Will they ask Christian Pulisic or Weston Mckennie what do they think about their country inflicting a genocide in Gaza and bombing Iranian kids? Why are these type of questions always asked to Asians and Africans?
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.

Sem brincadeira mas esse video acabou comigo, desigualdade social é o maior crime que o capitalismo produz, eles são apenas crianças e já estão nesse sistema que moe gente…
That man on the left is Shakeel Ahmad Bhat. The Indian police raided his home and brutally assaulted his sister, they threw her out of the second story window, breaking her spine, which resulted in years of unimaginable suffering before she passed away.
They always use his photos, but they never tell his story, because they want to portray Muslims as some savages who are always angry for no reason, and who wants to kill and destroy everything.
The reality is the opposite. Muslims are the only ones brave enough to stand up, they are the only ones fighting for the truth and justice.
Héctor Bellerín @HectorBellerin has once again used his voice for Palestine, reminding us football can be a powerful platform to send positive messages.
He also pointed to FIFA’s double standards. Football stood with Ukraine, but failed to do the same for Palestine.
🚨 This video is now illegal to share in Israel and carries a penalty of 5 years in prison.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Yoav Gallant admits that Israel killed its own citizens under the Hannibal Directive on October 7 and blamed Hamas:

🚨🚨🎙️| Senegal coach: "Even if we were in a world cup final, we would leave for jumuah prayer...even if it meant losing the trophy. you fear the wind; we fear Allah, who created the wind." 🕌
Irish fighter Paddy McCorry defeated Israeli Shuki Farage, raised the Palestinian flag, and repeatedly shouted “Free Palestine” inside the cage while beating Shuki who is a soldier in the ‘IDF’.
🚨Jurgen Klopp on Mohamed Salah performance for Egypt against New Zealand in the World Cup.
🗣️“I stayed up to watch one of the greatest premier league player, Mo Salah is an inspiration to this generation of young players. He never has a bad game in my opinion, he delivered yet again and my sleepless night is worth it.
Scoring and giving an assist in the game to help lift the Nation to the top of table, this is consistency in football as he always steps up anytime his team needs him.
Somethings don’t change at all in football and Mo Salah doesn’t change as well too, his impact in the game today really reminds me of many memories we had together at Liverpool.”
🇸🇳 Kalidou Koulibaly was told by an American journalist:
🗣️ “I recommend you go to the nightclub called Paradise. All the players enjoy the atmosphere there.”
Koulibaly's response:
🗣️ “Since I arrived here, I have only left my house for training sessions and the mosque. We are Muslims; this kind of thing is not part of our religion and our culture.”
Respect. 🙏🏻
