#Hamas supporters have been going crazy on internet forums since yesterday 🤯 over this video and photos: Funeral of Ahmed Abu Latif (26) a fighter of Battalion 8208.
It alludes to the reality that there are #Arab and #Muslim soldiers in the Israeli military #IDF who volunteer to fight for their country and their fellow citizens in defense of #terrorism and are actively involved in the current war to remove Hamas from rule in #Gaza.
The Senate Judiciary Committee just advanced the first #Muslim-American judicial candidate to the full Senate. It matters
Diversity is critical to the delivery of justice--lived experience informs how the laws are interpreted.
Juvaria Khan, a Muslim American who grew up in the shadow of 9/11, started The Appellate Project to increase the diversity within the appellate bar. You can listen to her journey and why she started the organization.
Last week, Kevin Deutsch from Coral Springs Talk copied from an article from a group the SPLC names an anti-#Muslim#hate group about an upcoming event.
The South #Florida#Muslims Federation was going to have a conference at a Coral Springs Marriott to discuss culturally informed mental health concerns and connect community.
After the article, the Marriott received significant threats and cancelled the event.
Roya Heshmati, a courageous Iranian woman, faced 74 lashes as punishment for not wearing a hijab. While enduring the flogging, she passionately chanted, "in the name of woman, in the name of life, the clothes of slavery are torn." This exemplifies true feminism, showcasing the resilience of women as a formidable force against the radical Islamic regime in Iran.
In India, Muslim women who dare to criticize Narendra Modi’s government routinely meet with vile sexual harassment. Far from just nasty words, it’s part of a culture of often violent attacks on minority women, defended by the far-right ruling party.
Have her visit a holocaust museum! - said 1,000 numbskull Jewish organzations.
"I said that #Jewish Americans, as the targets of rising #antisemitic hate, ‘are getting a taste of what it is like to be #Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.’ This phrasing was a terrible mistake, as it implies that until recently #Jews have been strangers to persecution, when the opposite is true,” she added."
A western diplomat I recently met in #Indonesia mentioned how frustrated he gets that actions by individual residents
in their country, like burning a Quran (terrible, but ones that, in a democracy government cannot stop), cause mass protests & huge headaches for them around the world, while the widespread destruction of Mosques, criminalizing #Islam & closing ancient #Muslim shrines by the #Chinese government gets a pass.
"#BorisJohnson, the disgraced former prime minister and incoming GB News host, has long attracted condemnation for his written works – from comments about “tank-topped bum boys” to comparing #Muslim women to “letterboxes” (Islamophobic incidents rose by 375 per cent in the week after that remark).
And now, the ex-MP has shown up at a march against #antisemitism in London on Sunday, when back in 2004 he published a book titled Seventy-Two Virgins in which #Jewish people are depicted as controlling the media and “fiddling” in an election."
"Susan Sarandon has been dropped by UTA after she made controversial comments at a pro-#Palestine rally in New York on Nov. 17, Variety has confirmed.
Sarandon said at the rally, “There are a lot of people afraid of being #Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a #Muslim in this country.”
T-minus 12 hours until we've gone full #Jews run #Hollywood on the left. 🫤
Hi there @SusanSarandon,
First, your backstory: At an #AntiIIsrael#protests in NYC, you just said, "There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being #Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”
Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a #Muslim in #America…
Great news - Susan Sarandon has been DROPPED by top #Hollywood agency UTA after her atrocious statement of #Jews finally “getting a taste of how it feels to be #Muslim in #America”.
Reading a book about the history of Catalunya and the first chapter is the period 1000-1400AD when the Crown of Aragon was expanding across the Mediterranean. It mentions the multiple instances of persecution and pogroms against Jews, the worst being in 1391 including in Valencia.
How about everyone just stops hating each other for a few hundred years.... lets try that?
At the first solidarity rally that I attended, within a few days of the Oct 7 massacre, many politicians and many faith leaders came together to mourn with the #Jewish community.
However, there were no representatives from the #Muslim community.
Several Australian Jewish leaders have written about how they have resigned from various interfaith initiatives as a result of this failure of empathy.
Therefore, it is heartening to read these two pieces by moderate Muslim authors.
I should also say that at every single rally/service that I have attended, the deaths of civilians in Gaza has been mentioned and mourned.
If your free #Jewish#birthright to #Israel tour & free holiday in #MiddleEast didn't allow you any access to #Gaza , #WestBank or #Muslim communities & you were totally OK with accepting the govt reasons for blocking access & you've never done your own research on why - beyond what #IDF & Israel govt tells you - you have accepted #indoctrination & OK staying blind while more #Palestinians are murdered, daily.
Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) and a group of #farright House #Republicans want to revoke visas issued to Palestinians.
Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) introduced legislation on Thursday to ban Palestinians from the United States in an echo of former President Donald #Trump’s infamous “#Muslim ban.”
