self-identified Indian accounts amplifying
blame, ethnic distrust, and accusations against the Muslim community and Islam as a tradition."

Nobody comes out of it smelling of roses.
The Angel Tours-RSS hoax was the also looked at.

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?

@HinduAmerican does this group belong to you?

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.

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.
