By late August 2024 it was estimated that Israel had dropped over 80,000+ tons of bombs over Gaza, surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II.
With @rahima_farah visiting the Al-Rahma mosque to talk to the Iman and the community leaders about what we can do to support our Muslim community in Liverpool Riverside against this recent upsurge in Islamophobic hate.
We opened the doors of the mosque a week after protesters came outside, and we invited them to come and talk with us.
The event went amazingly well, some of those who protested were here, in addition to many other curios members of our society.
We were asked tough questions about women's rights, the Prophet's ﷺ wives, and sharia law amongst many other topics and we gave honest answers.
We made many new friends and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
Mark shared the message for a protest in Liverpool city centre, driven by misinformation that led him and many well-meaning individuals to join a cause that, unfortunately, was infiltrated by those who incited violence and chaos. This resulted in damage to our beautiful city and created a situation where some good protesters were associated with the actions of a few troublemakers. Mark would like to express his sincere message to the entire Muslim community.
We are scousers united against hate!

Awwww, did you? You thought I’d side with the vile racist Islamophobic guy whose lies about Muslims helped fuel the disgusting riots in UK? If that’s ‘weak’ then I’m happily weak.
Amazing pictures have shown the scale of a gathering in Liverpool tonight as counter-protestors united against the far-right. There had been reports of a planned riot in the Edge Hill area this evening from 8pm. 📸
Rumours say racists are going to #Alrahma mosque but no sign of racists rioters in the area.
We are proud of Liverpool. One city, one love. ❤️

Do not come to this city, or this county, intent on causing disorder or you will be arrested and put before the courts.
If you choose to engage in despicable violence and aggression, you will face the full force of the law.
Watch as Chris Joughin, Head of Matrix and Force Operations, talks about the disorder that has taken place in the past week. ⬇️
Huge turnout in Harrow to stop any possibility of the fascists passing or attacking Muslims, refugees or lawyers who represent them. Lots of Kuffiyehs and Palestine flags. Harrow is anti-fascist and it’s anti-Zionist.
