A Muslim family's home was smashed in Walsall this week.

Their car too. Their children were inside.

They reported it.

One family. No response.

It is not the first time this town has been the address.

Last October, a Sikh woman was followed home from the bus in Walsall. A man forced his way in. He raped her, repeatedly calling her an effing Muslim bitch.

She told him she was not Muslim. It did not matter. The hostility doesn't check. It sees a face and decides.

John Ashby. Jailed for life.

This week, in Parliament, @ShockatAdam stood up and named it.

He told the House his children are kicking every ball of England's World Cup campaign — and that as a Muslim parent, he is afraid for their safety in this country.

He listed why.

The Sikh woman in Walsall, raped as an "effing Muslim bitch." No condemnation from a Minister at the despatch box.

The Unite the Kingdom march openly calling for Muslims to be expelled. No ministerial statement.

Five Muslim men stabbed on the streets of Edinburgh. No statement. No COBRA. No solidarity.

Then he asked: "What does this silence say to my children?"

The Prime Minister said he wants his children to feel safe, and that an attack on one is an attack on all.

He did not name Walsall. He did not name Edinburgh. He did not name the march.

He did not say the word.

Now look at what this country does when it decides a threat is real.

29 April 2026. Two Jewish men stabbed in Golders Green.

COBRA convened the same day.
The Prime Minister visited the scene.
Threat level raised to severe.
A 100-officer task force deployed.

This was the right response. It was correct. The threat was real. Antisemitism is real. The state moved.

In Walsall, a family's home and car were destroyed with their children inside.

No COBRA. No statement. No task force. No one will even name it.

We are not asking for less protection for anyone.

We are asking for the same.

So when the children in that house ask if they are safe, there is an answer.

Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.

You probably didn’t hear about it.

Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.

Both from Bradford.

They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.

Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:

"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."

Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:

"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."

Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.

Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.

They deserved every word.

But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.

We have seen this before.

Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.

Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.

LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.

He ran towards the blade.

A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.

This is the pattern.

When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.

When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.

Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.

Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.

One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."

He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.

They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.

They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.

The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.

"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32

Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.

Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.

And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.

When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.

When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.

Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.

Muslim men.

Say both.

"I've just gutted a Paki."

— Paul Mullery, 17, after stabbing Akhtar Ali Baig in the heart on East Ham High Street.

It was a £5 bet.
Who could kill one of us first.
That was 1980.

These are the names of those who came after.
Muslims killed, beaten, acid-attacked, firebombed, abused — on British streets.
For being Muslim.

Most are never named.
Most are never reported.

Remember them.

A pregnant Muslim woman was kicked in the stomach in a Co-op car park in Milton Keynes.

He called her the “f***ing problem with this place,” attacked her “clown clothes”.

Hit her with a wine bottle and bag of ice.

Kicked her in the stomach twice after she told him she was pregnant

She lost her unborn twins.

The judge called her attacker a “shabby racist.”

A ‘SHABBY’ racist.

Not a TERRORIST.

Not a MONSTER.

He served under 2 years. He’s been walking free since 2020. Samsam Haji-Ali’s twins are still dead.

If he’d been Muslim, this would have led every news bulletin as a terror attack.

Thirty worshippers were inside the Zainabia Islamic Centre when a petrol bomb was thrown onto the roof. They put out the fire themselves.

These attacks didn’t all happen this week.

They happened years apart. That’s the point. People forgot. Our system doesn’t.

The Women and Equalities Committee’s first-ever inquiry into gendered Islamophobia, published January 2026 (HC 571), documented over 6,000 verified incidents in 2024 — a 165% rise since 2022.
73% of assaults came after the summer riots.
65% targeted women and girls.

The Muslim Women’s Network UK surveyed women before and after the riots. Before — 16% feared for their safety. After — 75%.

Home Office figures show anti-Muslim hate crimes rose 19% last year. Muslims are the target of 44% of all religious hate crimes. Only 6% result in charges.

The government’s Hate Crime Action Plan expired in 2020. No replacement has been published in six years.

They let 3 women dressed in burqas strip off to the chants of “take it off”

They let hate marches happen across the UK.

Anti Islam murals across Northern Ireland.

They proscribed Palestine Action as terrorists.

And they still refuse to use the word Islamophobia.

The system is broken.

Every attack in this post is being mapped.

Mosques, streets, workplaces. No stone unturned.

