Please listen to renowned Jewish scholar, Professor Avi Shlaim, explain why Zionism is a racist ideology: https://lnkd.in/e5FENdnY Zionism requires ethnic cleansing &/or apartheid in order to create “Jewish sovereignty” on land full of indigenous people who are not Jewish. “Jewish sovereignty” means Jewish supremacy, not equal rights for ALL. And the only reason they can even claim to have a democracy in 1948 Israel is because they ethnically cleansed it of most Muslim & Christian Palestinians to create a Jewish majority. That’s where most of the people in Gaza came from. And they’ve been continuously ethnically cleansing the West Bank since 1967. And Israel’s Nation State law even says sovereignty in Israel is EXCLUSIVELY for Jewish people (born Jewish), & the charter of Israel’s current & longest ruling party, Likud, defines Israel as between the river & the sea. But there are 7M non-Jews that also live there (~50% of population) — don’t they deserve sovereignty too? Zionists don’t think so because they run Israel & Israel’s laws & policies are racist. The root cause of this horrible conflict is that Israeli Zionists actually believe they own every Palestinian home & inch of land, & have the right to kill indigenous Palestinian families that refuse to leave, for the crime of not being Jewish. Please listen to renowned Jewish-American Prof. Noam Chomsky explain how ridiculous the Zionist ownership claim is: lnkd.in/gtHPPHUz Palestinians have been there for thousands of years, never left, & their genetics proves it. At some point, their Canaanite & Jewish ancestors simply converted to Christianity &/or Islam. So why would that mean Jewish immigrants from Europe & the U.S., who have never even been there, own all of their homes & property? What would you do if someone stole or demolished your house & livelihood, killed some of your family, & left the rest of you with nothing to live in the squalor of a refugee camp? That’s what Israel did to over 750K Palestinians in 1948, over 300K in 1967, over 250K since 1967, & MORE EVERY YEAR. Most of the families in Gaza once owned homes & farms where Israeli cities & towns now stand, which Israel literally stole from them. Most even still have their front door keys. And now Israel is doing it to them FOR THE 2ND TIME. Jewish-Israeli source: Prof. Ilan Pappé, Historian: lnkd.in/gFBK6sPB And Even the ex-head of Israel’s Mossad (their CIA) said “There is an apartheid state here. In a territory where two people are judged under two legal systems, that is an apartheid state.” lnkd.in/gF_2dqvM. I also cried for the 38 Israeli kids killed on Oct 7th, but this horrible conflict did NOT start on that day. The proof is the nearly 2300 Palestinian kids killed by Israeli soldiers & settlers between 2000 & Oct 2023, including 43 kids during the 9 months just before 10/7 (details on BTselem.org). Jill Stein for President! 🕊️❤️

Feels like we are living in a dystopian nightmare. The Zionist-controlled media in the US is now running a full-scale psychological warfare operation, manipulating public perception. They brainwash citizens into believing the terrorists are always Muslim, wearing keffiyehs, and embodying the very stereotypes they’ve spent decades manufacturing. Take Jennie Taer: an Israeli spy granted free rein to walk into the alleged New Orleans bomber’s house without scrutiny. Her affiliations? PRAGERFORCE (IDF Unit 8200), AIPAC, and Chabad Lubavitch -- a Mossad-linked organization tied to global trafficking rings through entities like Boston Consulting Group, and the Clinton Foundation These connections reveal a sinister web of espionage, propaganda, and exploitation operating in the shadows while Americans are fed lies. This propaganda machine fuels Islamophobia, distracts from the real perpetrators, and ensures Americans remain complicit in wars built on lies. It’s not just media bias... it’s a deliberate weapon of war, erasing truth and humanity in the process. See video in the comments. Have a nice day 🙇

The Far-Right, Terrorism and Islam. The Muslim community have for decades and Decades and DECADES Faced the brunt of NEGATIVE labelling because of the actions of a few. This agenda has and is pushed by many western political leaders and mainstream media. To the point that the word terrorism and terrorist has become synonymous with Islam and Muslims for many. Islamophobia- hatred towards Muslims, has and is widespread because our political leaders have pushed their poisonous rhetoric from the top down. People rioting on the streets have chosen our community as the scapegoat for their frustrations. Today we see actual terrorists- white, English men, women, teenagers terrorising UK citizens. They are NOT thugs Keir Starmer. Language matters. They are terrorists. They have not spared: 👉🏼Muslims 👉🏼Brown or Black people 👉🏼White people Even Police officers. The videos emerging from the riots and behaviour demonstrated by these terrorists is comparable to animals that have been unleashed, actually savages that have no regard for human life. Since October 7th, Pro-Palestine protests have taken place in many of the streets across the UK. Yet, we have heard time and time and time again them being labelled as “hate marches”. We have seen brute force being used on peaceful protestors. The Pro-Palestinian Protests are INCOMPARABLE to what we are seeing on the streets of the UK by the far-right. Their behaviour is rooted in extremism, hate and ignorance. It is inciting terror in many people spanning all races and ethnicities in the UK. The British values are: 👉🏼Democracy 👉🏼Rule of Law 👉🏼Respect and Tolerance 👉🏼Individual Liberty These people do not stand for a single British value.   Do they think they will help make Britain great again? I think not. It is in these times where unity really has to be the connecting force. #islamophobia #notohate

