Was just stopped at JFK, questioned for 2 hours, my whole phone searched, the officer said: We don’t really get folks like you who are knowledgeable and well travelled, would you be interested in speaking to us regularly about what your hearing on the ground? I said I’ll have a think and they let me go.
A short essay on how Britain came to view migrants and Muslims as threats to its national identity, plus a short analysis of Kamila Shamsie's novel, #HomeFire (2017).

Travelling to #AERA2023 to debate how to challenge lived experiences of race based inequalities that are not reducible to class with @emilia_howker only to find myself subject to several extra security checks only targeted at me Manchester and Dublin airports #racialprofiling 1/n
NEW—We released #FlyingWhileMuslim stories collected after leaked TSA No-Fly list revealed many Muslim & Arab names. Narratives express systemic harassment of Muslims. Tell ur story to pressure elected officials, airlines, & more to address the problem https://t.co/jBr05XINKe
Last week, a hacktivist leaked the No-Fly list, which had thousands of Muslim & Arab names. We want to hear your #FlyingWhileMuslim story so we can show the harms we’ve faced while traveling: https://t.co/HTsP38rxxJ
So many people have been affected by the No-Fly List for so long.
We hope that by sharing our #FlyingWhileMuslim stories, publicly or anonymously, we can end the silence and change that.
Because we all deserve to fly without fear. https://t.co/9wcTVSV18R
Let us know if you have a #FlyingWhileMuslim story that deserves to be shared, anonymously or otherwise: https://t.co/9wcTVSV18R
The exposed No-Fly list allows us to get this problem back into the national conversation — so we can finally pressure elected officials to solve it.
One way that can start: telling and sharing our stories. #FlyingWhileMuslim
We know the No-Fly List has egregiously harmed so many people, some for many years now: https://t.co/aFTGKSguvH
This is a *longstanding* problem. #FlyingWhileMuslim
Excessive security measures, like the forced removal of the Hijabs, full body pat downs, and worse, have happened to MPower staffers and community members. #FlyingWhileMuslim
We’re tired of persistent harassment because of our faith.
That’s why we’ve launched #FlyingWhileMuslim 2023, to document the impact of Muslim profiling by the U.S. No-Fly list.

We ALL deserve to fly safely — Muslim, Arab, Black, brown, or white — all of us.
A secretive list of people targeted without explanation or due process, + disproportionately impacts U.S. Muslims, is more about Islamophobic bigotry than safety. #FlyingWhileMuslim
Last month, a "hacktivist" accessed the No-Fly List & made the info public, confirming what so many feared:
The List is hundreds of thousands of names long. https://t.co/BzaU37k5j6
And it's "almost entirely" Arabic and Muslim names. https://t.co/trREnyO7tR #FlyingWhileMuslim
U.S. Muslims have faced this problem for decades now.
The recent TSA No-Fly List leak just exposed how bad it still is.
#FlyingWhileMuslim is as hard in the U.S. as ever. And it’s long past time politicians took it seriously. More on why below. 🧵
#FlyingWhileBlack #FlyingWhileMuslim Who will be the next group targeted by thugs in uniform abusing their power?🤔
Police steal more than all burglaries combined through civil asset forfeiture, which is when cops take your property even though you haven't been charged with crime. Both Biden and Harris have actively worked to expand this practice and block reforms.
Only person on the line to get “randomly” checked while w my wife and young children🤦🏽♂️

Travelling is hard enough, pls don't encourage this.
And I'm giving this Muslim side-eye because it's a whole different world to #TravellingWhileMuslim or when a text in Arabic to your mum can get you booted off a plane.
