Agreed, #Islamophobia doesn’t happen in a vacuum. #OurLondonFamily 💔 ✊🏽

@declanwalsh No one uplifted Malala's critique of Obama's drone warfare against Afghanistan & Pakistan. Y'all just use brown women for wars against brown folk; you don't want to listen when we stand against imperialism. How about US violence the US sends to Palestinian, Afghan, Iraqi women?

Please share!

🧵🧵🧵 POC have been left reeling from the gaslighting and historical revisionism in #SewellReport. Our lived experiences of institutional racism is being denied, and our reality questioned. White people, it's time to use your power and privilege to push back ⬇️⬇️⬇️

So, the free speech tsar will require me to tolerate transphobic, racist and misogynistic speakers while not challenging govt injunction to not teach critical race theory or use anti-capitalist resources? Almost as if it’s nothing to do with free speech at all...

@BBCWomansHour @ZaraM01 Please can you explain why you used @Emmabarnett's aggressive and ill-informed interrogation of @ZaraM01 🧕 as the promotional clip? Why did you feel that particular section would garner the most views? 🤔

Last week we posted a clip from an interview with Zara Mohammed @ZaraM01 Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain. In retrospect, the clip should have included more of the radio interview to provide full context of the discussion. We have now removed the original tweet.

@ApartFromTheObv @BBCWomansHour @Emmabarnett @ZaraM01 @BBCSounds I completely agree. Where and with what evidence did @Emmabarnett critique Islamic ideology? Yes, she drew false equivalency with other religions. I heard @BBCWomansHour badger a WoC. I didn’t hear the knowledge required to offer incisive critique of Islamic ideology @ZaraM01

@rtnmanchester @BBCWomansHour @Emmabarnett @ZaraM01 @BBCSounds It is not anti-Muslim to critique Islam. Anti-Muslim is bigotry towards people. Critique of Islam is criticism of an ideology. Ideologies are always up for criticism.

@BBCWomansHour @Emmabarnett @ZaraM01 @BBCSounds How many Muslim women hosts have there been on your programme? Or do you only care about representation when you can use it as a tool to reconfirm your entrenched and hostile position? @BBCWomansHour (yes, but which women?)

@BBCWomansHour @Emmabarnett @ZaraM01 @BBCSounds “Feminism” that insists Muslim women adhere preconceived Islamophobic ideas. Endlessly pursuing a myth that patriarchy is the exclusive preserve of the Muslim other. Sad but predictable. This was about reconfirming an anti-Muslim outlook (again). Do better @BBCWomansHour

Motivation and ambition 💪🏽, but we still have hurdles to overcome!

Proud to have @DrDeborahJump as a colleague. Fantastic research grounded in reality of life that has supported us in improving our services to young people. Well worth checking out @AssnYOTmanagers @_YJB @GM_VRU @Peer_PowerUK @PositiveSteps 👏👌🙌
