Look at this weirdo justifying violence against Muslims.

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

Rupert Lowe publicly said Islam was the problem.

The terrorist attack in Edinburgh is on people like him.

He continually puts a target on the backs of Muslims.

Words matter. Stop pretending they don't.

Truly terrifying how hostile the media become toward you, the second you express solidarity with Palestine.

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

The contrast between the coverage of the Edinburgh attack and the Golders Green stabbings is extraordinary. It’s impossible to see any explanation other than very crude, simple racism.

The anti-Muslim hatred in the UK is funded by Zionists and promoted by Elon Musk.

[SNEAKO @sneako]

So when it’s Pakistanis it’s a Muslim grooming gang, but when it’s Epstein island why is it not called a Jewish conspiracy?

When drugs are smuggled over the border why is it just a Mexican cartel instead of a Catholic one?

Be consistent with your propaganda.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

It is profoundly saddening & disgraceful how clearly Muslims in Britain are shown the lack of value those working in our media & politicians place on their lives & their safety as compared to members of other communities. 😔

Five Muslim men were chased through Edinburgh with a machete on Friday night.

Two of them were 22 years old.

They were walking through their own city. Sighthill. Then the west. Then Leith Walk.

By the end of the night, five were injured and three were in hospital.

Tonight they are lying in those beds wondering if they will be well enough for work on Monday.

The man who did it was pinned to the ground by police, still screaming.

"I'm protecting the country from these Muslim bastards raping our young daughters."

Ask where a man learns to say that out loud.

He didn't invent it.

Three days earlier, Rupert Lowe published a crowdfunded report claiming 250,000 white girls had been raped by Muslim gangs.

The number was everywhere. GB News. X. The front pages.

Then a man took it into the street on the end of a blade.

He needed one breath to name who he hated.

Watch how long it took everyone else.

The BBC first wrote "Islamophobic attacks." Then changed it to "anti-Muslim." The right word, quietly swapped.

Sky News: "appearing to target Muslims."

LBC kept the word. The only outlet that did. The same station that dropped Sangita Myska in 2024 after she refused to soften.

Then the politicians.

Manchester synagogue, October. John Swinney, same day: "Antisemitism is an evil we must confront." He named the faith. He named the community. That was right.

Edinburgh, his own capital. Swinney: "deeply concerned" by "these incidents." Not Muslim. Not Islamophobia.

The Prime Minister, almost a day late: "appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred."

The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, a Muslim woman, the minister whose department decides what this country calls terrorism. Golders Green: "a vile act of terrorism." Edinburgh: "appears."

Even her.

Still no COBRA. The threat level has not moved. And not one of them will name the attacker's faith.

When the man with the blade is one of us, his religion leads the headline before the ambulance arrives.

When he comes for us, he is a bare-chested man with a weapon.

We have watched this before.

Maysum Abdullah took a knife to the neck shielding his pupils. A hero in every paper. A Muslim in none of them.

Mohammed Algasim, a Saudi student, stabbed to death in the neck in Cambridge. His name barely printed.

And it is not slowing down. In a single week, three mosques were attacked and an imam's home was firebombed. Batley. Blackburn. Bolton. Barely a ripple.

A man knew exactly who he hated and said it in one sentence.

The press could not print it without editing it. The politicians could not say it without softening it. The state would not lift a finger to escalate it.

The whole country saw what it was. Almost no one in power would say the word.

Hands held over their mouths.

Tonight, five Muslim men are in an Edinburgh hospital.

They were victims.

They were Muslim.

They prayed, they fasted, they practised the religion of Islam.

And every word of that was stripped from the page.

If they won’t say it. We will.

ISLAMOPHOBIA.

A man armed with an axe and other weapons entered a mosque in Manchester.

A woman wearing a hijab was hit by a car in southeast London.

A 36-year-old white Scottish man was charged yesterday after stabbing five people in an anti-Muslim hate attack.

An imam’s house in Bolton was targeted in an arson attack.

There have also been multiple attacks on mosques, including an arson attack intended to endanger life, a projectile attack, multiple incidents involving graffitis, and hate signs.

Not a single COBRA meeting. No dedicated officers to protect the community. Just a few tweets.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.

My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.

They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.

"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."

He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.

And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.

It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.

Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.

It's a real mess, man.

That guy sucks.

[Naz Shah MP @NazShahBfd]

A horrifying anti-Muslim attack in broad daylight in Edinburgh has reportedly left 5 people injured.

Thankfully, there were no fatalities.

The constant fanning of hatred and extremism has consequences and we are sadly seeing more and more open attacks against ordinary British Muslims.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

My full statement on the horrific, but I am afraid to say, unsurprising attacks in Edinburgh.

Enough of the statements of solidarity from governments. Muslims - across the UK - no longer feel safe in the only country they call home.

Time to face down the peddlers of hate.

[Cllr Mohammed Shafiq @mshafiquk]

The sickening terrorist attack targeting Muslims in Edinburgh, which reportedly began outside a mosque and led to a man roaming the streets armed with a knife, has understandably caused fear and alarm within the local Muslim community. A 36-year-old man has been arrested and the incident is now being investigated by counter-terrorism police.

Any attack motivated by hatred towards a community must be treated with the utmost seriousness. Muslims deserve the same protection, solidarity and public support afforded to any other community targeted by extremism and violence.

We should be hearing clear condemnation of anti-Muslim hatred, robust action from government and law enforcement, and a united message that racism and religious hatred have no place in our society.

Too often, however, incidents affecting Muslims fail to receive the same level of attention, outrage or political response. That disparity raises serious questions about how anti-Muslim hatred is understood, reported and addressed.

We must ensure that all forms of terrorism, racism and extremism are confronted consistently, regardless of who the victims are.

I expect a Cobra meeting, solidarity with Muslims and condemnation of the racist rhetoric against Muslims.

But in reality most will ignore this attack, politicians and the media will blame Muslims for it and life will go on.

This is two tier old policing in action.

Check the replies from the racists if you want to better understand the levels of sociopathy and degeneracy that our politicians have enabled by pandering to mentally ill ethno-nationalists and racists.

That pandering needs to ended immediately.
