Now can we stop pretending the UK doesn't have a powerful Israeli lobby designed to ruin your life if you dare challenge anything remotely linked with Israel.
I stand by my opinion about Sacha Baron Cohen ridiculing Muslims.
His Ali G character had ambiguous origins for the first four years. His name was Ali and his uncle's name was Jamal. Naturally, a lot of people assumed he was Muslim.
Only later did he reveal the character's name as Alistair Leslie Graham after four years of ambiguity.
Cohen's career then included a racist depiction of Borat from Muslim Kazakhstan. And then there was the Muammar Gaddafi impression in the Dictator film.
Baron Cohen was brought up an orthodox Jew, speaks Hebrew and has spent a lot of time in Israel. He has made a series about Mossad and has made public statements supportive of Israel.
Join the dots - he's a Zionist ridiculing his enemies.
James English has been found guilty of domestic abuse following a 12-day trial after repeatedly assaulting his pregnant ex-partner and verbally abusing her, calling her a “fat slag” and a “little bitch.”
He grabbed her by the neck while she was pregnant, squeezed it and pushed her against a door.
On another occasion, he pressed his thumbs into her eyebrows while she was pregnant.
He also kicked her out of bed so hard that she hit a wardrobe after refusing to cuddle him.
He slapped her and pulled her hair during the abuse.
He will be sentenced next month.
Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?
For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir, which according to the UN, amounts to torture and which is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health.
He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.
The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.
He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.
Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.
Yet those orders are being defied.
This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.
He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.
His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls.
I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father.
@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court; restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.
Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government to please now do the right thing.

🚨 BREAKING:
UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev explains his comments on Palestine:
"They [Israel] aren't killing terrorists; they're killing children and the elderly. It's madness."
“Ronaldo is just a goalscorer like Haaland.”
He wasn’t even regarded as a striker until his return to Man United in 2021, at 36 years old.
The most complete footballer the sport has ever seen. 🐐
I'm tired of this BS. Charlie Kirk hated Muslims & mocked the deaths of Muslims, cracking jokes about innocent Palestinians having their homes destroyed & referring to "stupid Muslims." His murder was inexcusable & horrific, obviously, but he was undeniably a hate-filled bigot.
A Scouse Muslim who’s been here all of his life has been in touch with me.
He feels the page is bias against Muslims and I have overlooked the good charity work he and his group do.
After I explained the concept of the page to him that anyone can post what they want on this page. They come to me, I don’t go to them. It is open to anyone for anything.
Now he gets it, and he has sent this in.
Total respect to these people. This is the kind of thing I would much rather be promoting from the Muslim community but unfortunately this type of content isn’t sent in often enough.
If you want to change the narrative. Only you the reader of this can do that. Insulting people in the comment section changes nothing.
Send it in like he did.
Give them a follow on Instagram and get involved. The Liverpool Muslim Outreach.
😌 Khabib says we ‘never saw his limit’ in the cage, but the closest was the Justin Gaethje fight
“In fights no, you’ve never seen my limit in fights.
First and foremost, it was because I had lost my father, it was hard to pull myself together. Everything piled up at once, my father was gone. Training without my father, without the person I was doing this for.
Physically, I was not in the best shape, I had injury after injury after injury. But, mentally speaking I stayed completely sharp.”

What in the world @Google?
Haven’t you learned your lesson from how terrible your search was on Islam? Now your AI is just casually being Islamophobic?
Try this yourself and tag google with your results.
“We must flood social media with fake news to defend Israel,” says Israeli politician Eli Hazan.
“Truth no longer matters,” he adds.
Well, that’s 10/10 for honesty.
Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos reportedly opens up about his conversion to Islam, saying he has no regrets and claiming Cristiano Ronaldo congratulated him on the decision.
🗣️ Roberto Carlos: “I really don’t understand why people are angry about my decision. This is my choice, and people should respect my faith. I won’t deny that my wife influenced me to convert, but it’s no big deal because I have always loved Islam. Most of my relatives back in Brazil aren’t pleased with my decision, but I don’t care because it’s my life and my choice.
Cristiano Ronaldo even congratulated me and told me that whenever I come to Saudi Arabia, I should contact him because his home is always open to me and my wife. That’s the kind of gesture and love I wish I could receive from other people and relatives instead of all this backlash.”
