Important point from Richard on an eg of how racialisation remains so embedded and central to the extremism industry
Important point from Richard on an eg of how racialisation remains so embedded and central to the extremism industry
If you’re using isocs as an indicator of Muslim students’ supposed political apathy, then that’s your first mistake right there.
I was listening to Gilles Kepel yesterday at some Policy Exchange event (lol) and he was talking about the forced closing of anti-Islamophobia organisations in France. In his own words: "sometimes, repression works". And it was almost surprising to hear the quiet part out loud.

In the following, I post the links to a series of often heart wrenching interviews I conducted on Radio @OarFM Dunedin with Nasouh al-Saadoni, a Palestinian journalist who once worked for the Palestinian national TV station. Part 1 on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mus…
This is supremely audacious
For anyone watching #Defiance on @Channel4 by @RoganProduction @RajeshThind, here’s a 🧵of some context to understand the groups and events mentioned in more detail and what life was like for Brown and Black people in the 1960s-1980s. 1/24
It’s been over a week since #Defiance hit our screens. It provides a very cursory glance at what happened & did not go into the granular detail about any of the incidents covered. I was struck by the first episode & most of the points I am about to make are in reference to that.
“Prison is a denial of one’s humanity; the most brutal institution ever invented by mankind because it deprives humans of their freedom, while God created them free… Prison is also an opportunity for contemplation, writing, and reading…” #FreeGhannouchi
“After a decade of democracy in which Tunisians enjoyed unprecedented levels of freedom, we had hopes that the era of arbitrary detentions and political trials was behind us.” @yusraghkh on the anniversary of the arrest of her father, Rached Ghannouchi: dawnmena.org/my-father-refu…
Really great piece from @nadeinewrites Increasingly, we are seeing innocuous expressions of Muslim identity being viewed as extreme or anti-British, and the upholding of Michaela’s ban reinforces the idea that …we need to sacrifice certain things in the name of Britishness.

So pleased to see this important piece out from the brilliant @JasmineKGani and @RabeaMKhan - do read!

I watched the first episode of #defiance and can say it gives an excellent treatment of the realities of racism and resistance in the 70s and 80s. A brilliant resource for educators. Understanding our past is vital to appreciating how we are where we are today.

“Did you have curry? I can smell it.” For a TEACHER to point that out to you tears you apart.” This interview broke my heart, especially when she recalled feeling so proud of herself when she knew some of the questions and put her hand up - but she never got picked #Defiance
“The Asian community up and down the country was under siege. It was about time we did something for ourselves. In the face of racist violence and injustice we fought back.” This is OUR story. Please watch #Defiance Fighting the Far Right 9pm on Channel 4
After not touring for seven years, I put together 'Culture War,' a rough hour of new material that I performed over a week in London. Here's the video I used to start the show each night. I'll be releasing clips and outtakes soon. Not a full comedy album - more like a mixtape of…

.@QMUL is happy to put Nadera's prolific scholarship forward for the REF and benefit from it, but won't condemn her being detained and tortured.
Hey @QMUL that's quite a lot of engaged thinkers and citizens thinking the arrest of our Global Professor is outrageous and deeply worrying. Perhaps you could revisit last week's refusal to condemn and, belatedly, do the right thing?
I honestly do not know what to do anymore; I’ve even paid £11 for premium just to DM someone from @amnesty. But no one from the London office has been responsive or accessible to discuss my grievances on the systemic discrimination in the Tunis office. Amnesty clearly doesn’t…
It remains without exception that every single one of these “free speech” outfits are nothing more than apologists for imperialism and racism
🧵"Can an organization that sees itself as above politics, that sees itself straightforwardly as a support system for an open society, be allowed to exist anymore?" asks @galbeckerman in @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
If you are a male, on public transport, & you see women being harassed by another male, (drinking) (tatted up with st George imagery) STEP IN. DISTRACT HIM. DO SOMETHING. Don't be an idiot bystander who offers a platitude of are you ok when it's finally over an hour later. FFS.
Cornell West is Hazem Salah Abu Ismail and Jill Stein is Ikhwan 🙈 If you know, you know.
Conservative party MPs and voters turning to Labour is not the victory it may appear If the Tories turn even further right, as it seems they will, and Labour becomes the main rightwing party, there is little left to counter years of mainstreaming of far right politics

I’ve long wanted to travel along the great Silk Road, and recently got to see its historic heart in Uzbekistan. Shah-i-Zinda, Samarkand
I keep seeing this claim that 7th October 2023 was another “radicalising moment in this country, similar to what happened on 9/11 or 7/7” (see Robin Simcox in @NewStatesman) I think it’s important to challenge this as unfounded, a misreading of the War on Terror, and dangerous.
Simcox’s language and the idea that 7th October was some kind of “radicalising moment” is racist dog whistling. It’s designed to keep focus on Muslims, minorities and the left as a security threat to society - whilst the UK govt continues to supply weapons to war criminals.
We organised. Despite the attacks. Despite the suppression. Despite PREVENT. Despite little support. Despite being under investigations. Despite events being cancelled. Despite our speakers being rejected. Despite the government. Despite Uni management. And we'll continue.
We organised as Muslim students and student leaders under brutal opposition between 2009-2017, with very little support, with a targeted government onslaught against us, and now armchair activists are telling us students are too tame…
Do you know how many reports have been written about Muslim students in the UK? How their activism has been subject to critique and blacklists? Please stop and support your students whatever capacity.

Living in a Muslim country is interesting because you’re not having to assert your identity, it’s an accepted part of you. And so your efforts are forced inward into the finer qualities of being. Though I realised this in theory before I got here, in practice it’s something else
