Four years ago, when the FIFA world cup took place in a Muslim land, media outlets constantly brought attention to various social and political issues that they felt portrayed that land (and hence the religion) in a negative light. The criticism was not subtle; it was blatant and mainstream. Issues such as human rights, sexuality, and treatment of migrants were incessantly mentioned, to the extent that even football teams made political statements and attempted to mock that land.
Now that the matches are taking place in the States, it appears the media has absolutely nothing to report! The inhumane treatment of 'illegal' visa overstayers, the attempt to ban political criticism of Isr@ael, the scandals of Epstein that far outweigh any other sexual scandals, and the support of the genocide against the people of Gaza, seem to warrant absolutely no attention to the same people who seemed so concerned about the rights of some people to express their alternative sexualities!
These double standards need to be highlighted so that we can push back at the manipulation of the media.

This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.
But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.
A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.
They were practicing their shooting on children.
This is Mohamed Nader, one of the victims of the San Diego mosque terrorist attack…
His wife, Mrs. Khairaat, has served as a kindergarten teacher for decades. Their family has long been known within the ICSD community as “the neighbors of the masjid,” since they lived directly across the street.
When Nader heard the gunshots, he immediately ran toward the danger. He grabbed whatever he could from Brother Amin Abdullah and went inside to confront the two terrorists. He was martyred in the process.
At the same time, his wife was barricaded inside the kindergarten classroom with her students. Despite the unimaginable fear and chaos, she remained composed so the children would not be afraid. Imagine her strength... Evacuating with her students and then witnessing the carnage brought upon our house of worship and school.
Brother Nader was always trying to do right by people, especially by his children. His children attended my Quran classes, and their parents would often ask me to check in on them and mentor them. They cared deeply about their children and the children of the community. They would always say, “Please talk to our children because they listen to you and need good mentorship.” SubhanAllah, this is the kind of family the Awads are.
When Brother Nader heard the gunshots, he ran into the gunfire from across the street not knowing what would happen, only knowing that his wife, the children, and the community were in danger and that he had to do something. By the will of Allah, he delayed the shooters and prevented them from reaching the classrooms.
He saved an untold number of children’s lives yesterday.
May Allah accept Nader as a Shaheed.

Did they engage in some heroic act? These are literally the rapists who gang raped Palestinians on camera, celebrated and protected. This isn’t just a “Netanyahu” problem. This is the systemic dehumanization and double standard the world has normalized.
The IDF systematically rapes.
I read every story of how they rape our prisoners. I watched the video of the gang rape that was celebrated by ministers and Israeli media. Every. Single. Accusation. Is. A. Confession.
I’m receiving a number of press inquiries to defend myself against the “antisemite” smear. I’m not doing any of those.
Anyone who defends a state or its ideology that has enabled its soldiers to gleefully snipe dead thousands of Palestinian children or gang rape Palestinian prisoners to death ALL ON CAMERA should be on trial, not me or anyone who dares speak out. Those who defend this genocide and occupation are worse than the apologists of any monstrous regime or actor in history because these crimes have been filmed for the world to see, and are well documented by every human rights organization in the world. Call me what you want. My family and people’s blood is on your hands, and your tongues will one day testify against you.
No regard for civilian life, civilian infrastructure, the consequences of his craziness to the nations in the region that he calls “allies” that will suffer because of him, or even to his own country.
Went to war for Israel. Won’t back down because of his fragile ego.
A small man.
A madman.
A lunatic.
A terrorist.
While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.
Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.
Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.
By definition, terrorism is the use of threats or violence to intimidate a population for political ends, and that is exactly what this is. Threatening power plants, bridges, and mass suffering for civilians shows contempt for innocent human life. Invoking Allah’s name in mockery only adds to its vileness.
Mass execution is now official state policy in the country that receives the largest share of our American tax dollars.
“The only democracy in the Middle East” is celebrating the legalization of death by hanging – exclusively for Palestinian prisoners – with MP’s openly sporting noose pins.
Just FYI, the conviction rate for Palestinian prisoners is around 98%; meanwhile, Isr@elis who are documented on video raping and killing civilians are released with no charges.
Shaun, I understand that racist bigots like you can't allow simple truths and obvious realities to be absorbed into your limited minds, but I actually encourage those of your followers who are sincerely searching for the truth to follow your words, and 'listen to this man' directly.
Firstly, here's the full talk, which was an academic lecture at Georgetown University in which I was describing other preachers, and which you falsely assumed was me talking about my own views:
https://t.co/YEQiEreLJD
Secondly, I am one of the most well-known and widely followed clerics in the English speaking world. My lectures, sermons, and speeches number in the thousands, and you'll find almost all of them online. None of my actual listeners and followers understands me to be some radical terrorist. For you to 'magically' discover that I'm some sort of crypto-jihadist and have an evil, sinister agenda is literally announcing to the world your own anti-Muslim racism. For you, every Muslim is an evil, terrorist prone, pseudo-jihadist.
Listen to my talks in context, have your followers listen to my interviews and even interview me on difficult subjects, and you'll hear me say harsh truths, politically incorrect realities, and a whole host of views that some will agree with and some won't. But wht you won't find - except in your perverted imagination that is based on doctored snippets - is some hidden sinister agenda to enact some evil terrorist plot, because that's not who I am or what I've ever preached.
Yes, I wish to change many aspects of my country, but so do you. I want to make America a better place to live. I want to change its foreign policy to be more ethical and noble. If the language I employ as I appeal to people of my background and faith, terrifies you, that betrays more about your own ignorance and cowardice that about my methodology and goals.
I doubt you really believe in God; if you do, pray that He guides you before it is too late, and if not, I look forward to the Day He will Judge all who supported genocide and aided and abetted killing tens of thousands of innocent people.
PS. May I ask those who support this message to retweet it in order that this Zionist bigot be drowned out in his slanderous accusation.
PPS. Zionism is evil; Judaism is a faith and should not be equated with the Zionist project. I am anti-Zionist, and being anti-Zionist is not anti-Semitic.
We grew up seeing black and white footage of Nazi atrocities, hundreds of bodies piled up and carted away, and thought to ourselves: “That could never happen again.”
Israel had proved us wrong.
A vegetable market in Gaza has been converted to a mass graveyard with over a hundred casualties in just one day. We no longer need grainy black and white video: we can see the same reality played out again in vivid color.
No nation that wreaks such wanton evil shall ever be allowed to flourish. We shall soon see the collapse of the neo-Nazi state.
ألا إن نصر الله قريب
When the slaughter of the people of Gaza started nine months ago, I vowed to myself that life would never be the same. We cannot and will not stand by whilst bombs drop on innocents. I realised that to stop this genocide we needed to make the politicians listen. And on Thursday, we did just that.
I don't have big donors. I don't have a party machine behind me. But I am going to win this, one conversation at a time.
Urgent call out. I need help to knock on as many doors as possible this weekend. Sign up here and join my campaign ⬇️

The devastation in Gaza is heart-wrenching. It’s even more devastating when you realize how if the Muslims were united, such calamities could potentially be averted. Consider the example of Mehmed II:
I will never ever forget you. I will never forgive your killers. And I will keep your memory alive.
