An #explosion rocked a concert hall in the Moscow region & several #gunmen opened fire on theatergoers Fri evening, acc/to Russian authorities & videos from the scene, a deadly attack >1 week after #Putin was re-elected.
The attack on Fri in #Moscow, like a Jan assault in #Iran claimed by the grp, could prompt a reassessment of its ability to strike outside its home territory.
In addition to a public warning on Mar 7 about a possible attack, #US ofcls had privately told Russian ofcls about #intelligence pointing to an impending #attack.
#CW - vid has graphic images of injuries on #African#Muslim students. The police didn't help stop the violent attacks.
More than a dozen men have attacked #InternationalStudents who were performing #Ramadan prayers at their #Gujarat University accommodation. Police say they are investigating.
@RealJournalism I, too, hope it doesn't come down to that but how many people will pull a "#Vietnam draft dodge" and flee to #Canada or other countries rather than take a stand. I keep thinking about the #Muslim#activist in #MI who says even if #trump wins, the #Constitution will protect her. Good luck with that!
Join us in recognizing the start of #Ramadan, a sacred month of prayer, reflection, and community, observed by Muslims around the globe.
Back in 2000, WQED Pittsburgh offered a glimpse into the Hassan family's journey through Ramadan, while featuring insights from Kadir Gunduz, Director of the Islamic Center of Oakland.
"India has implemented a controversial citizenship law that has been widely criticized for excluding Muslims, a minority community whose concerns have heightened under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government."
AP reports: "Critics argue that the law is further evidence that Modi’s government is trying to reshape the country into a Hindu state and marginalize its 200 million Muslims."
It's just been revealed that #Labour MP for #Coventry South Zarah Sultana, is the most abused & threatened MP in the commons, receiving 68% more abuse & threats compared to the next MP.
However, she's an #Asian#Muslim & a vocal critic of the #UK's #Tory government's response to the #Israeli#turkey shoot in #Gaza, hence the huge increase in threats & abuse she's received since.
After 12 hours of silence, #Sunak said it was racist, but he's apologised so we should all move on. 😳
Today marks the beginning of Ramadan for Muslims. Our Muslim friends have had a rough go in America because of Xenophobia. So please give them some love.
I spent time learning more about their journey by meeting with some folks at a Mosque in our neighborhood. I brought them oranges and told them they had a friend.
Continuing this train of thought, however, this leaves only dire outcomes for the #Israelis and the #Palestinians:
If no #Muslim country will grant them refuge for political reasons, a lot of the #Gazan#refugees will die on that border wall...
#PeteButtigieg, #POTUS Joe Biden's transpo secy…vowed Wed that #Biden is taking no #vote for granted & will continue to reach out to #Arab & #Muslim voters in #Michigan.
"The president is determined to do everything that he can to safeguard #civilian life in any part of the #MiddleEast, certainly in #Gaza, as well as in Israel. That commitment will continue,” Buttigieg said.
I am hearing that on his deathbed Toby Keith received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

This is so ridiculous that proves that almost everyone sharing this have never talked to a Muslim or seen a Muslim pray or even asked a Muslim about it before sharing it.
Wearing shoes and glasses when praying is just so ridiculously stupid that only an idiot would believe its authentic.
#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.
