Demographic change happening in real time. Muslims of Kashmir are barred from praying Jumma and Eid Prayers because Jamia Masjid has been shut down since 2019 but Hindus from Kolkata can dance in Lal Chowk!
Lal Chowk in #Srinagar witnesses #Dussehra celebrations. Participants from Kolkata and other parts of the country celebrated with colours, music and dance.

Encounter injustice rears its ugly head again. The fact that CM Punjab has to resort to extra judicial actions shows that they have no grip over law and order. Utter failure of the PMLN who have ruled this province for much of the past 40 years.
The suspect who ran over an orphaned child in Multan has been killed in an encounter, according to the CCD District Officer.

For three years, Britain's political class made clear that genocide was not a red line. Now they're making clear that opposition to genocide is a red line.
I am ruling out our party entering into a national partnership with any party that is committed to a dangerous and antisemitic policy like the Green Party’s. Here is my letter to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies of British Jews 👇

The most popular myth about the Palestine question is the Zionists "accepted" partition. The accepted partition the same way they accept ceasefires today. They say they accept in public ... but plan to and then violate every single aspect of the agreement. As for partition plan, 0 Zionist political parties accepted the partition of Palestine. As one historian put it, "none of the Zionist parties gave up the aspiration to restore one day the unity of the country ... "The left parties, too, were adamant in their insistence on a unified state. Only five days after the UN resolution was adopted, Ahdut Haavodah, which was committed to the indivisibility of the Jewish state as an absolute historical and spiritual imperative, repudiated the view that “partition is the best or shortest way of realizing greater Zionism.” To be a Zionist means to believe lies are facts. source: books.google.com.mx/books/ab… p.33

One issue is that in south Asian communities, in general doing Hajj is left to the last minute, it is seen as something u do when ur middle aged or at deaths door. While to perform and truly benefit from Hajj is a young man and woman’s game.
My mother’s Alzheimers was so bad she kept snatching off her hijab in the Masjid Al Haram She had become a five year old In her mind even speaking with a squeaky childlike voice sometimes She even reported me to the religious police that I was her kidnapper Everyone was kind

The insurgency was countered because Pakistan clamped down on Kashmiri groups’ logistical support in Azad Kashmir as a peace gesture to India. India took advantage of that but refused to normalise relations with Pakistan. U are so full of self-hatred and bias, it’s unbelievable.
India has completely eradicated insurgency from occupied Kashmir; a coordinated, honest, & consistent approach has delivered results. They successfully ended Khalistani separatism in Punjab. They have subdued even Naxalites to a greater extent. Lessons can be learned.

Can anyone remember the last time @BBCNews interviewed a Palestinian about their experience of the racism of Zionism? Having spent the last two weeks interviewing elderly Nakba survivors in Jordan, driven off their land in their teens because of their ethnicity and religion, I'd be happy to suggest some astonishingly articulate victims of Israeli racism who would be only too happy to tell their tragic stories of eviction, slaughter and dispossession. It is like reporting on the Civil Rights movement in the US and only interviewing outraged Whites @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson @JustinOnWeb @BBCr4today
“[Saying] ‘Zionism is racism’ is offensive, it’s antisemitic and it’s dangerous” Broadcaster Jo Coburn says she “watched in horror” as the Green Party passed its motion on Zionism and criticises leader Zack Polanski's defence in his #BBCLauraK interview bbc.co.uk/news/live/c64gv8k2…

⚠️ Muslim woman attacked in Crawley, West Sussex On 5th October, a Muslim woman in Niqab was physically attacked in Crawley, West Sussex. Statement from the victim: "An assault that took place in Crawley, West Sussex, involving myself, a Muslim woman who wears the niqab. I had been attending an appointment and was walking into Crawley Town to purchase some items I needed for the weekend. As I walked along the road to make my way home an individual approached me from behind and pushed me with such force towards a busy road that my face smashed into the bus stop structure or a nearby lamp post. As a result of this attack, I sustained a cut and a black eye, a cut to my chin, and bruising to my back, leg and strain. Unfortunately, I did not see the perpetrator's face. All I saw was someone running away from the scene. What made the experience even more distressing was that nobody who was around asked whether I was okay or offered any assistance. I spent the remainder of my journey home wiping blood from my face, having been left to deal with the aftermath of this attack alone. This incident is particularly concerning in the context of the repeated verbal abuse and intimidation I experience in Crawley as a woman who wears the niqab. I have been told to “go back to my own country”, called a “ninja”, "A P**i", intimidated by people with dogs, shouted at by people from their car windows, and had rubbish thrown at me. This usually is by white youth and middle aged white men. It has been ongoing for 3 years. These repeated experiences have left me deeply concerned for my safety when simply going about my daily life. I cannot say with certainty who carried out this assault or what their motive was. However, given the repeated Islamophobic and anti-Muslim abuse I have experienced, I believe it is important that this incident is taken seriously by other Muslim women within Crawley and that they stay vigilant."

