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.

That man on the left is Shakeel Ahmad Bhat. The Indian police raided his home and brutally assaulted his sister, they threw her out of the second story window, breaking her spine, which resulted in years of unimaginable suffering before she passed away.

They always use his photos, but they never tell his story, because they want to portray Muslims as some savages who are always angry for no reason, and who wants to kill and destroy everything.

The reality is the opposite. Muslims are the only ones brave enough to stand up, they are the only ones fighting for the truth and justice.

Le buteur historique de l'Irak 🇮🇶, Aymen Hussein, a été retenu par les autorités américaines pendant sept heures pour un interrogatoire à son arrivée à l'aéroport de Chicago.

Aucune explication n'a évidemment été donnée par les Etats-Unis - des médias évoquent simplement une confusion de nom.

Pour rappel, le destin de l'attaquant avait été particulièrement bouleversé par l'invasion américaine de 2003 puisque son père (soldat) fut assassiné par Al-Qaïda quelques années plus tard et sa famille fit partie des "déplacés internes" comme des millions d'Irakiens (leur moyen de survie était le salaire de footballeur gagné par Aymen, alors un jeune adulte, à Bagdad)

Son grand frère (Atheer) fut également kidnappé par l'Etat islamique (qui contrôlait le village natal où la famille vivait, dans le nord du pays) et n'a jamais été retrouvé ; il est présumé mort

C'est Aymen, l'un des capitaines de l'équipe nationale, qui a marqué le but décisif envoyant son pays à la Coupe du Monde 40 ans après

C'est ce même Aymen qui a été reçu par le premier ministre irakien suite à la qualification en compagnie de sa maman.

Et c'est encore et toujours le souriant attaquant qui subit des interrogatoires de sept heures en arrivant sur le sol américain tel un potentiel terroriste mais que pouvait-il y faire ? Aymen Hussein est irakien, et cela semblait suffisant pour le priver de ses droits.
Confusion d'identité ou non, cela importait en réalité bien peu : si ce n'était pas lui, alors ce serait un autre - un Irakien de moins ou de plus, quelle différence cela ferait pour les Etats-Unis ?

Sometimes I,
Fantasise,
Won the league under Mancini,
And again with Pellegrini!

Don't these times,
Fill your eyes,
Now we've got Pep Guardiola,
And the Blues are taking over,
We're never gonna lose,
We're always on the booze…

78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.

Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.

78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

[The Middle East @A_M_R_M1]

🚨 The journalist: “What do you think about Lamine Yamal’s actions yesterday during FC Barcelona’s league title celebrations, and should a player avoid interfering in matters unrelated to football?”

Pep Guardiola: “And should you also avoid interfering in things that are not your specialty? You are here to ask me about tomorrow’s match against Crystal Palace F.C..

Despite that, I will answer your question..... A football player is a role model followed by millions, and his opinion is influential, so he should express his opinion when necessary.

What would you do if you found your wife and children under the rubble of homes like them there? Would you come here to the press conference to talk about a player wearing a shirt and running after a ball?? Of course not!!

You do not choose the topics we want to talk about, so those are things outside your specialty. Lamine’s stance is something he should be proud of — he has now become the talk of the world.”

We're not processing this properly.

72,551 humans. Killed.

Memories, families, relationships, bloodlines...

Gone.

With thousands more in Lebanon too.

[lea @taylenarare]

they bombed a funeral in lebanon at a cemetery and everyone is now dead. a fucking funeral at a cemetery.

[#DISUNOMICS @_NOMICS]

I have just watched an Lebanese man tell Al Jazeera how he was on his way home and he saw a strike and just knew his family was gone

He spoke to seeing his family body parts everywhere including his little girls head

Sorry Israel is such a disgusting nation

[Jenni @hashjenni]

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is.
This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple.
April 8. Never forget.
