One minute our government is calling the situation in Gaza “terrible” and vowing to recognise a sovereign Palestinian state -
And the next they invite the president of the genocidal state of Israel for official meetings?

Nationalism is the biggest poison to have infiltrated the Muslim world.
It was nationalism, the imported idea from Western empires, that we have to blame for the self-hating thinking that we have in Muslim countries.
Nationalism is an entirely un Islamic ideal.

I recently wrote this article for @5Pillarsuk
It’s just one story out of millions revealing the plight of Uyghur’s.
China doesn’t release its genocidal grip even after they die
Thanks to @AbduwelA for being so vocal about this, a lot of what I wrote came from him.

Since 2017, I’ve heard nothing from my mother.
Today, I found out she died — no goodbye, no last words.
My two daughters, both Turkish citizens, are still missing.
China’s oppression stole my family.
How long will the world stay silent?

Wow, this is a big development.
I recently wrote about the Sarajevo Haggadah, a Sephardic Jewish manuscript from the 1350s and its entire history in Bosnia, from WW2 to the dissolution of Yugoslavia.

The beautiful campus of the International University of Sarajevo.
I was privileged enough to attend a summer programme on Islam in the Balkans by @cnsba
Had the privilege to listen to lectures by the likes of:
Dr Ahmet Alibašić
Dr Hikmet Karčić
Harun Karčić
‘From Belgrade to Jerusalem: How Balkan Nationalism Laid the Blueprint for Zionism’
A fascinating connection between Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, and Serbia.

Since May 27, over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while trying to access food.
Think about that for a second.
They’re already starving. Children are severely malnourished. Hunger-related deaths will only increase.
They’re even killed whilst trying to get food.
