@MercifulMessage Reading 4:23 and wondering why cousins aren't mentioned. Our local Imam told us, "well, actually...". Then referred us to look up Ibn Ma'sud. Whose version was the "correct one". Short version: Uthman didn't like it, destroyed the originals, and rewrote it. NOBODY queries it.

Tell me you know nothing about Islam without telling me you know nothing about Islam

@MercifulMessage Well... A "kaffir" rejects the existence of God. It is NOT the "Ahl al-Kitāb" (Arabic: أهل الكتاب). How the heck you can get a simple test so wrong - then have the temerity to call yourself a Muslim - beggars belief. Read Surah Al-Baqarah 2:62. Dumbass.

A kaafir is someone who rejects the truth when presented with it Everyone who goes to hell, will only go there after the evidence has been provided to them and they reject it Pharoah was a kaafir, are you saying it’s cool to be like him, who rejected Moses? You are a kaafir

@im_PULSE Doubt that. Here's the fun bit. Allah commanded both Muslims and non Muslims to "correct" transgressions. If you are forbidden to criticise bad behaviour, how can you be a Muslim?

I am probably the only Muslim he has met in his life. We had a cordial conversation. I don't recall threatening to kill him. But this silly old giraffe has radicalised himself into such paranoia that he now thinks all of us are would-be murderers.

@MothinAli Piping a prayer through a speaker during a standard "stun then slaughter" system, not a problem. Rupert is behind the times on that. Having said that, there should be a choice. Because "halal" only means "permissible in Islam" - not okay for everyone else.

Your obsession with it is a racist dog-whistle, that's why no one takes you seriously. However this is the wrong Eid...

@RichardBurgon How did you ever get elected as an MP? The Gulf States have warned us since the seventies, Iran's Regime doesn't care about economics, trade, or peace. They want Israel gone, Sunni Islam gone, and a Shia version of Sharia worldwide. At any cost.

This is exactly the mission creep I warned the Prime Minister against in Parliament. Britain should not be dragged into Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran - a war that leaves the whole Middle East and all of us less safe We should be pressing for peace and de-escalation.

@ZackPolanski Those missile sites are firing rockets at our friends and allies. If your mum was being beaten up by a crackhead, you wouldn't ask for a debate in Parliament, you'd step up and kick off.

UK bases being used for US strikes on these Iranian missile sites is another worrying escalation. The US and Israel started this war and have killed countless civilians. The UK is actively supporting. MPs must be given a vote on our involvement.

@Heccles94 Let me get this straight. You think the UK would be against a regime that targets non combatants, resulting in all our bills going up? Who's your drug supplier? Methinks you need to find another one.

The people of the UK do not agree with this

@TheSkepticWiz The existential question that is answered in: The Law in Hearts: Romans 2:13-15: Those without the written law or Gospel are judged by the moral law God wrote on their hearts (conscience). Islam (Ahl al-Fatrah): Those who lived without receiving a message, are not punished.

Imagine missing salvation because you were born before the sequel dropped.

@sneako Maybe it's shut because Iran fired a rocket at it.

Al-Aqsa is closed on Eid for the first time since 1967 because Mossad planted 9/11 style bombs there. After the explosion they will blame it on Iran. It is not about freeing gays and prostitutes, this war is so jews can build the third temple and summon the Anti-Christ.

@daniellismore Because that minority consists of repeat offenders who think what they are doing is legal. So the 12% carry out 40% of the offences. Get rid of the 12%, and you reduce that crime by 40%. Simple math.

88% of sex offenders in the UK are White British. Why do reform only tweet about the brown ones? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☕️🫖🪆

@Mens_Corner__ And all the men developed ballsache and priapisms.

@GhorbaniiNiyak The whole point of the Police is to arrest people suspected of having committed a crime. How do you know he hadn't just nicked a policeman's helmet?

I find it hard to believe that the police in the UK are arresting these people. Are they genuinely prepared to confront Islamists, or is this just a one-time action?

