The @JewishChron corrected Stephen Pollard's article by removing a paragraph and clarifying that @cfmmuk doesn’t attack #Muslim characters who are gay, drink, or don’t wear hijab—but challenges reductive portrayals of Muslim life. Commentators should read the evidence, not

The man who is quoted wasn't a "masked Muslim" in Birmingham, he just happens to be a local man who agreed to speak with Sky News. Once more GB News staff choose to focus on Muslims and question their loyalty, despite them being the primary victims of the racist riots of last.
Interesting in this piece how the masked muslim men in Birmingham who surrounded Becky Johnson last year refer to ‘the English’ as foreigners. Being muslim is their primary identity. They don’t feel an attachment to England. They talk of Pakistan as “home”. Integration failure.

Hey @Channel4News and @mattfrei. Why did you not mention to your viewers that Baroness Beech is a patron of the UK Lawyers for Israel?. Surely this is relevant given the topic being discussed?.

We spoke to crossbench peer, Baroness Deech, and former Supreme Court Justice, Lord Sumption, about recognising a Palestinian state.

After our complaint the @BBCNews makes a small addition to the article it published yesterday to notify readers that a signatory to a letter sent to the Government is a patron of the UK Lawyers for Israel. The letter said that a Palestinian state could breach international law

Seems as if GBNews and others attempted to fuel a story about veterans being evicted to make room for migrants in #Bolton. That narrative is false as reported in the @TheBoltonNews. Well done @jdpoc for calling this out.
You might have seen the story on GBNEWS, pushed by Reform, that “veterans are being evicted to make room for migrants” in Bolton. The story is a lie. From start to finish.

Is the BBC actually biased on Gaza? The short answer is yes. Following a report accusing the BBC of systematic bias against Palestinians, a spokesperson said: “We welcome scrutiny and reflect on all feedback. We will continue to give careful thought to how we report the

6/7 The phrase Allahu Akbar simply means “God is greatest” — a sacred, everyday part of Muslim life. When media link it to violence, especially without clarifying the suspect isn’t Muslim, they fuel harmful myths and Islamophobia. See here:

5/7 To be clear #AllahuAkbar was shouted and it is fair enough to report this in the article or broadcast. We are calling for:. Responsible journalism. No more weaponised headlines. Basic clarity: name the suspect, don’t just inflame fears. Follow up the original reporting to.

4/7 This is how media bakes Islamophobia into its coverage:. By turning Arabic into a trigger and skipping basic facts like the suspect’s background. Abhay Nayak is not a Muslim name. No article confirmed he was Muslim. So why is the phrase "Allahu Akbar" doing all the heavy

3/7 "Allahu Akbar" means "God is greater" in Arabic. Muslims say it in prayer, celebration, and everyday life. When a likely non-Muslim man says it during a violent act, it still seems to heighten media interest despite the man shouting many other slogans such as anti-Trump.
