I see we're doing "no other minority" again, rather than pointing out how both Muslim and Jewish communities in the UK find their places of worship targeted by violent racists.
"Judaism is the only faith that routinely requires security at its place of worship in this country." Times columnist @SebastianEPayne says government reaction to Thursday's synagogue attack in Manchester isn't getting to "the moral issue". https://t.co/VVy9CQcFuQ 📺 Sky 501

@AyoCaesar Why is it racist? A hate crime based on religion sure, but racist? Do we call arson attacks on churches racist too? You’re falling back into the trap…

@secretlifeofnug Antisemitism is a form of racism - it plays out differently at this place and point in history, but it's still a form of racism.

@AyoCaesar & the vast majority of the time, attacks on both Jews and Muslims come from our shared enemy, the Nazi far right. The co-option of the recent shul attack rests in the political value of division- ie. the press does not cover the regular desecration of Jewish graves by Nazis.

@AyoCaesar Just last week: https://t.co/uiXQiVbZyZ
UK Sikh groups are calling for the Labour Government to do more to support Gurdwara security. Currently, mosques and synagogues are able to receive funding which is not open to Gurdwaras. This year @khalsajatha has spent £40,000 on security. British Sikhs are being asked to...

@AyoCaesar This is so tiring. Muslims are not seen as equal humans to the British elite class and it is sickening

@AyoCaesar I have noticed that Jews always need people to stand with them, but this is rarely ever reciprocated. This behavior is most fascinating to observe 🤔

@AyoCaesar @mehdirhasan It’s more annoying when American white men pretend Muslims are the ones terrorizing the public with their guns

@AyoCaesar @harriepw Both do find themselves under attack, tho attacks on Mosques are more frequent and treated much less serious than attacks on Synagogues as we have seen this week. One treated as terrorism and the other as just a hate crime

@AyoCaesar Ash it's important to show the dates on these stories to highlight how recent they are.

@AyoCaesar #NotAll - maybe free hugs are the answer? Maybe the Jews and Muslims can join hands and sing Kumbaya - or even better.. Don't Look Back In Anger.

@AyoCaesar Attempted arson at a mosque is a despicable act. It has no place in our society just like burning churches or the attack and the synagogue on Thursday I have a genuine question though, do any other minorities or religions need security for their kids birthday parties in the UK?

@AyoCaesar Even Jewish primary schools need ridiculous amounts of security. No equivalence to any other faith. Being a ‘journalist’ you should know this? You’d think a media outlet that celebrated the rape and murder of innocent Jews on the 7th October might stfu on this one.

@AyoCaesar @bestcanton7 ALL promote division, violence & hate…. They are also in contradiction to modern western values and based on nonsense. Maybe we should ban ALL of them!

@AyoCaesar Calls for the Tory conference to be cancelled as a mark of respect for the Muslim community have gone unheeded.

@AyoCaesar No. They're the only faith that routinely gets security. Everybody else has to make do.

@AyoCaesar The worst example of crimes committed by violent rapists are the Muslim grooming gangs who have carried out their sickening abuse of c.100,000 mainly white girls. This is THE worst example of racism in the last 30 years.
