@cal_scfc I'm most concerned how Danny actually knows that Bob ended up in the van? How could he possibly know unless he himself threw poor Bob into it? We need a prompt and thorough investigation @BBC! Interview his neighbours and family... And all neighbourhood cats #ReleasetheBobfiles

@itvfootball Given Marsch's love for performative cringe like this, I can't help but think of him as Rob Edwards' American step brother

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.

@AaronWar_ If DR Congo beat Uzbekistan then will we face them instead of Senegal? Assuming England finishes top

@MattWktqg @KayBurley @SkyNews Yes Matt, in this dynamic I'm the stupid and deluded one, and you're the intellectually superior one... Don't let any anyone else, or any logic, tell you otherwise...

@joeyblower @KayBurley @SkyNews Yeah: https://t.co/YMUtPWCYPo

@AdamRichman @ITVSport @itvfootball It's quite fitting that ITV have you being a football pundit despite you making your name as a food critic. The past their prime bits of football meat like Ronaldo, Modric, Dzeko etc must stand out like a sore thumb to you!

@BasilTheGreat It’s such a shame to see how @RichardAyoade and @BigBoyler turned out…

@PhilSpenc23 I hope we’re in for Radek Vitek. His stats were insane this season on loan at Bristol City. His highlight reel is fantastic too: https://t.co/A2YzfoI3sL

@DomShawEcho Have Boro confirmed that the Championship play-off final loser got to keep the ticket/tv money like usually happens? And how much is this?

[Paul Marwood @p_mards]

VAR at Wembley *should* be a massive advantage for Boro given the ridiculous number of blatant penalties and red cards that referees miss without VAR

Growing up I never really understood why one of the first tabloid WAG's Lizzie Cundy pumped her face full of botox & plastic surgery... until tonight, when I saw her ex-husband & full-time buffoon, Jason Cundy, make me painfully frown & scowl on @talkSPORT

[Paul Marwood @p_mards]

@robert_huth Well done Huthhhh! Hope you're well!

[Paul Marwood @p_mards]

@nickdemarco_ Typical lawyer knowing all the loopholes, Nick! I hope Steve Gibson organises you a seat for the final... Thank you from all at Boro and the wider football community who couldn't abide seeing a wrong go unpunished

@Grannie1964 @CarlDraper98 That doesn't need explaining. It's the lack of a comma that's being mocked as it massively changes your sentence into gobbledygook.