@AllahGreatQuran Indeed. We love a challenge. The original narrations of Surah An-Nisa 4:23 forbade cousin marriage. Muhammad confirmed Ibn Ma'sud's version. After they died, Uthman burnt the originals - and his version removed the "cousin" reference. Discuss this in relation to Surah 6:115.

Islam is a religion for the most intelligent people.

@EssexPR To be fair, almost every Muslim caller into GB News / Talk / LBC (Nick Ferrari got schooled on this, yesterday) have pointed out this event would have been forbidden in any Muslim country. Because it's shirk AND riyaa (in other words, a lot of sinning, just to make a point).

A Muslim lady just interviewed on GB News accused Sadiq Khan of intentionally fanning division by ‘politicising Islam’ & is ‘trying to create this division’ She said ‘no moderate Muslim actually cares about public prayer’ Says that she is free to practice her religion without persecution in the UK.

@NJ_Timothy I wonder how many judges will skip the important bit - Section 6. Any decisions or rulings MUST be in line with existing Law. And it then (rather helpfully) lists them - w8th the added bonus of confirming this also applies in relation to Islam (bang goes THAT excuse...).

David Lammy says judges can adopt the Government’s “Islamophobia” definition. It’s supposed to be non-statutory. But it’s clearly going to change the way the law works. That’s why we will scrap it.

@NadiaWhittomeMP Another ill informed tweet. In Islam: Praying in a public space = SHIRK Praying for show = RIYAA Islam commands correction and pointing out "transgressions". The Definition (Section 6) supports this. This event was a "double transgression". Wrong place, and for show.

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. This is what happens when racism is normalised from the top: democratically elected representatives being told that we shouldn't be allowed to make decisions here at all, and even that we should leave the country. It’s a racist attack on our very democracy. Will Nick and his party condemn it?

@IndicSocietee @NJ_Timothy @KemiBadenoch It is forbidden for Muslims to pray in public spaces. Praying for show, is another sin (Riyaa). Islam also commands criticism / correction when it's not being followed properly. UK Law (and the Definition's Section 6) supports this. Why aren't you firing this back at Labour?

The British Politicians including the Prime Minister, rushing to attack and criticise @NJ_Timothy pressurising @KemiBadenoch, to suspend him, reveals a troubling trend and an entrenched intolerance for dissenting views especially on the contentious issue of Political Islam Perhaps they should listen to @nadhimzahawi who speaks plainly, without the crutch of political correctness, and refuses to draw false equivalences between exclusive street prayers and genuinely inclusive cultural celebrations. What we witnessed in Trafalgar Square is not some harmless expression but a visible assertion of street power, rightly identified as a projection of political Islam. Those who continue to provide this patronage in the garb of political correctness are causing irreparable damage to Britain and liberal democracy

@GBullstein @spectator @Otagon1 Yes and this goes to the heart of why the surrounding Muslim countries are hostile towards the Iranian Regime. The Quran requires criticism and correction. The IRGC forbids it. In contrast, UK Law (and Section 6 of the Definition of AMH) facilitates it!

@spectator @Otagon1

Would you rather live in a society where a man is free to criticise religious practices or one where such a man might be dragged to the public square to be damned and shamed as a blasphemer? For me it’s a no-brainer. It’s the former. I want the freedom to object, as scurrilously as I like, to every pious ritual and godly doctrine. We used to call it ‘freedom of thought’, and our ancestors gave their lives to gift us that most cherished of liberties. ✍️ Brendan O’Neill Article | spectator.com/article/nick-t…

@MatthewStadlen @GBNEWS But anyone following it, you accuse of being a bigot. A Cambridge alumnus should do his research, then acknowledge why many Muslims are backing Nick. Because whilst their religion REQUIRES people to call out transgressions, in many Muslim countries they're not allowed to.

@MatthewStadlen @danny__kruger Matthew... Your stance contradicts the Qu'ran, UK Law & the Definition Of AMH (Section 6 specifically). Praying in public spaces is Shirk. Praying for show is Riyaa. The Qu'ran commands critique and correction (see attached). S6 (last slide) confirms, UK Law facilitates this.

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.
