Few years ago When Actor Daniel Kaluuya talked about the internal conflict of supporting The England🏴 Team, how you cant afford to get carried away & enjoy the support, this was what he was referring to.
Even in victory and celebration this is what you get. 😕😕
Two British Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds on Friday.
Mohsin Qayyum, 22, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal, 20, were driving past when they saw the blaze.
Without a thought for themselves they ran straight in and rescued the people.
There were many Muslims in the Lancashire town I grew up in during the 1960s & 70s, largely textile workers that our mills needed. Even more in the Leed's suburb I lived in as a student. Since retiring, I've travelled widely around the UK, I do freelance writing, visiting Muslim areas in Bradford, Keighley, Luton, Rochdale & many others. In over 60 years I have never felt fear or intimidation from Muslims, far from it; often warmth, welcome & good humour. Of course, there are some despicable people who have done terrible things who identify as Muslims, just as there are in every type of community. To be honest, I've felt the greatest sense of fear & insecurity amongst young, often drunk, white men, especially on public transport & at night in some town centres. I don't see Muslim youngsters engaging in the kinds of anti-social behaviour that 'some' white kids do. That's my experience, in my view Islamophobia is utterly disgusting & needs calling out. Judge individuals, never entire groups, that is a road to very dark places that I'll never walk. I'm sorry if this angers or offends anyone, but this is a forum for sharing opinions & experiences; these are mine formed over 6 decades. I am saddened & concerned by how much traction some Islamophobes get on here, from Lowe to Yaxley-Lenon, they don't yet speak for most of us & we must never let their hate poison & divide us.
It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out.
An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken.
But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?
Nothing annoys the racist ethno nationalists more than this.
The England team is for all the races in England, black, brown and white, this is our flag now. 🏴
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.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Yes, Guardiola created the most beautiful football in history with Barcelona, and tens of millions of coach devotees.
The most influential coach in history given the dissemination of his ideas, without doubt.
But increasingly, used his position to speak out for persecuted people, when too many others in football say nothing, pretend not to see.
Particularly, today’s greatest players.
Guardiola was, and is in a unique position to influence the atrocities perpetrated and funded by the UAE, his employer, where his greatest leverage lay, nonetheless he spoke out on human rights, for an end to conflict, when others would not.
That’s far, far too rare in sport today.
To all the idiots in our fanbase who gave Mo Salah hate and grief specially in January of this year, you guys are a disgrace. He is a legend. What he has done for us very few players have in history. Glad most fans shown him universal love.
Salah getting dogs abuse from Rooney.
Same Rooney that shagged grannies, serially cheated on his wife, solicited prostitutes, got a drink driving conviction & tried to leave Utd on two occasions at being played out of position and dropped.
Some moral compass on that lad
