Very fortunate to have the @Guardian's long read do an in-depth look at my work on Islamophobia in sections of the British media.

Looking to see how these far-right Islamophobes find new angles to be stupid for the remainder of Zohran's term(s)
Here, apparently a Muslim Mayor isn't allowed to pray Eid prayers 🤷🏾♂️

I'm named in this letter.
I stand by every word.
Guess what? There is no such thing as Islamaphobia.
It's a made up word spouted out by educated idiots in Parliament who are scared of losing their seats.

Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.

🆕My latest column for The Nerve has dropped:
“Over 2000 British Citizens have served in the IDF during the Gaza War. Our Government Doesn't Want To Know’”
It’s time the U.K. Government fulfilled legal obligations & investigated.

Sometimes I wonder whether Eylon really can be this silly on topics he clearly doesn't understand 😂😂
In case helpful, @bradlander is talking about أحد in surah Ikhas (end of verse 1)

The Arabic for “one” is wahid.

You should hear me chant in Hebrew!
Surah Ikhlas speaks to the one-ness of God, and it’s what I offer when I visit a mosque. It’s comparable in important ways to the Shema, one of the central prayers in Jewish liturgy, which also declares that God is one. In fact, the Hebrew word for one, “Echad,” is the same as the Arabic word, “Achad.”
But here’s David Frum telling me to pipe down about it in a way that manages to be antisemitic and Islamophobic at the same time.
May 21
Frum is both out of his depth and lying about Muslims as usual. Lander beautifully recited Surah Ikhlas, one of the most famous chapters of the Quran which affirms the oneness of God. It says nothing about Christianity and is an affirmation of monotheism:

The San Diego press conference about the mosque attacked is horrifying. Police:
The security guard's "actions without a doubt.. deterred these two individuals from gaining access to the greater areas of the mosque where as many as 140 kids were within 15 feet of these suspects"

The bravery of a security guard who was shot dead along with two other worshippers at a San Diego mosque on Monday prevented the attack from being much worse, say police.
The guard was Amin Abdullah, a father of eight.

Tributes are pouring in for Amin Abdullah, the security guard killed while trying to stop gunmen entering the Islamic Centre of San Diego.
Authorities say the father of eight’s ‘heroic’ actions saved lives.

This act of Islamophobic violence is horrific.
I'm praying for the Muslim community in San Diego and across our nation. No one should fear their place of worship.

Horrified by the attack on the mosque in San Diego.
We live in times of deep political tension. Islamophobic hatred and violence are a reminder of the responsibility on all of us.
We need leadership that brings people together, and stands firmly against hatred in all its forms.
