Blonde-haired, blue-eyed white people from Ukraine were celebrated for making home-made Molotov cocktails to defend their land, but the brown Arab Muslim, the Iranian, the Afghan, is far too “uncivilised” to have the right to resist. Their resistance is “barbaric” because it comes from an inherently “violent” culture.
The selective application of international law and one’s right to defend themselves from illegal occupation and colonial violence has been revealed to be a complete contradiction in the west, and is no doubt infuriating.
But we need to also understand how these “resistance” narratives are processed in communities.
These narratives do not stay on our screens. They shape how entire communities see themselves.
When Indigenous, Black, and other racialised peoples repeatedly see their histories, struggles, cultures, and resistance framed as dangerous, irrational, or inherently violent, many begin to internalise those messages.
Some distance themselves from their own identities in search of safety, acceptance, or legitimacy.
Others carry a deep, unspoken rage born from exclusion, dispossession, and the constant demand to prove their humanity.
When people are disconnected from their roots, denied dignity, and taught to be ashamed of where they come from, they will still search for belonging. It’s a basic human need to feel a sense of community.
The question is whether we create spaces that nurture healing, identity, and justice, or leave them vulnerable to finding belonging in places that exploit their pain.
الحمدللہ! اللہ تعالیٰ کا لاکھ لاکھ شکر ہے کہ اس نے مجھے حجِ بیت اللہ کی سعادت سے نوازا۔
بہت سے لوگوں نے قیاس و گمان کیا کہ یہ سفر کس نے کروایا اور کیسے ہوا، مگر حقیقت یہ ہے کہ یہ میرا خالصانہ ذاتی فیصلہ تھا۔
میں نے اپنے دل میں ایک روحانی منزل پائی تھی جہاں حج فرض ادا کرنا ضروری ہوگیا۔
اس مقدس سفر نے میری روح میں ایک ایسی الٰہی چنگاری روشن کردی ہے جو ہمیشہ جلتی رہے گی۔
دعا ہے کہ میرے جیسے بہت سے بھائی اور بہنیں بھی اس روحانی سفر کا حوصلہ کریں، حج کی سعادت حاصل کریں اور اسی لُطفِ الٰہی سے سرشار ہوں۔
Hajj is something every muslim should experience, for me being present between millions under the open sky was a humbling & profound reminder that we all are equal in the eyes of Almighty... 🌙🤲🏻
Wishing Eid Mubarak to everyone in London and around the world celebrating Eid al-Adha.
As families and communities come together, I hope this Eid brings peace, happiness and blessings.
🚨 JUST IN:
Italian actor Antonio Di Matteo opened a banner titled "Stop the massacre in Gaza" at the Rome International Film Festival to support the Palestinian people.
On this blessed Day of Arafah, wishing peace, mercy and countless blessings to Muslims around the world. 🤍
Please keep me and my family in your prayers as well. 🤲
#DayOfArafah#Hajj
UPDATE: After national outrage erupted when the British public realised Dr Eastland Staveley—who said he didn't shoot enough babies—is working at @DHUHealthCare....
DHU are now HIDING THEIR ROTA.
Staveley works from home, triaging patients as a GP. If the rota is hidden, no one sees him in person. DHU don't want anyone knowing if he is still actively treating British patients.
Instead of an immediate suspension and investigation, a potential war criminal is being PROTECTED.
The @gmcuk and @the_mpts have been investigating and suspending anti-genocide and anti-supremacy doctors on behalf of the pro-'israel' lobby while doing nothing about this reprehensible zionist jewish doctor for FOUR months.
This is an unavoidable example of the supremacy we have been fired for naming and opposing.
Pakistan’s connection to Arsenal's Premier League triumph
Arsenal lifts the Premier League title, and there's a British-Pakistani, Dr Zafar Iqbal, the club's Head of Sports Medicine, as part of Arsenal's historic success.
Born in Gojra with family roots in Sahiwal, Dr Zafar joined Arsenal in 2024 after previously working with Liverpool and Crystal Palace. He is also a trusted name among Pakistani cricketers, with several national players consulting him for fitness and injury-related issues over the years.
A proud Pakistani link to the top of English football. Our own, a Pakistani winner of the Premier League.
BREAKING:
Israel is massively bombing the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon right now, in the middle of the night, with zero warning given to civilians.
Families are asleep in their homes.
No military targets. No justification.
Just Israeli bombs falling on civilian areas in the dark.
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
Bollywood Star Shah Rukh Khan breaks his silence with a powerful statement:
"Israel kills, America finances, and Europe supports.. Silence is complicity."
These are the nine major teams in the English Premier League (EPL) who are directly sponsored by Israeli companies complicit in genocide, according to a major report by War on Want.
All 20 Premier League clubs are also indirectly sponsored by Barclays, the EPL’s main sponsor and “Banking Partner”, despite the bank’s long-documented links to apartheid in South Africa and Israel, as well as arms and companies linked to Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank.
Eight clubs were found to have no links to Israel through their sponsors: Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, West Ham, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
