A Muslim woman activist has died.

She was one of Britain's most recognised Muslim women activists of her time.

Her name was Maz Saleem.

For over a decade, if you stood at an anti-racism demonstration in this country, you likely heard her speak.

She wrote for the Independent, 5Pillars, Counterfire, Middle East Eye.
She stood against Islamophobia and the far right when few others would say the words.

She never chose this work.

It came for her on 29 April 2013. Two phone calls, seconds apart.

"Dad's been stabbed."
"Dad's dead."

Her father. Haji Mohammed Saleem. 82.

Followed home from Isha prayers in Small Heath, Birmingham.
Stabbed three times from behind. Yards from his front door.

His killer was a terrorist. In the country less than a week.
He was only caught after he bombed three mosques.
He was convicted under terrorism laws.

But every headline led with "white supremacist."

Maz said police told the family within minutes it was not racist.
She said her own family were investigated first.

Three weeks later, Lee Rigby was murdered.
COBRA convened. National outrage. Terrorism, in almost every article.

Her father's murder: "racially motivated." Quietly filed. Moved on from.

Maz asked for one thing.

Call it what it was. Terrorism.

The press never did.

We will.

Pavlo Lapshyn was a terrorist.
Mohammed Saleem was murdered in an act of terror.
His daughter spent thirteen years making Britain hear it.

This April, she wrote that she had forgiven her father's killer.
And that Britain had still not faced the truth about why he was killed.

She never stopped saying his name.

She was a Muslim woman.
Her name was Maz Saleem.

He was a Muslim man.
His name was Mohammed Saleem.

Say both.

We remember them both.

And now, insha'Allah, they are together again, in Jannatul Firdaus.

Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

So the UK now has a Chancellor obsessed with spending money on bombs and missiles and feeding the military industrial complex.

Anybody expecting living standards to rise for ordinary people is a fool.

Just shoplifted £10bn worth of stuff from Tesco.

Said to the Police Officer who came, "It was an honest mistake."

He said, "You know what we won't even investigate and you can just keep it all."

If I had the money, I’d buy the NYT’s front page just to run this piece.

HOW IS EVERYONE NOT SCREAMING IN OUTRAGE?

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

They called the Vietnamese resistance fanatical.

They called the Iraqi resistance fanatical.

They called the Afghan resistance fanatical.

They called the Iranian revolutionaries fanatical.

They called the Palestinian resistance fanatical.

They have called every organized resistance to American military and political power, in every country, across eight decades, fanatical.

At what point does a pattern this consistent stop being a description of the people being labeled and start being a description of the labeler?

Fanaticism means: belief so extreme it has disconnected from rational motivation.

But the rational motivation is always there.

It is always visible.

It is always documented.

It is: you are here, in my country, with guns. I want you to leave.

That is not fanaticism.

That is the most basic political logic in human history.

The word "fanaticism" is what power reaches for when it refuses to follow that logic to its obvious source.

Which is: the guns.

Which is: the presence.

Which is: the empire itself.

Let’s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist?

Like if he is.
RT if he is going to lose Clacton to Count Binface.

The whole country knows what Jeremy Corbyn's front door looks like. The media used to camp outside it every day.

Nigel Farage hasn't received even 5% of the treatment Jeremy Corbyn faced.
