no, people want to feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves

this is not community, it’s the perennial search for collective effervescence

[Fatima Khan @khanthefatima]

This sort of framing, which pragmatic secularists frequently latch on to, is so misleading because it presents polarization as the problem. 'Why can't we all just get along' types. Anti-Muslim politics is not the same as Hindu-Muslim politics. Call it by its correct name.

The face reactions of the interviewers say it all

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.

Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.

As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.

Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.

Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.

A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

The DR Congo arrival fits are pure aura.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister.

It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage.

Others seem to be met with silence.

A Muslim woman is pleading for help after her sister was kidnapped by three men from the same village. The family claims that when they approached the police for help in tracing her sister, they were told their complaint would not be registered because “they are Muslims.”

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

Imagine the level of impunity where people committing abduction and aggravated assault film themselves and put it in the public domain to humiliate and terrorise Muslims.

[Laal Saalan @laalsaalan]

in india, workers could die by having tonnes of molten steel fall on their body and yet there is no outrage from privileged ppl but the same section of society will call workers anti-national if they protest for safer working conditions.

the only reason for this is caste system.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

This is how institutions in India perpetuate Apartheid like conditions.

What is wrong with putting I love Mohammad posters INSIDE a mosque?
But the Sambhal cops will make it into a crime and file an FIR and use that to seal the mosque.

[Yusuf A Ahmad Ansari یوسف انصاری @yusufpore]

In U.P. law-enforcement appears to have been outsourced into brazen, illegal-vigilantism. Any random dropout, anarchist scumbag or social reject is free to vitiate or disrupt harmony, with increasing immunity. Forget external investors, such free-rein to anti-social elements signals an unacceptable loss of control, for any government.

[Anubhav Singh @lucifer_damned]

My support for any movement or party is reserved for those who can look at the rot within Indian society in the eyes and call it out for what it is - naked hate for Muslims. If you talk of social justice without uttering the word “Muslim” - you legitimize their exclusion.

India pushed in 28 persons suspecting them of being illegal immigrants but Bangladesh refused to take them back. Currently the group is located in the no-man's land under open sky and getting soaked in rain. @ProthomAlo reports.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

The fact that she says this so publicly is a testament to the fact that she expects no pushback from her co religionists.
