Hate crime: just 22 mosques receive funding for security

Distrust of Prevent scheme among reasons cited for lack of uptake of government funding

Widespread distrust of the Home Office’s counter-extremism strategy by British Muslims has been cited as one of the obstacles to mosques using a government scheme to protect places of worship from hate crime, after figures showed just 22 received funding last year.

The £375,413 awarded to the mosques under the scheme is a tiny fraction of the £14m provided by a separate government fund for assisting the Jewish community. Applications by 24 mosques failed.

Ask Forgiveness from Your Lord for Your Sins Before the Time is Up

Prophet Adam disregarded one of Allah’s commands and as a punishment, he was expelled from Jannah (Paradise). Later, he asked for Allah’s forgiveness and was forgiven. How many sins do we commit day and night violating all types of Allah’s commands? Do we repent for all those violations and sins? Why do we then get […]

France city shuts down public pools after two women wear burkinis

Grenoble authorities said shutdown was requested by lifeguards at the pool

Despite the unprecedented heatwave sweeping across western Europe, lifeguards in Grenoble have shut down the city’s two municipal swimming pools, after Muslim women went swimming in burkinis.

The women went to the pools twice, at the initiative of the Alliance Citoyenne rights group, challenging a city ban on the full-body swimwear.

An Islamophobic security agenda shouldn't mix with arts funding | Naz Shah

Bradford literature festival speakers are right to withdraw in protest at Home Office funds. Muslims want meaningful engagement

  • Naz Shah is the MP for Bradford West

The last few days have seen a furore over the Bradford literature festival’s decision to accept funding from the Home Office. Some 12 speakers have pulled out of the event so far, in protest at the source of the money, the government’s “Building a Stronger Britain Together” fund, a scheme that supports projects that supposedly counter extremism. As a result of the row, reputational damage has been done to this award-winning festival.

Let’s be clear why this has happened: the government refuses to engage with Muslim communities in a meaningful way – unless it is under the auspices of counter- extremism or counter-terrorism. Why does funding offered to Muslim communities so often appear under this guise? We’ve also seen this in the form of the goverment’s terrible Prevent counter terror strategy, which is a toxic presence and is already under review.

Had this government cared, it would not continuously brush Tory Islamophobia under the carpet

Pakistan plays down accusations of Christian persecution

Foreign minister says there are ‘individual incidents’ that can be compared to UK knife crime

Pakistan’s foreign minister has sought to dismiss accusations of Christian persecution, claiming there were “individual incidents” comparable to knife crime in the UK.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi, speaking during a visit to Brussels, said reports of religious minorities being targeted in Pakistan did not constitute a trend and the recent claims of Christian persecution were an example of “western interests” that “want to paint Pakistan in a particular way”.

Nearly half of Tory members would not want Muslim PM – poll

Islamophobia survey finds just 8% believe it is a problem within the Conservative party

Nearly half of Conservative party members would prefer not to have a Muslim prime minister, a survey into the scale of Islamophobia in the party has suggested.

The poll, carried out by YouGov for the anti-racism group Hope Not Hate, also found that more than two-thirds of members believe the myth that parts of the UK are under Sharia law, and 45% think some areas are not safe for non-Muslims.

Home Office thwarted return home of Isis suspect Jihadi Jack

Jack Letts was disillusioned in Syria but his case officer was told to ‘back off’ by the government

British Islamic State fighter Jack Letts, whose parents were convicted of funding terrorism, wanted to return to the UK, but the Home Office pulled the plug on attempts to rehabilitate him.

The 23-year-old – known as “Jihadi Jack” – who joined Isis as a teenager, had discussed leaving Syria in 2016 with a counter-radicalisation expert until the UK government took him off the Letts case, the Observer has learned.

Six pull out of Bradford festival over counter-extremism funding

Writers and activists quit literature festival over funding by Home Office programme

Six writers and activists have pulled out of the Bradford literature festival (BLF) in protest after it emerged it received funding from a government counter-extremism programme.

The group withdrew from planned appearances after learning that the 10-day event, which was founded in 2014, has accepted money provided as part of the Home Office’s counter-extremism strategy for the first time.

Uighur author dies following detention in Chinese 're-education' camp

PEN America condemns death of Nurmuhammad Tohti, who had been held in a Xinjiang internment camp, as a grave example of China’s violations of free expression

The death of the prominent Uighur writer Nurmuhammad Tohti after being held in one of Xinjiang’s internment camps has been condemned as a tragic loss by human rights organisations.

Radio Free Asia reported that Tohti, who was 70, had been detained in one of the controversial “re-education” camps from November 2018 to March 2019. His granddaughter, Zorigul, who is based in Canada, said he had been denied treatment for diabetes and heart disease, and was only released once his medical condition meant he had become incapacitated. She wrote on a Facebook page for the Uighur exile community that she had only learned of his death 11 days after it happened because her family in Xinjiang had been frightened that making the information public would make them a target for detention.

