My latest: A contribution to "The Political Economy of Dissent" volume edited by Peter Blunt, Cecilia Escobar and Vlassis Missos. Honoured to be included alongside scholars such as Noam Chonsky and Yanis Varoufakis.
@theprimalplot We started work on a special issue on Muslims in the Manosphere some time ago, inviting scholars from different backgrounds to write on this phenomenon. We hope that our special issue on Muslims in the Manosphere will be published in the next few months so please look out for it
Unfortunately, the manosphere continues to be a cultural force to be reckoned with. Muslims are not exceptions to the pull of this force. The story told in this article is one that will be familiar to many Muslim families.

I and @theprimalplot wrote about the Alt Wallah and the Muslim Manosphere in 2022 and since then the manosphere in general has embedded itself into everyday life in a far greater way (the ubiquitous use of the words "mogging" and "looksmaxxing" ( being examples).
Starmer with his huge majority could have rebuilt the NHS and radically changed society for the better. Instead he pandered to the right-wing, arrested pensioners for holding signs, appointed a friend of a pedophile and facilitated a genocide in Palestine.
This is your legacy.
I’ll never forget Keir Starmer’s island of strangers speech and how he fanned the flames of hateful anti-immigration rhetoric that is radicalising people & making the country less safe for us all. What a legacy to leave behind as a Labour leader.
It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out.
An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken.
But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?
Although crown and signet have passed from us,
Do not look with contempt on our beggarliness!
In thine eyes we are good for nothing,
Thinking old thoughts, despicable.
We have honour from "There is no god but Allah."
We are the protectors of the universe.
- Iqbal, Asrar e Khudi
Hasan Piker: “Israel is the actual terrorist. Hezbollah would not exist if Israel had not invaded and occupied Lebanon. Right now it is the only force in Lebanon that is actually fighting back against the alien invaders that are illegally blowing up villages. I don’t care about your fucking feelings. I care about the truth. The truth is Hezbollah in Lebanon right now is not only fighting a just war, they’re fighting a moral one. Israel’s actions in Lebanon are war crimes. Facts don’t care about your fucking feelings”
Lowe's 'Rape Gang Inquiry Report' purposefully silenced brown survivors' voices
There are multiple survivors whose voices were excluded from Lowe's report - seemingly to serve its racist, Islamophobic ends. Content warning with this article:

"The dunya is a test" has become for countless Muslims a theology of acceptance & fatalism. The world is broken? It's a test. We're behind? It's a test. Our institutions don't work? It's a test. And therefore, don't strive too hard to fix it, bc the real prize is elsewhere.
This grooming gang survivor was kicked out of Rupert Lowe’s inquiry because she is Brown.
He obviously has an agenda, and he is using the victims’ trauma, but he clearly does not care about all the victims.
I really hope every wrong’un who abused those girls, and anyone who protected them faces the full force of the law.
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.
Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and @Keir_Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting.
QWHITE revealing!
Yes I’m on this platform, but I recognise that @UKLabour needs to BAN TWITTER.
Elon Musk is actively trying to destabilise the UK. It is a matter of national security.
Also: Show some backbone. Arrest Robinson, Farage and Lowe. Close GBNews. Incitement is not “free speech.”
What’s happening is just an updated version of the Gunpowder Plot.
Western media showed more outrage for Qatar not allowing alcohol during the World Cup than a place which is denying the entry of both players and fans from multiple nations and has the possibility of a mass shooting at any given time, right
Hi darling @ToniKroos
You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.
Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.
If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.
Fuck you.
