Yet these 'hate marches' are permitted to continue. Fellow Muslims, our places of worship never have their doors locked, remain vigilant, and do not engage with these thugs

If you’re not Muslim or visibly from an immigrant background, stand by those folks who are. It’s going to be ordinary people coming together to reject the Far Right that puts this spectre of racism & fascism back in its box. Only love can conquer hate. Stand together, stand tall.

We need BBC News (UK), Sky News and ITV News to stop calling violent, organised, extremist rioters 'protestors'. Stop legitimising hate crime. RT if you agree.

Language is everything. They are RIOTS

A riot is not a protest. A racist is not an activist. A thug is not a patriot. Far right extremism is precisely that. Words matter. Why are some in the media refusing to use them accurately?

Is this not the unlawful use of violence and intimidation driven by political aims? Planned attacks on places of worship & law enforcement? We need to ensure that the far-right aren’t given a free pass. This is TERRORISM, by definition & action. Inspired by preachers of hate.

The race riots of 2024. Context and language matter.

The enemy of the working class wear business suits, not thobes or hijabs. The enemy of the working class travel by private jet, not dinghy. The enemy of the working class are found in parliament, not Mosques. And the enemy of the working class fund the rags that say otherwise.

A final update from Leicestershire Police on today's protests. Thanks go out to everyone involved in maintaining peace in our city.

People often ask, what is privilege, when discussed in terms of race and equity. People struggle to understand it. Privilege - is knowing you can travel around Britain at the moment, without fear of being attacked. So many friends having to cancel holidays, change plans. Sad!

When I was in Hull I worked closely with a Muslim women refugee charity. Yesterday they were targeted in their accommodation. The founder said windows were smashed. Bricks, glass bottles thrown. Racist chants heard. Today they’re too scared to leave their rooms

My timeline is very depressing at the moment & I cannot fathom the events in England right now. It is heartbreaking. So I am just reminding myself these wise words

After the violence caused by the far-right this past week across the UK, it's clear that marginalised communities in this country need our support. We must not remain silent in the face of Islamophobia and racism. Please sign the petition by HOPE not hate to urge MPs to

Hi everyone, Unfortunately it appears that there are plans today at 5pm for a far right ‘meet up’ in Bordesley Green/Small Heath/Alum Rock area near Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham. The police and trust exec are aware. Stay safe scary time 😔😔😔

Some people don't like the word 'Islamophobic'. I'm trying to think of another word that describes 'attacking a mosque' or 'attacking people because they "look Muslim".'

There is a racist demo being planned outside the McDonalds near Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham at 5pm today. We have been contacted University Hospitals Birmingham who have told us that they are liaising with police & are putting a plan in place. We are pushing for this to be communicated asap.

Birmingham GP closing early because rioters are said to be passing through the area today. Like our NHS isn’t backlogged and GP appointments aren’t already impossible to get. I’ve heard chatter about universities emailing students in affected areas too.

I received this message from a Mum shopping with her 1 year old baby today in the West Mids. She immediately went home. No one deserves to feel terrified or experience racism in their homes, towns, cities. I’ve had countless messages like this esp from Muslim/South Asian women

I'll be on a panel Baby Lifeline 💙's #National #Maternity #Safety #Conference for a discussion on listening to & advocating for women. Join us! 🔗babylifeline.org.uk/conference-2024 🗓️ 26 Sept 2024 📍Birmingham #MatSafety2024 #SaferBirths #BRIDGE4WomensHealth #EpiSafe #MuMPreDiCT #KatiesTeam

Thank you for challenging this British Islamic Medical Association. We see these attacks for what they are - racist and Islamophobic. Islamophobia has no place in our society and it's important to call it out.
