Today is the International day to combat Islamophobia.
Every day we see the far right, from Nigel Farage & Reform UK to fascist Tommy Robinson, scapegoat the Muslim community.
It’s time to come #Together to oppose Islamophobia.
Join us on the streets of London, 28 March.
To My Muslim Sisters… Please Hear Me With Your Hearts
I write to you as a European Muslim Girl in her twenties, living alone, leaving my home every morning not by choice, but by necessity.
I do not go out because I love the world, but because here, the world leaves you no option when you have no support.
I work for very little pay
not because I lack ability, but because I am hijabi.
Because I chose modesty.
Because I refused mixing.
And the price of holding onto my faith is paid every single day, quietly.
Every morning I step out carrying a weight no one sees:
Stares that scan me,
Questions that pierce me:
Why do you wear this hijab?
Why did you convert to Islam?
As if I must justify my faith anew each day.
Do you know what I truly wish for?
Not status.
Not attention.
Not the “freedom” they keep preaching.
I wish for a home.
For a door that closes over me with protection, not loneliness.
I wish I didn’t have to face a harsh world just to preserve myself.
That is why I tell you
painfully, truthfully:
You are living in a blessing. A blessing.
One that only those who lose it truly understand.
The home is not a prison
it is safety.
Modesty is not backwardness
it is mercy.
And going out is not always empowerment;
sometimes it is a daily battle that drains the soul and the faith.
Do not be deceived by those who shout “freedom” in your ears,
or by those who mock a woman for choosing her home, as if she is defeated.
True defeat is being pushed into a path you never chose.
True freedom is choosing what brings you closer to God and peace to your heart.
Hold tightly to what you have.
Thank Allah for blessings whose value is only known when they are gone.
Because here… many women like me
are not fighting to gain something,
we are fighting
just to remain who we are.
TIKTOK CONFESSION: Woman Told "Date a White Guy?" Her Response – Instant NO.
Comments flooded with white men admitting "We can't compete anymore" & "It's over for us in dating" and calling it racial "defeat."
THOUGHTS?
This is entirely manufactured, FYI.
People have been made afraid or hateful by propaganda, inflated coverage of crimes by certain races, skewed stats, politicians encouraging hate and division and every information source promoting the hypernormalisation of the far right.