'Disappointing and deluded': Imam lambasts Tory hopefuls on Islamophobia

Teacher Abdullah Patel singled out Boris Johnson, who forgot his name, and urged candidates to accept role in stoking hate speech

The imam who questioned Conservative leadership candidates about Islamophobia during Tuesday’s TV debate has called responses from the MPs “disappointing and deluded”.

Abdullah Patel, who is also deputy head of a primary school in Gloucester, asked a question via videolink from Bristol about the impact of Islamophobia, saying: “Do you accept words have consequences?”

Follow Me, Akhi by Hussein Kesvani review – how social media is changing liberal Islam

A thoughtful and witty account of how British Muslims interact with the online world

In 2014, as around 2 million Muslims gathered in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca to perform the hajj, Islam’s largest annual pilgrimage saw the launch of a new practice. Young and devout Muslims standing in front of the Great Mosque and other locations around Old Mecca began posting self-portraits to Twitter. The hashtag #HajjSelfie went viral within hours.

While most religious clerics adopted a diplomatic silence on the inevitable arrival of cameraphones during major religious gatherings, a handful of Muslim scholars spoke out. One Jeddah-based scholar said photography contravened the spirit of the hajj. “Taking such selfies and videos defy the wish of our Prophet,” he said, with sincerity. An Islamic Studies teacher said worshippers were ruining their prayers by “humble-bragging”.

In 2018, women used #MosqueMeToo to share stories of sexual assault and abuse in places of worship

Quebec law banning hijab at work creates ‘politics of fear', say critics

Civil liberties groups vow to challenge new law that bans public employees from wearing religious symbols

Civil liberties and Muslim groups have vowed to challenge a new law in the Canadian province of Quebec that bans some public sector employees from wearing religious symbols during work hours, arguing it triggered the “politics of fear”.

Critics said the long-expected Bill 21 that was passed by the predominately French-speaking province’s legislature on Sunday mainly targeted Muslim women who wear hijabs.

The EU's Islamophobia is getting worse – Britain must fight this from within | Yasmin Qureshi

The EU abets Aung San Suu Kyi and Viktor Orbán, while also failing to challenge China’s abuse of its Muslim populations

The European elections last month were widely seen as a test of the EU’s resilience. Many were relieved that far-right parties did not do as well as feared. However, nationalism is still on the rise across the continent, and the EU is not an innocent bystander.

A meeting of two Islamophobes earlier this month brought this home to me. That day, Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi met with her Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orbán. At the top of their agenda was the danger of “continuously growing Muslim populations”. No surprises there. While Aung San Suu Kyi is complicit in the genocidal “ethnic cleansing” of some 1.1 million Rohingya Muslim refugees into Bangladesh, Orbán spearheaded the abhorrent fiction that the Jewish philanthropist George Soros is funding the mass migration of Muslims to Europe.

I will quit if Boris Johnson becomes PM - Tory Muslim chairman

Mohammed Amin calls frontrunner a ‘buffoon’ and compares popularity to Hitler

The chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum has drawn a comparison between Adolf Hitler and Boris Johnson, saying “there are many horrible people who have been popular” and that he would quit the Tory party if the former foreign secretary was elected leader.

Mohammed Amin, a longtime party member, called leadership frontrunner Johnson a “buffoon” and criticised how he “mocked Muslim women who wear niqab and burka for his own purposes”.

"We don't expect our politicians, our prime ministers to be saints, but we do require a basic level of morality and integrity."

Lord Patel of Blackburn obituary

Businessman, Labour politician and pioneer in the field of community relations

Like so many other young men of his generation, Adam Patel left India in 1965 seeking business qualifications in the UK and headed for Blackburn, Lancashire, because of its long established connections with textile manufacturing in his home state of Gujarat.

He was encouraged by a temporary boom in the Lancashire textile industry, which meant that he could finance his studies at Blackburn College by working in a cotton mill, with the intention of returning home to practise accountancy. Instead he remained to become a leading businessman, a pioneer in the development of successful community relations and a hugely respected character in the political and commercial life of what became his adopted home town.

US envoy decries lack of response from Islamic world to China's attacks on Uighurs

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt have been silent in the face of the mass incarceration of Muslims in Xinjiang

The US envoy on religious liberty has said he is “disappointed” at the response of governments in the Islamic world to China’s mass incarceration of Uighur Muslims, suggesting they had been threatened by Beijing.

Sam Brownback, ambassador at large for international religious freedom, said some majority-Muslim states did not want to draw attention to their own human rights record. He was hopeful that the more Muslim populations around the world heard about the imprisonment of an estimated more than 1 million Uighurs, the more they will put pressure on their governments to speak out.

Washington urges Riyadh to end military crackdown in Sudan

As nations jostle for influence across Horn of Africa US diplomat David Hale urges Saudis to help end repression

The thorny question of Saudi Arabian political influence across the Middle East and Africa is back in the spotlight again with Washington taking the unusual step of effectively telling Riyadh to end Sudan’s military crackdown.

