I was shocked. Then I cried.

We took The Joshie-Man to Saudi Arabia to meet non-speaking autistic families, and this is a moment I will carry with me forever.

This is Inaya.

She is 13 years old from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The Joshie-Man’s secret is out… 😂

Everyone sees him as the last one left on the dance floor.

What you don’t see is the training.

Hotel rooms.
Corridors.
Kitchens.
Car parks.

And somehow… he’s always the last one to leave the dance floor. 💃

🌍 Where should TJM visit next?

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

Britain has been taught to fear Muslims.

But over the last nine months, Josh and I have visited mosques across the UK and around the world.

We found the opposite.

Welcome. Kindness. Cake. Humanity.

Even as the intimidation campaign worsens, Cake Not Hate continues. ❤️

The Joshie-Man’s second visit to 10 Downing Street…

Everyone asked the same thing…

“Did you meet Larry the Cat?” 🐈‍⬛

Yes! Josh has now met Larry on both visits.

And yes, he’s a lovely little cat.

The Joshie-Man is changing lives around the world.

In Mexico, he hand-delivered talking devices to non-speaking children, giving them the same chance that transformed his own life.

A device can become a voice.

Non-speaking does not mean non-thinking.

Something is happening that extremists do not like.

Christians are walking into mosques.

Muslims are walking into churches and cathedrals.

TJM is helping people cross thresholds.

The people inside these buildings are not enemies.

They are neighbours.

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

TJM stopped the Imam’s speech for a hug.

That tells you everything.

He felt safe.
He felt welcome.
He felt happy.

So when people claim he’s being dragged into mosques, watch the videos.

He’s usually ahead of me, often running to the minbar.

After 8 months away every weekend, The Joshie-Man has officially won his first Olympic gold medal. 🥇

Not running.
Not swimming.
Not gymnastics.

Hotel breakfast. 😂

Elite toast management.
World-class hash brown skills.

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

The Joshie-Man walked into a church alongside Muslim brothers and sisters. He read his name in the Book of Joshua, then shared his cakes.

This post will get a fraction of the hate our mosque visits do.

Maybe that says something.

Do you stand with us today? 💪

Leaving the UK was the right thing to do.

After months of online hate and real-life threats, we needed a reset.

Bosnia gave us exactly that.

The city of Bihać treated TJ M like a prince. His verdict?

“Bosnia… favourite.” ❤️🇧🇦

Always let the child lead the communication.

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

SHOCKING ADMISSION:
People said a boy was being dragged into a mosque.

They were right.

The person doing the dragging was The Joshie-Man.

A new friend met him at the door. Joshie took him by the hand, led him in, and reminded him to take his shoes off.

Kindness. That’s all.❤️

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

“Die over there.”

That is what we were told.

Extremists told us to leave the UK. Now some say not to come back.

Bosnia gave us space to breathe away from the hostility.

Should we listen to them, or keep taking The Joshie-Man’s campaign global?

#CakeNotHate

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

The police wait for us in every city TJM visits.

A 12-year-old, non-speaking autistic boy visits mosques with cake and a message of unity, yet support is already in place before we arrive.

What kind of world is that?

Should we keep going, or should we stop? 🧁❤️

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

Only a year ago, TJM was not able to do this.

For the last eight months we’ve been away almost every weekend,
Now he collects the room key, finds the lift, presses the right button, remembers the floor, and proudly leads our family to the hotel room.

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

Extremists keep telling us: “If you like Muslims so much, leave the UK.”

So we listened.

Bosnia gave us exactly the reset we needed: warmth, dignity, community and a reminder that the world is bigger than hate.

Where should The Joshie-Man visit next?

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

Well, these are comments I didn’t expect to read on Father’s day

Maybe the hate is getting louder because Cake Not Hate is working.

From one child and one family to support across the country and around the world, people are proving kindness is stronger than hate.

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

On Father’s Day, TJM won’t have any words for me. He won’t say “Happy Father’s Day.” But he has never been silent. He speaks in hands reaching, foreheads touching, glances and trust. Love doesn’t need words to be real. Please wish him a Happy Reverse-Father’s Day. 💙

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

📌 How I’m feeling today 📌

Grateful, moved and still slightly overwhelmed that Cake Not Hate continues to receive support from people in Parliament who understand the power of kindness.

TJM helps remind us that inclusion, compassion and hope still matter.

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

The Joshie-Man now walks into restaurants like he owns the kitchen 😂

Grilled meat. Fried chicken. Found popcorn chicken in the freezer and put it in the fryer.

Then celebrated with the head chef and helped clear up.

Where in the UK should he cook next?

[Thejoshieman @thejoshieman]

Continued senior support in UK parliament for TJM.

@OliverRyanUK has joined senior Parliamentarians, including MPs, Lords and Baronesses, supporting The Joshie-Man and Cake Not Hate.

Kindness is travelling from a kitchen table to Parliament.

Where should TJM visit next?
