@SarahTheHaider Seeing them grow out of clothing sizes is a wave of sadness and happiness. They grow so fast 🥹

Congrats Sarah

Warning: side effects of apostasy include apostophobia. And it must be read out loud. Happy Apostasy Day! 🥳

And while @AnnikaHirvonen is filing reports for those who have left hateful comments, I hope it's done consistently across those who have also threatened Swedish safety, the ones who also celebrated the murder of Salwan and cheered on for others to face the same consequences.

[Zara Kay @zarakayk]

It didn't matter if you were Muslim or not, if you spoke arabic or not, if you were integrating or not. The hate crime or criminal knew no bounds except that you didn't look like him and you were an immigrant.

So as people continue cheering on the right wing fascists and continue to blame immigrants, especially other people of colour - there's no saving yourself either, they won't come knocking asking if you practiced a certain faith or integrated a certain way, before deporting you.

[Zara Kay @zarakayk]

@Bushra1Shaikh @Inevitablewest The government did decide. And they said it was part of free speech and did not ban it.

When the regressive left (aka white privilege) meets the Islamists we ExMuslims have been warning the world about.

⚠️ Before you sympathise with Salwan, take a look here to know who he really is 👇🏽

🔹 Momika, the Assyrian Christian opportunist, has worked hard to become a militia leader affiliated with Khamenei's IRGC 🇮🇷 regime in Iran to fulfill his personal ambitions.

[Khadija Khan @KhadijaKhan__]

Celebrating "World Hijab Day" is like spitting on women's long-standing struggle against religious misogyny. To express solidarity w Afghan& Iranian women, as well as with those who suffer in silence, I urge everyone to show their hair&feel the wind in their hair.🙏❤️

I am a Muslim, and I disagreed with Salwan Momika's burning of the Quran in public, but I completely reject and condemn the act of killing a human because of his thoughts or beliefs, or even because he burned the Quran!

Freedom of thought and freedom of belief should be guaranteed for all.

Those who committed this crime must be arrested and appropriately punished. If they are Muslims (which is highly likely), then they are a disgrace to Islam and a source of shame to all Muslims.

As a young human rights activist, in 2006, I advocated for the freedom of a fellow blogger and activist, who was also an atheist. He got arrested and tortured by the Egyptian regime only because of the anti-Islam opinions written on his blog. I supported his freedom to speak, even if this included opposing or criticizing my own religion.

I have friends whom I call family. The majority of them are not Muslims, and some of them are atheists. Some of them are very critical of my religion, but we are great friends because we base our interactions and communications on the fact that we all belong to the same human family, and every one of us is free to believe or follow whatever school of thought he/she wants.

Out of sympathy, I can understand why Salwan hated Islam. He could not tolerate the violence practiced worldwide under the flag of Islam and justified by old barren texts that some label as holly. For him, and for many others, this cannot be called a religion of peace.

Some of those who felt offended by Salwan's act of burning the Quran have filed legal claims against him already. Some others just decided they were above the law, and they had to kill him in praise of Allah! They just proved his point right: "Islam is not a religion of peace."

Yet, the most shocking part for me in the #SalwanMomika incident is that he was killed in a Western country where liberalism and freedom should be the norm... perhaps before these great values were hijacked and abused by the Islamists, the enemies of freedom and the enemies of humanity.

And that's why Sweden didn't cave in to Islamists, and did not ban burning of the Qur'an. It may offend you. But offense isn't a human right.

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

Some of you may disagree but the public desecration of any holy book should be viewed as a hate crime and the offender should face consequences.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

Contrary view: Religious offence is never a justification for violence & countries that criminalise blasphemy tend to see more religious violence than others because they legitimise the premise of it

Human lives are worth infinitely more than ‘sacred’ texts

End blasphemy laws

World Hijab Day on Feb. 1?
I think you mean NO HIJAB DAY!

We honor the women who remove, refuse, and resist wearing this tool of Islamic patriarchy and sex apartheid.

We call on women of all beliefs and backgrounds to take off your hijab, and put it on a man! 😉

@NickKano90 Zakir Naik! 💀

@RyanJohnson_007 @__Injaneb96 @elonmusk Ryan, sit down. You didn't even pass 3rd grade English, what do you even know about flags and eggplants.

Imagine wanting to make a point, but all you're doing is typing random words and showing the rest how empty it is up there.

[Zara Kay @zarakayk]

@jubeljane @Ana3rabeya In summary, it was about him wanting to feel like he had authority over what I post after being called out on his false information of a court case. And I refused to delete the tweet, so ofc he thought it was ok to send threats.

[Zara Kay @zarakayk]

@jubeljane @Ana3rabeya Yep. I was surprised too. I mean I get lots of threats, just didn't think it would surmount to something bigger than online threats

[Zara Kay @zarakayk]

@CoolTJ9 @pass3l @gynaeceum Multiculturalism also doesn't work when you have racist people in the country who hate people that don't look like them. It's a 2 way street. You cannot expect people to integrate when you've set little to no pathways for them, and further isolate them like @gynaeceum does.

[Zara Kay @zarakayk]

@gynaeceum @Vildemo_Sweden If you protect women, is it just white women that you're talking about?
Because when you talk about migration, I hope you realise most migrants don't go around raping women, and the men (migrants or not) that rape women, are awful to all women.
