@callummcp99@Heccles94 What are your thoughts about white Colonizers in America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, I think we should start by deporting them first.
6 million British Muslims are part of the fabric of this country. We can’t allow those who thrive on division to undermine that unity. The Home Office and Shabana Mahmood must act decisively with moral consistency!
Ban this malign provocateur!
This is an outstanding article from @DanQayyum, which reinforces much of what I learned about Pakistan during my five years living in the country.
"They are only finally being seen as who they are. A people who have absorbed war, terrorism, economic crisis, and decades of narrative assault, and who have responded not with bitterness but with tea, charity, laughter, music, and an insistence on dignity that no amount of external pressure has been able to break."
Pakistan Zindabad.
Pakistan is not, and never has been, neutral. Our official policy does not recognize a state of Israel. Our destiny is to free Palestine, from the river to the sea. Pakistan will help accomplish it someday soon, inshAllah!
I welcome the two-week ceasefire agreed by the United States and Iran last night.
We thank Pakistan for its mediation.
The aim now is to negotiate a lasting end to the war. We are in close coordination with our partners on this matter.
Pakistan is owed a huge debt of gratitude for its mediation efforts. The world was collectively holding its breath as President Trump's deadline loomed, with threats to wipe out an entire civilisation.
Another sign that the centre of mediation has moved from Europe, eastwards.
I welcome the two-week ceasefire the US and Iran agreed last night. It brings much-needed de-escalation.
I thank Pakistan for its mediation.
Now it is crucial that negotiations for an enduring solution to this conflict continue.
We will continue coordinating with our partners to this end.
We need a mass world coalition to stop Israel’s genocidal march throughout the Middle East and the lawless terrorism and apartheid within its own borders. Boycott, Divest, and Sanction is the recipe to stop further violence. It’s Dr Martin Luther King’s strategy of peaceful change. We must deploy it en mass and create a coalition of those who we may not agree with politically on other fronts but find common ground on this rolling justice. It has awoken the moral center in most people.
This is Apartheid.
It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.
To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
The arrest of former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, is a dark day for democracy.
Solidarity with protestors in Pakistan and beyond demanding his immediate release.
As an Afghan, I must speak honestly about a painful truth. I feel ashamed of what my country has done to Pakistan.
When the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent finally gained their homeland in 1947 and created Pakistan after decades of suffering and discrimination, Afghanistan should have welcomed and supported this new nation. Instead, from the very beginning, Kabul chose hostility and interference.
On 16 October 1951, Pakistan’s first elected Prime Minister, Shaheed Liaquat Ali Khan, was assassinated by an Afghan attacker in Rawalpindi.
Think about the tragedy of that moment: millions of oppressed people finally gained the right to determine their own future and elected their first leader, only to see him murdered by someone from a neighboring country that also called itself Muslim.
As an Afghan, a Persian-speaking native of Kabul, I say this with deep shame. Pakistan deserved brotherhood and respect from Afghanistan, not hostility. If we want a better future between our peoples, we must have the courage to face history honestly.
The tragedy did not end there. His assassination was followed by decades of interference, sabotage, bombings, and the sheltering of anti-Pakistan elements by regimes in Kabul. Almost every ruler who came to power in Kabul, whether king or president, became a constant source of tension and instability for Pakistan.
But Pakistan, in return, remained largely positive. It suffered casualties and still sheltered millions of Afghan refugees whenever war broke out in Afghanistan, one conflict after another. Afghan leaders were even allowed to conduct their jihad campaigns from outside Peshawar, raise support in Washington and the Arab Gulf states, and receive assistance to fight for their causes.
Yet even these acts of kindness did not change the attitude of Afghanistan’s Pashtun rulers. Decade after decade, they became increasingly hostile toward Pakistan, responding to goodwill with resentment, hate, and violence.
The military response Pakistan is carrying out today comes after two years of repeatedly urging the Taliban in Kabul to stop harboring and supporting TTP terrorists operating from Afghan territory.
How long will we continue this meaningless animosity toward a country we economically depend on? Isn’t it time for a new Afghan generation to speak the truth and finally end this cycle of hostility?
