Context: RSS #Hindtutva follower Nathuram Godse shot #Gandhi because he "loved Muslims." RSS destroyed 15th century Babri mosque, RSS butchered & raped 1000s of Muslims in #Gujarat. RSS fanatics now more emboldened than ever since #Modi came to power in #India. Violence against 1

Muslims has reached epidemic proportions in India following reemergence of RSS, an ultra-Hindu nationalist paramilitary that models itself on Mussolini's fascists. Yes, really. Whilst many Hindus don't subscribe to its views Narendra Modi was voted into office twice via BJP, 2

This "breaking" news was revealed 7 yrs ago. What's "new" is MI5 would've known all this before her #ShamimaBegum's nationality was revoked. In other words, they tacitly knowingly approved. During my time in HMP Belmarsh I met a young British man who told me a shocking story. 1 He'd been recruited & paid large sums by #MI5 to infiltrate #ISIS & report back. But after suspecting he was working both sides they arrested & prosecuted him under terror laws. His case was so sensitive much was heard in secret with unprecedented media reporting restrictions. 2

Thoughts on #ImranKhan: I met him briefly at @AJEnglish studios where we spoke about #Guantanamo. He was disgusted by #Pakistan’s role in handing ppl to US without any legal process like #Afghanistan ambassador to Pakistan @abdulsalamzaeef and me. 1/9 I met him again in 2011 at an event for girls’ library in Afghanistan organised by @yvonneridley. We spoke about #WoT, #Gitmo & #AafiaSiddiqui for whom he’d fought. CIA’s Raymond Davies had killed 3 Pakistanis in #Lahore & we discussed how this was the moment to get her back. 2/9

1. US invaded #Afghanistan after #Taliban refused to hand over Bin Laden after 9/11 attacks.
2. US invaded #Iraq based on tortured “confession” of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi that AQ was working with #Saddam to get WMDs.
3. But, just like AQ, there no WMDs in Iraq - until invasion. 4. Abu Musab al-#Zarqawi left Afghanistan to set up AQI in Iraq to fight US.
5. His tactics were so brutal than even AQ central tried to curb them.
6. Shia and Sunni groups who’d both fought occupiers turned on each other while US back one against the other.

What a coincidence. In a major new report, Israel has been accused by Human Rights Watch for carrying out “crimes against humanity” with the use of a system of “apartheid and persecution” against the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank. 1/6 Simultaneously, in the week that police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd, a devastating report published in the US has described police shootings of people of African decenct as “crimes against humanity.” 2/6

One of the rioters killed by police in Washington identified as Ashli Babbit, a 14-year veteran who served four tours with USAF as a 'high level security official.' That means she took part in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia or Syria or in the rendition of prisoners to Guantanamo 1/4 or other secret prisons. Of course, none of that matters because she was serving her country. In fact, even those who oppose Trump probably praise her service record and would otherwise have seen her as a true patriot because of it. 2/4

Don't welcome news of any death sentence but, under his leadership Pakistan was used by CIA to kidnap people from their homes in the middle of the night, in front of their families. I will never forget the night Pakistani ISI and US CIA agents stormed

cnn.it/2S2Q2AC into my house in the middle of the night and shutting out my life for the next three years. Musharraf boasted in his book - published by the same people who published my book - that he received "millions of dollars in bounty money" for all those he handed over.
