Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.
You probably didn’t hear about it.
Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.
Both from Bradford.
They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.
Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:
"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."
Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:
"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."
Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.
Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.
They deserved every word.
But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.
We have seen this before.
Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.
Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.
LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.
He ran towards the blade.
A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.
This is the pattern.
When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.
When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.
Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.
Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.
One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."
He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.
They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.
They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.
The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.
"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32
Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.
Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.
And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.
When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.
When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.
Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.
Muslim men.
Say both.

We really CANNOT have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.
He has had an emergency decompressive hemicraniectomy, left-sided, where the likely dominant brain side is damaged forever. He will probably never be able to speak again, and never be able to feel and move the right side of his body.
At his age, the reason for that is most likely a mass intracranial hemorrhage and swelling due to severe head trauma. He must have also spent a long time in a coma, hence the tracheostomy.
This is, without much room for doubt, the face of a tortured man who has barely survived an emergency procedure, which in normal circumstances would be extremely uncommon for someone his age - and whose quality of life has been reduced to almost zero forever.
This is how you protest. Not with cutest signs, not with cringey chants. Not with stupid hats. You roll up your sleeves and fuck some shit up.
I never thought in 2026, that i’d be rooting for Albania and Iran. But here we are.
@sairaspooks Have you tried the oblivion remake? Or even just original oblivion, it’s such a gorgeous game that I would often load it up just to wander around and listen to the music and vibe
I used to play Xbox 360 late into the morning when I was in school. My parents found out and started turning the router off at night.
Amazingly they didn’t require a parliamentary majority and royal assent.
@jayveeonYT Maybe leave AC until there’s more info around Hexe since that’ll be the next mainline game and there’s more attention around GTA right now. Also I don’t see many people talking about the older GTA’s other than 5
Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA.
The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications.
This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.
Is it really going to be like this every time a new game comes out with a lady lead…? Do I really have to be subjected to grown men crying on the internet because there’s an “old” woman as the lead? Mind you that “old woman” is still younger than half these old ass crybabies. 💀
People in the comments angry at the Mayor of New York... biking though his city... speaking to his constituents? I don't know but if someone is running my local community I'd kind of expect him to be in it.