In an unusual public statement the US state department revealed that its undersecretary for political affairs, the diplomat David Hale, had phoned the Saudi deputy defence minister, Khaled bin Salman, to ask him to use the country’s influence to end the brutal repression against peaceful protesters by the Sudanese Transitional Military Council (TMC) in Sudan.

'Every day brings a new massacre': Eid offers no respite for Idlib

War-weary citizens mark end of Ramadan as Assad regime continues to bombard province

Sara Akhtib loves her new Eid outfit. It was made by her mother: a flowing gold and black dress embroidered with black flowers on the hem.

Like the rest of Syria’s rebel-held Idlib province, on Tuesday the 21-year-old student was celebrating the end of Ramadan. However, instead of visiting relatives, Akhtib, her parents and three younger brothers did not leave the basement below the family home. The Syrian president’s warplanes were still in the sky and it was too dangerous to go outside.

New MCU’s Superhero (Rocketman) Watch Online Free Video Rocketman Full Movie, Watch Rocketman full movie online in full HD quality anytime, anywhere only here.Yeah, I know, we’re not supposed to care that Brie Larson smiles, but I will choose to care that Larson smiles while cracking low-key jokes or otherwise wins laughs. I still maintain that a big reason why Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow became so popular is that she was both a “fierce” action hero.

So we get more outer-space adventure, more origin story material and more of what will make this 21st MCU movie different from the previous 20 MCU movies.

She is the one we did not see happen. Still, Brie Larson’s resume impresses. The actress has been playing on TV and movie sets since the age of 11. The one that some confuse with the Swedish Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider) won an Oscar in 2016. She is the star of the very first film Marvel with a female lead. And soon, she will play a CIA agent in a series commissioned by Apple for its future platform. Series that she co-produces.

Unknown to the general public in 2016, this “girl next door” won the Academy Award for best actress for her poignant performance in “Room”, the true story of a woman sequestered with her child by a predator. She had preceded on the charts Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lawrence, both already haloed of a statuette, but also Charlotte Rampling and Saoirse Ronan.

At the age of 26, at this Oscar night, where she appeared in a steamy blue-gauze dress, the auburn-haired actress gained access to the club of Hollywood’s hottest actresses.

With its classic and discreet beauty, this Californian from Sacramento has won the summit. She was seen in “21 Jump Street” with Channing Tatum, and in “Crazy Amy” by Judd Apatow. And against more prominent actresses such as Jennifer Lawrence, Gal Gadot or Scarlett Johansson, Brie Larson signed a seven-deal deal with Marvel.

Why she ? His long history with Disney can partly explain this choice, but also the fact that it does not embody an inaccessible perfection. A majority of girls can project themselves into their character of “Rocketman” who hears that she is not talented enough to succeed as men, before becoming the most powerful in the universe.

Rest a mystery. Brie Larson has spoken a lot as a key figure in the feminist Time’s Up movement. Strangely, as part of the promotion of “Rocketman”, she is reluctant to address this theme, which is nevertheless central in this blockbuster.

Certainly, in the genre, the distinguished competition has already passed by with his Wonder Woman of 2017, embodied by Gal Gadot. But it would be hard to see the Amazon warrior fighting in high heels, mini-skirt, strapless bustier and resting once again on a man to complete his mission, a female character leaving the beaten track and Hollywood rebutted. Moreover the scenario of this film was the work of three men …

Nothing like it with Watch Rocketman Online Free, signed mainly by women. And it feels. When she’s not in a full-featured combination of superhero, Carol Danvers walks Nirvana as an anti-erotic grungy as possible and proves fiercely independent. This is even the key to its power: if the super-heroine is so unique, we are told, it is thanks to her ability since childhood, despite masculine mockery, to stand up all alone. Too bad that it is not enough to make a film that stands completely … The fault of a scenario and a complicated realization flat as possible and uninspired.

No action sequence is really striking and actress Brie Larson fails to make her character endearing. Spending his time displaying a mocking pout and a mocking air, his perpetually brave attitude undermines empathy and prevents the spectator from shuddering at the dangers and vicissitudes that the heroine faces. Too bad, because the footage offers very good things in the person including a red cat and a Nick Fury young and with both eyes (the film takes place in the 1990s). In this regard, if the rejuvenation of Samuel Jackson by digital technology is impressive, the illusion is only for his face. As soon as the actor moves or starts an action sequence, the stiffness of his gestures is obvious and reminds his true age. A detail but that shows that the digital has fortunately still its limits. As for Goose, the cat, we will not say more about his role to not “reveal”.

Already the 21st film for the stable Marvel Cinema launched 10 years ago, And pending the sequel to Avengers: infinity war (Rocketman, released April 24 home), this new opus is a suitable aperitif but struggling to hold to the body and to be truly invigorating. Let’s hope that following the adventures of the most powerful hero Marvel manages to raise the level and proves more tasty.
