A Sikh family has run an Indian restaurant in London for 16 years.
Their "crime"? The sign says: no halal.
They serve jhatka meat, as their own faith allows. The owner says that brought months of threats, fake reviews and eggs at the windows.
This week a crowd, some of them masked, gathered outside demanding the restaurant close. The Met had to put a line of officers at the door.
You don't have to like the owner. You don't have to agree with what he posts online.
But in Britain, nobody gets to shut down a business because its menu offends their religion.
We abolished blasphemy laws in 2008. We are not bringing them back through a mob.
This is not an Islamic country.
Should a restaurant in Britain be free to choose its own menu? Yes or no 👇
I'm proud to lead 256 bipartisan cosponsors in a resolution to designate July as Indian American Heritage Month.
Generations of Indian Americans have helped build and strengthen our country. It's time we honor their contributions and celebrate their enduring legacy.

Police in a Chicago suburb announced that they had thwarted a potential mass shooting, arresting a 19-year-old man who they said may have planned to target a Hindu place of worship. https://t.co/piThxqG6YS
I dont get it.
Even in your world, your own politicians scammed you. They pit Indian workers against you, to keep wages low in your economy.
The H1B is an American scam, not an Indian scam. Your politicians, the same guys who engaged in pedophilia on the island, who go to war 10 times a year with random nations, the same politicians who cannot decide if they want to resist Russia-China or kowtow to them, created the H1B program, that you so dearly hate, to negotiate you out of your own labour market.
And you hate Indians?? For legitimately trying to find employment and live a life in another country?
The fact that a large part of Americans remain so (obviously) programmable, year after year, by manufactured political battles and now botfarms is astounding to me.
5 years ago it was trans toilet. 2 years ago it was the jews. Today its indians. Like clockwork.
Americans are trying to fill a god shaped hole in their heart with politics, and they just dont see it.
Imagine being a grown man, approaching a car containing a mother and her young daughter, and telling the child:
“You’re brown. Your mum’s brown. And you stink. Get some deodorant.”
What possesses someone to behave like this?
Today, at President Trump’s direction, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is immediately issuing a temporary general license to allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market.
2002: Ilhan Omar marries husband one in a mosque. They have two kids in that marriage. They "split" in 2008.
2009: she legally marries husband two in a Christian church. No mosque would do it because apparently the muslim community knew him as her brother.
While married to him, she has her third child with husband one and files joint tax returns with husband one in 2014 and 2015.
A former friend says she told the community she needed papers so her brother could go to school.
2017: she divorces the husband/brother and remarries husband one a month later.
Sounds like fraud to me. #kalshipartner
Stabbed. On the floor. Plane going down. Still got up and forced the cockpit door open while he was being beaten.
“I couldn’t let everybody else die.”
That’s a man who decided 174 people were not dying on his watch. Captain Smit Machchhar is a hero.
HERO PILOT: FlyDubai Capt. Smit Machchhar breaks silence on the mid-flight stabbing that nearly killed him, revealing he dragged himself across the cockpit floor while being beaten to open the door that saved everyone on board.
Machchhar told Indian Prime Minister Modi he could feel the aircraft plunging as he lay wounded and bleeding. With 17 years of flying experience, he knew exactly what was happening — the plane had dropped over 14,000 feet in 30 seconds. He told himself, "This is the last push Smit, do it, the door is right there."
After he forced the cockpit door open, Israeli passengers rushed in, incapacitated the copilot, and stabilized the aircraft. Netanyahu told Fox News the pilot was stabbed in the head and his arm was "basically split in two." Machchhar is now recovering in a UAE hospital and says he is confident he will make a full recovery.

This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.
EXTENDED INTERVIEW: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with @TonyDokoupil about Wednesday's incident aboard a FlyDubai flight to Israel where the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the pilot and tried to crash the plane. https://t.co/onHO7bZE9Z
This may be the most incredible detail of the entire story.
Reuters has reported that the pilot who was stabbed aboard FlyDubai Flight FZ 1073 manually released the lock on the cockpit door while he was lying on the floor.
That pilot’
On Fox News:
Journalist explains how the Indian pilot Smit Machchhar saved the Fly Dubai flight bound for Israel.
"The pilot, he was such a hero..he was fighting the co-pilot who was stabbing him. He managed to open the door"
I never, ever, want to hear another slur against Indians or Indian Americans after the heroic actions of Captain Smit Machchhar of FlyDubai flight FZ1073, who fought off his Omani copilot in an alleged terrorist attack, had the presence of mind to alert air traffic control that he was under attack, and opened the cockpit door before collapsing, so passengers could storm the cockpit, subdue his attacker, and regain control of the aircraft.
I wonder if the Trump Administration, @SaraGonzalesTX, @savsays, and the whole list of Indian haters will give credit where credit is due.
At 35,000 feet, there is nowhere to run. No backup. No second chances. Just seconds between survival and catastrophe.
When terror tried to bring down an aircraft carrying 180 innocent souls, ordinary men refused to let evil win:
• Captain Smit Machchhar took the brunt of the violence, fighting off the attacker with raw willpower to break open the cockpit door.
• Asaf Redjuan charged straight into danger without hesitation to neutralize the threat.
• Tzvika Mans, a father protecting everyone on board, pinned the attacker down and bound him tight with a cable.
• Yaniv Hayon seized control of the cockpit amid sheer chaos, keeping the aircraft stable in the sky.
• Dr. Shota Musaev went straight to work under pure adrenaline, staunching the captain’s massive blood loss and keeping him alive.
No capes. No Hollywood script. Just five men, bound by duty and courage, who stood as a living wall between 180 passengers and total disaster.
They all went home safe.
