The genocide enablers at the William Shawcross owned Jewish Chronicle have attacked Imam @AsimKhan21c for defending the right of Palestinians to resist. Despite 12,000+ deaths, the JC still finds it objectionable to support the Palestinians.

Here’s a 🧵 outlining what happened:

This was all off the back of an event supporting Palestine at Queen Mary University. It follows an alarming trend of suppressing expressions of solidarity with Palestine.

Boxing Champion @amirkingkhan was also attacked for his support of Palestine alongside @AsimKhan21c. Image

February 27 marks the 21st anniversary of the 2002 Gujarat Pogrom in India. In 3 days, Hindutva mobs attacked & murdered up to 2000 Muslims. 200+ women & children were gangraped & burned alive.

🧵This thread highlights the toxic ideology of Hindutva. The Pogrom was a result of deep seated hatred & discrimination against Indian Muslims. It took place on the back of an attack against Hindu pilgrims. Hindutva ideologues claim the attack was carried by Muslims & Pakistani agents. However, there is no credible evidence proving it.

The pro-zionist Jewish Chronicle has long seen a total collapse of its editorial standards. The outlet often operates as a third tier smear tabloid of choice when the Sun, Daily Mail or the Times turn down a story.

Today they ran another story about CAGE:
cage.ngo/response-to-th… For a paper that claims to fiercely fight against the discrimination of Jewish communities, it has an unhealthy habit of amplifying far right tropes about Muslims and platforming some of the most rabidly Islamophobic commentators in the UK.

Today, a racist attack took place in the heart of Paris in front of a cultural kurdish centre. Three Kurdish persons were assassinated by a white man. The alleged perpetrator of this crime - a white Frenchman - also targeted a migrant camp last year with a sabre and injured a number Sudanese migrants.

The French government agency @SG_CIPDR, true to form, continues its disinformation propaganda targeting Muslim groups that expose the state sponsored persecution of Muslims in France. ⤵️ Image As usual, the facts will suffice to demonstrate the unabashed Islamophobia of this body whose only aim is to whitewash the Islamophobia of the French state. Let’s begin.

L'organe gouvernemental @SG_CIPDR, fidèle à lui-même, poursuit sa propagande de désinformation à l'encontre d’organisations musulmanes dénonçant la persécution dont souffrent les musulmans en France.⤵️ Image Comme à l’accoutumée, les faits suffiront à démontrer l'islamophobie décomplexée de cet organisme dont le seul but est de blanchir l'islamophobie de l'Etat français. Commençons.

Not sure what is happening with the news editors at Channel 4 News. They have fallen for the securocrats attempts to build a USA style Prison Industrial Complex. As we have seen with the almost annual enactment of new terrorism laws, exceptionalising anything done by a Muslim is an opportunity for securocrats and loony neoconservative ideologues to tickle fears and prejudices, manufacture consent from the majority, and grab more powers.

Prevent is a surveillance tool designed to treat the whole population as potentially dangerous for the ruling elites. And as with many aspects of domestic policing in the USA/UK, there is an link with Israeli attempts to create a Closed Society #EndPrevent

Today the French Supreme Court ruled against the closure of a local mosque near Bordeaux!

Here is a quick recap of this case. As a result of the state-led Islamophobic persecution currently underway in France, the French administration decided to close down the mosque in March - a few weeks before the start of Ramadan. Why?

The @Policy_Exchange report got this part right.

CAGE has been consistently campaigning against PREVENT before it became mainstream. The early efforts of CAGE and a few grassroots organisations/activists successfully turned the tide on PREVENT.

CAGE publishes its report “Good Muslim Bad Muslim: A response to the revised PREVENT strategy”, warning against the government’s efforts to impose acceptable religious practice and belief to the Muslim community.

Save Al Aqsa:

An urgent message from Sh Haitham on the invasion of Al-Aqsa by settler-colonisers

This is an urgent call to all Muslims around the world, and the UK in particular, to defend al-Aqsa. Right now there is practically a war taking place there with the Muslims, Palestinians and Aqsan people who are defending Aqsa with their own lives, against extremist groups who are unfortunately being supported by the occupation forces, in order to raid al-Aqsa and occupy it

This is taking place now.while we’re talking on the 26th night of Ramadan

Professor Lukman Thalib and his son Ismail Talib, have arrived in Turkey where they will receive urgent medical attention after nearly six months of secret detention in Qatar.

🧵However, a series of pressing questions have emerged around the complicity of Australia ⤵️ ▶️ Australian authorities knew of the arrest of the two men as early as the 28th July 2020, one day after their arrest.

▶️ An Australian embassy official told the family they did not see any visible effects of torture and had no concerns despite Prof Lukman making them aware.

We received one of those Sunday paper comment requests from The @Telegraph's Steve Bird. Some counter-terror 'folk' have gone into meltdown over a book our research director @AsimCP is due to publish 🔽.

Seems censorship is vogue.

Serious questions need to be asked of the editors at The @Telegraph as to why they are participating in suppressing freedom of expression by commissioning a story that effectively seeks to ban a book before its even published!

1.Hindutva politicians incite mobs to destroy a place of worship belonging to a minority community
2. Hindutva politicians win elections on the back of spreading hate towards same minority
3. Senior Judges rubber stamp the original actions of the Hindutva Mobs

#BabriMasjid The worlds largest democracy has today exposed the dangerous faultlines with the whole concept of democracy. Thus, when dangerous demagogues exploit fear & prejudices of the majority voters, the lives and freedoms of minority communities are easily sacrificed

When the War on Terror began, @UK_CAGE took issue with the way 'the rules of the game' changed in order to suspect 1.8 billion Muslims globally. Rendition, secret detention, torture were impacting on the lives of tens of thousands of people globally.

[Thread] Whether it was unlawful detentions or the illegal invasion of Iraq, those on the Left stood alongside Muslims who had become the latest 'suspect community'. The solidarity became an important moment in the face of vilification.
