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.

A 92 yo woman scales the gate of a nursing home in China. I think she earned her freedom. 😊

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson says we can't have "double standards" with the international rule of law. She compares the criticism of Putin invading Ukraine with the U.S. and Israel's strike on Iran, which she says very few countries have spoken explicitly about it.

Warmest wishes to Muslims who are marking the end of Ramadan across the UK and around the world. May your Eid‑al‑Fitr be joyful and full of peace. Eid Mubarak.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating in London and around the world. This Ramadan, I’ve had the privilege of breaking bread with Londoners of all backgrounds.
