STATEMENT | The Forde report confirms what many Muslim Labour Party members as well as Muslims who have left the party due to discrimination have been warning of: the Labour Party is institutionally Islamophobic.
With its new leadership election, the Conservative Party has a chance to turn a new page on its history of deplorable treatment of British Muslim organisations and individuals.
Islamophobia in the Conservative Party must be investigated.
STATEMENT | The Conservative Party’s refusal to work with and meet with the @MuslimCouncil and @ZaraM01 is the latest in a long line of shameful actions taken by the Conservatives with the aim of sidelining Muslims and shutting them out of mainstream politics.

I seem to be on the front page of the Daily Mail. A paper that has regularly reinforced negative tropes about British Muslims. Today it reinforced that trope by reporting on a supposedly ‘controversial’ meeting I had with Penny Mordaunt last year which was widely known.
Srebrenica women recognised for highlighting 1995 genocide
“It was the injustice of their killers, their refusal to acknowledge what they did and to repent, that pushed me to fight for truth and justice.” https://t.co/4iKLy4PoEX
Today marks 27 years since the Srebrenica genocide where 8,372 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were rounded up and systematically killed by Serb fascist forces in one of the worst genocides to take place on European soil 🧵

Waael Muqbal (62) at the hospital after around 10 settlers barged into his and his wife Samiha's (53) home, severely beat him, pepper-sprayed her in the face, and upturned the whole place. A pogrom.
The case has been closed, journalist Yuval Abraham published yesterday. >
Boris Johnson is not sorry about his record. He's sorry for himself that he has been finally pushed to leave.
This lack of accountability is dangerous for our democracy and the millions of people who have to live the dire consequences of Johnson’s premiership.
Boris Johnson has resided over some of the most cruel and disastrous policies this country has ever seen.
Cost of living crisis
Partygate
COVID deaths and gutting of NHS
Rise in Islamophobia
Rwanda deportations
Citizenship deprivation
He hasn’t apologised for a single one.
A reminder that Boris Johnson demonised Muslim women as “bank robbers” and called them “letterboxes”. His derogatory and racist remarks led to a 375% rise in Islamophobic incidents.
He has never apologised for those remarks.
Today I’m thinking about the time Boris Johnson mocked Muslim women as “bank robbers” & “letterboxes” — sparking a 375% rise in Islamophobic incidents — & much of the political class shrugged their shoulders & let him off.
Good riddance to Boris. Shame on those who enabled him.
We continue to demand an end to the Hindu-supremacist violence & fascist policies of Modi and his gov.
Our Indian brothers and sisters are on the brink of genocide.

Solidarity with @ApsanaBegumMP. All parties need to ensure that survivors of domestic abuse are not exposed to further harrassment in their roles, and understand the impact that ongoing abuse can have. Violence against women must always be taken seriously.
“Muslim women face some of the highest pay gaps and barriers to employment of any group in Britain today. Any attempt to understand the experience of Muslims in the economy must reflect the particular experiences of Muslim women.” - @fawcettsociety

It’s #WorldRefugeeDay2022, incredibly.
A short thread about the latest barbarity that Priti Patel is marking the occasion by rolling out to almost all refugees: electronic tagging.
Oh yes, come on, you didn’t think she’d reached her peak yet did you? #r4today