[I Dissent @DissentFu]

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.

And there is now a trillionaire.

[lincs 1966 @lincslincs]

The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years.

Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped.

Why?

State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers.

The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage.

If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes.

Leave pensioners alone.

They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.

🚨 Starmer is about to ban under 16s from social media. And the establishment is already pushing to extend it to under 18s.
They want you to believe this is about protecting children. It is not. To enforce an age limit on social media every single user in Britain will be forced to upload their passport to a government approved database just to prove they are allowed to speak online.
They are not building a child safety net. They are building a national ID database through the back door and using your children as the excuse to do it.
First they arrested people for tweets. Then they monitored legal posts. Now they want your passport before you are allowed to have an opinion. RT if you see exactly what they are building. 🇬🇧

🚨Update on infant Mohammed Al-Khatib:

Mohammed has now undergone his third surgery in less than a week after being injured by Israeli shelling in Gaza, which killed his mother, amputated his foot, and left his hand at risk.

After hours of unbearable pain and crying, he finally fell asleep following the operation.

Doctors are racing against time. Mohammed urgently needs medical evacuation and treatment abroad before he risks losing his hand as well.

Mohammed Saleem was an 82 year old British pensioner of Pakistani origin. He was stabbed to death by a Ukrainian student, Pavlo Lapshyn, who’d come to the UK 5 days earlier. Police said he wanted to ‘increase racial conflict’. Did anyone politician call for riots or cold rage?

ارتقت والدته على الفور، فيما بُترت ساقه اليسرى، وأصبحت يده اليسرى مهددة بالبتر.

محمد بحاجة إلى إجلاء طبي عاجل وإجراء عمليات جراحية خارج القطاع لإنقاذ ما تبقى من طفولته وحياته.

دفنت ساقه مع جثمان والدته… وما زال ينتظر فرصة للنجاة. للتواصل مع عائلة الرضيع محمد الخطيب

A very painful image was documented by a young man while walking through the streets of Gaza late at night.

Young children are sleeping on the ground in the open air, without family, without a home, and without any bedding to ease the harshness of the place and its harsh conditions.

Will these children also be ignored?!

عمره من هذه الدنيا 40 يوم
فقد والدته وهو في حضنها بقصف اسرائيلي غادر فقتلها وبتر قدمه

يكتب عمه:

ابن أخي الرضيع الذي فقد قدمه وفقد أمه…
كلما بكى، نقف عاجزين أمام سؤالٍ يمزق القلب:
هل يبكي من وجع الجرح؟
أم من ألم فقدان قدمه؟
أم من الجوع؟
أم لأنه يفتقد دفء حضن أمه التي ارتقت وهو بين يديها؟

من يخبر هذا الطفل حين يكبر لماذا استيقظ على الدنيا بلا أم؟
ومن يواسي قلبًا صغيرًا حُرم من أول نظرة وأول ضمة وأول ابتسامة؟

اللهم اربط على قلبه، واشفه شفاءً لا يغادر سقمًا، وارحم أمه رحمةً واسعة، واجمعهما في خير ما تحب وترضى.

This is a point which gets lost too easily. Leasehold means you 'buy' property that remains someone else's.
It isn't yours.
You don't own it, but you're still liable for repairs and maintenance and 'service charges'.
On someone else's property.
Racket from top to bottom.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

What is happening to us has gone beyond what human beings can comprehend.

I have become unable to write, because I no longer know what can even be said after all of this, or what language the world understands to describe what is happening here. What words could possibly describe a child being killed, burned, or losing their limbs in front of the entire world while everyone watches in silence?

How did images of burned bodies, screaming mothers, and dead children become normal scenes? How do people watch this every day and continue their lives as if nothing happened? The most terrifying part is that the world has started getting used to us, used to the blood, the fear, and the daily massacres.

Two days ago, I saw a 12 year old girl burned completely. She was wearing the Eid clothes she had been so happy about only hours earlier. The image of her father carrying her while completely broken will never leave my mind. Since that moment, I keep asking myself: what more has to happen for the world to finally feel our pain?

Speak about us. Speak about the children being killed before they even get the chance to live. Do not allow what is happening here to become just another passing headline or another number, because the world getting used to this tragedy is one of the most painful things of all.

it is so heartbreaking how the deaths of palestinians are painted as an inevitability because israel targets journalists. we also hear less & less about it. because israel targets journalists.
