This is a trend, anytime they’re under investigation they jump to targeting Muslims.
It’s like they’re trying to please someone who would appreciate this. I wonder who 🤔
@claire_adams694@richjamesdobbs@Hadar_yid Islamic terrorist? So Who’s bombing Iraq and other Arab countries? Isn’t that Islamist? Can we call them Jewish or American Terrorist for that?
Yes, she was born in Somalia, but she is British, just as you, a Sri Lankan migrant child, became British.
On the equality form, you identify as British Asian, and she identifies as British African.
Working with @Nigel_Farage does not change the fact that you are British-Sri Lankan.
You can be her father, but she has built a political career that is better than your delusional behavior.
Get a life, loser. Even the Reform Party does not trust you to put your name forward as a councillor candidate.
White racists said stuff like this about Yusuf’s parents when they moved to the UK from Sri Lanka in the 1980s but now their son, who isn’t white, but wants the votes of white racists, is saying stuff like this about Somali immigrants.
Truly disgusting.
Iran is not fighting this war only for Iran.
Understand that first. Absorb it. Because until you understand it, nothing else about this conflict makes sense.
Iran is fighting for the right of any nation on earth to exist outside the permission structure of Washington and Tel Aviv.
It is fighting for the principle that sovereignty is not something granted by empire, it is something inherent. And if it must be defended with blood, then blood is what gets spent.
Every country that has been sanctioned into poverty for daring to disagree.
Every government that has been coup'd out of existence for nationalizing its own resources.
Every leader who has been assassinated by a drone because he refused to make himself useful to someone else's agenda.
Every people told that their choices are submission or destruction.
Iran is fighting for all of them.
You don't have to like the Iranian government to understand what's at stake.
You don't have to agree with every policy, every ideology, every internal decision.
That's not the point.
The point is that a country of 90 million people has looked at the most powerful military and financial empire in human history, and said: no.
Said it for forty-seven years.
Said it under sanctions that would have broken most nations.
Said it while being threatened with annihilation on a weekly basis by countries with actual nuclear weapons.
The question this war is really asking is not whether Iran survives.
The question is whether any country is allowed to survive on its own terms.
That question belongs to all of us.
AIPAC spent $30 million trying to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the primary. They lost.
Now, they plan to spend tens of millions more against him in the general election.
This is not democracy. This is oligarchy and a corrupt billionaire-funded campaign finance system.
Fight back.
Telling fans to "keep politics out of football" regarding Manor Solomon when the player himself used his public platform to make political statements first is a bit of a stretch.
The hypocrisy is wild. He literally did the exact thing people are now telling the fans not to do.
Leader of Turkey’s new main secular opposition party, New Party, takes ablution amidst the interest of the surrounding crowd
For those of us who know a thing or two about Turkey realize how huge the symbolism of this is
For years, the main point of attack on Erdoğan was that he was religious. Even back when Turkish economy was at its peak, at least 30 per cent of society rejected him with zeal just because he was someone who prayed and didn’t drink alcohol
I remember that a Turkish journalist once said that if Erdogan had drunk a beer in his life he would have made an excellent prime minister
For many years, it was the Islamist politicians in Turkey who had to pretend that they were secularist. This was followed by a period of secularist reluctance where they were saying they were also religious but didn’t believe in using religion
Now, they are actually using Islam more than the most Islamist group in the region.
But as Erdogan once correctly said ‘biz dini yaşarız, tüccarlığını siz yapıyorsunuz’ which doesn’t have a perfect English translation but it can be paraphrased as: Islamists don’t pretend to be abiding by faith to gain votes. Islam is their bread and butter. But secularists who do religious poses and remember mosques every election cycle are actually the ones using Islam for political purposes.
