Some advice by Sheikh Tauqir Ishaq on how Muslims should respond to the blasphemous Lady of Heaven film.

1. This film is an anti-sunni and anti-Islamic film that lies about the history of the time of our beloved Prophet ﷺ and the khilafah. 2. It portrays two of the most senior and beloved companions as evil and effectively as terrorists (رضي الله عنهما) and some of his beloved and pure wives as evil people (رضي الله عنهم). (Na'oothubillah.)

1. Thread: How should Muslims react to what's going on in Ukraine?

Well it's non-Muslims fighting each other so we are not directly involved, but we are indirectly involved in that war could spread and we may be asked to choose between opposing camps in any wider confrontation. 2. I personally don't believe the US or Russia are our natural allies in any shape or form. And both have Muslim blood on their hands. That said, US imperialism far outweighs anything Russia has done. There's no doubt about that.

1. There's been quite a big response to my interview with the two sisters at Kabul University who support the Islamic Emirate. So let me clarify a few things. 2. Firstly, one of the sisters was nervous for sure but not bc she was scared of the Taliban, but bc this was her first i/v and a foreign journalist had just stuck a camera in her face. This can be intimidating. I spoke to her off camera too & am satisfied she is a true believer

1. Some things we learned from the barbaric Israeli attack on Palestinians: 1. Israel has unveiled its true ugly face to the world yet again. The nature of Israeli Apartheid and murdering is clear for all to see. 2. The vast majority of the world stands firmly and rightly with the Palestinians. But western leaders and the disgusting mainstream media stand with Israel.

1. Looks like Maajid Nawaz's Quilliam Foundation has got its mates at the right wing Mail on Sunday to do a hit job on 5Pillars following our recent small grant from an institution which was set up to support independent journalism. 2. This was the first ever such grant given to an independent Muslim media outlet. We received it because we qualified for it as we adhere to the highest standards of journalism, including journalism which has regularly exposed the agenda & activities of the likes of Quilliam.

1. Britain is driving Muslims out of public life by making it a condition for them to publicly renounce their normative Islamic values. 2. So if you're a Muslim politician you have to be pro LGBT and pro Israel otherwise you'll get targeted by top politicians and the media.

1. I support parents on the Birmingham homosexuality school issue because they have right to determine what lifestyles are best for small kids; the school is trying to change beliefs of Muslim pupils; No Outsiders program is part of wider deradicalisation agenda targeting Muslims 2. Parkfield School is 98% Muslim. Islam forbids homosexuality and considers it a major sin. Therefore, any attempt to get Muslim kids to affirm homosexuality in a positive way will be met by resistance.

1. I’ve only skim read Tony Blair’s report on “Islamist” groups in the U.K. but my initial reaction is that as a war criminal who has done more than virtually anyone to pit Muslim against non Muslim he should keep his mouth shut on issues of community cohesion. 2. The “Islamist” groups mentioned in the report are not trying to divide Muslims and non Muslims. In fact they all regularly work with non Muslims. Moreover, non Muslims in this country also generally can’t stand Tony Blair.

1. The British interfaith industry between Muslims and Jews is being pushed by hard-core Zionists and the government together with a handful of Zionist and government-friendly Muslims. 2. It is modelled on Israeli peace building industry which blossomed after Oslo Accords. The reasoning being that regular personal interaction in non controversial activities (eg charity work) between those who have different political opinions will lead to acceptance of other.