You know why electricity is off 4 hours a day? Foreign plot, deep state funding. Why there is cow shit on the roads, broken footpaths, missing traffic lights, rabid street dogs, dug up roads? Why trains are filled to brim, why 1000s die every year in road accidents involving cows, why NEET papers are leaked? All is a foreign plot, deep state funding to destabilize Modi Govt. 😭😭😭😭😭 Because entire world is jealous of how Modi Ji has transformed India by building 10 crores sandas (toilets) Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

No criticism on u, but our families attitudes make our children too soft. Remember, our children are not our own, but God’s temporary gift to us. Our Shehzada is just like millions of other Shehzadas born to other women. He or she is not special in the grander scheme of things.
My youngest left for umrah with his wife tonight. This is his first international trip. He'll be on his own with no mama to take care of him and no baba to sort things out. This is so hard 🥺 Mera shahzada, head of his own little family

On 10 December 1947, the Egyptian newspaper 'Akhir Sa'a reported that the Jews of Lebanon had contributed 10,000 Egyptian pounds & the Jews of Iraq had contributed 500,000 pounds for the Arab cause. Meaning, Arab Jews in Lebanon and Iraq funded & armed the Palestinian Arab militias in Palestine against the Zionist movement. “We have great admiration for these Iraqi and Lebanese Jews," the newspaper reported. Is anyone familiar with any other corroborating sources on this? source: books.google.com.mx/books/ab… p.506

Zionism has so thoroughly infiltrated Judaism that Rabbi Dov Lior says it is permissible to violate one of the 10 commandments so long as the victims of the theft are Palestinians. No Jewish American politician will ever be asked to condemn ... only Muslims are required to do that
New 'halakhic ruling' from Rabbi Dov Lior: Israelis are permitted to steal property of Palestinians. Lets talk about radical religions now.

BREAKING: Israeli spyware is confirmed on our phones. This should be headline news but none of our mainstream media is covering it, of course. So we will. An Israeli ad company called Discover-Tech used ordinary online ads to plant spyware on people’s devices, and nobody had to click anything. The ad just had to load on a website or inside an app for you to be infected. Citizen Lab and the ad security firm Confiant published the findings yesterday. Researchers went through roughly 4 billion ad-bidding records and found Discover-Tech ads running on more than 120,000 websites and 70,000 apps between March and June of this year. Confiant says the company was serving at least 10 million ads a day. The platform was called Controlium. According to Citizen Lab, it let spyware companies use ad auctions to profile and unmask users, then send an infected ad to the one person they wanted to hack. The ads were also pulling cookies and login tokens from the sites they ran on. Israeli corporate records list Dekel Boni as the company’s founding director and sole shareholder. The main spyware customer was Candiru, the Israeli firm the U.S. government blacklisted in 2021, which now goes by Integrity Labs. Five years after that blacklisting, it was still reaching devices through ad inventory on Google, Comcast-owned Beeswax and Russia’s Yandex. Google had Discover-Tech on its approved vendor list from 2020 until this week. At least 45 Al Jazeera devices were targeted in 2024 and 2025. Candiru’s 2021 shareholder filings reportedly listed a minority investor described as a proxy for Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, and Qatar also funds Al Jazeera. If that holds up, Qatari state money was sitting inside the company whose spyware was later aimed at Qatar’s own news network. The heaviest targeting was in the Palestinian territories, where Discover-Tech served almost 2% of all digital ads and about 10% on April 7. Traffic also reached the Armenian prime minister’s office, courts, universities and defense organizations. Google and the other ad platforms cut Discover-Tech off after the report came out. What nobody has answered yet is who paid for the ad buys, and how a company working with a U.S.-blacklisted spyware vendor passed vendor review for six years. I am going to look into this today to see if we can figure out who was buying the ads. Interesting timing considering my article yesterday.... Here's what to do to protect yourself: (1) Use an ad blocker. Citizen Lab calls ad-blocking a cybersecurity best practice and says there is no consistently safe way to be exposed to targeted ads. On iPhone, add a Safari content blocker. On Android, use Brave or Firefox with uBlock Origin. Ad blockers only work in your browser, not inside apps, so it also helps to delete free ad-supported apps you don’t need. Kill your advertising ID. (2) iPhone: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and turn off “Allow Apps to Request to Track.” Then Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising, and turn Personalized Ads off. (2) Android 12 or later: Settings > Privacy > Ads > Delete Advertising ID. Then in Settings > Google > All Services > Privacy & security > Ads > Ads privacy, turn off Ad topics and Ad measurement. (3) Windows 11: Settings > Privacy & Security > General, and turn off personalized ads using your advertising ID. (4) Update your phone and restart it often. Many zero-click exploits don’t survive a reboot, so a daily restart forces attackers to reinfect you. Stay tuned!