I was a young man, new to Islam, and uncertain of my place in the world. 30 years later, I lead and advise Muslim communities, but the journey wasn’t easy. Faith isn’t just about belief; it’s the most powerful tool we have for personal development and community transformation. When I embraced Islam, I found myself questioning everything. How could I live up to the teachings of this beautiful religion? But faith guided me. It gave me purpose, resilience, and a sense of belonging. I began to study Hadeeth, Tazkeeyah, and 'Aqeedah, immersing myself in the rich traditions of our faith. With time, I realized that faith is not static. It’s dynamic, always evolving, and shaping our lives. It taught me that personal development is not just about achieving personal goals. It’s about aligning our lives with our beliefs and values. And this alignment can lead to profound personal and communal transformation. As directors of Islamic centers and mosques, you have a unique opportunity to harness this power. By fostering a strong sense of faith within your communities, you can help individuals achieve their full potential. You can create environments where people feel valued, supported, and inspired. Faith is a journey, not a destination. And on this journey, we have the power to transform not just ourselves, but also the communities we live in. Have you ever felt the transformative power of faith? Share your stories. Let’s inspire each other.

Data shows Muslims are going to take over... Not quite...   But Muslims are going to become a big influence...   That's for sure.   For the first time ever, the Muslim community has united and is acting as one at the ballot box (www.themuslimvote.co.uk). #TheMuslimVote   I’m excited to share a new dashboard I’ve created that delves into the potential impact of the Muslim vote in this election. The dashboard is divided into three sections:   Muslim Vote - Identifies high Muslim demographic areas, focusing on regions where the Muslim population is substantial enough to have a significant electoral impact.   Muslim Sway - Highlights constituencies where the Muslim population could potentially sway the election outcome if they voted as a block supporting one party.   Muslim Growth - Shows constituencies with significant Muslim population growth based on Census UK data from 2011 and 2021.   Key insights from the dashboard: - 104 constituencies have a Muslim population of more than 10%, with 84 of those traditionally favouring the Labour Party. - 142 constituencies where the Muslim population outnumbers the majority (difference between the top two parties). - 44% growth in the number of Muslims from 2011 to 2021.   The influence of the Muslim vote in this election cannot be underestimated.   This data-driven approach highlights the potential power of a united community at the ballot box.   #Election2024 #PowerBI #GeneralElection2024 #BallotBox #Labour #Conservatives #Constituency #MuslimVote #Politics #DashboardInsights

AI is not the only factor defining the future of work. With Gen Z predicted to make up 27% of the workforce in OECD countries by 2025, they will also play an important role in driving the shift towards working environments that prioritise development and empathy. What's causing this? As more Gen Z employees enter the workforce, catering to their needs is becoming more important. Their unique life experiences have given them different perspectives on the employer-employee relationship and what to expect from their workplace. What does this mean for you? Listening to and taking the time to understand the needs of this generation of workers will allow employers to meet them more easily. This will help them attract talent and carry them smoothly into the new age of working. Among Gen Z's priorities are psychological safety and development opportunities, making these a good place to start. For younger employees, you can help usher in this new era by creating a dialogue with employers and co-workers. Sharing and listening to everyone's perspectives will make the transition easier and make you a valuable asset to your team. Zooming out: Initially, this shift in expectations will be fairly gradual. However, it will gain speed as a greater proportion of Gen Z enter the workforce and again when they begin to move into more senior positions. The sooner we begin to adapt, the easier it will be to take advantage. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dBJ6ACKs #FutureOfWork #GenZ #Wellbeing #Leadership

The racist attacks by fascists & Nazis on Black & Brown people, Muslim [or perceived], & racialised persons happening right now in the UK should be seen as an indication of where the rest of continental Europe is heading to. When fascists who openly proclaim 'whitening Europe again' are emboldened & mainstreamed, this is the result. European politicians have too often accommodated these fascists, equally pedaling their falsehoods and subtly legitimizing extremist white supremacist ideas. White supremacy remains white supremacy, even when disguised as “fighting irregular migration.” No matter how it’s dressed up, when politicians talk about irregular migration, they are referring to Black and Brown people, not white people. In the same way, European voters on the left & in the centre are equally culpable. The 'left' who vote for supposedly 'leftist' parties despite evidence in the last decades that these parties are nothing but leftist. Those in the centre who vote for 'centrist' parties who are nothing if not right & extreme-right. Yes, you are equally responsible for emboldening & the reemergence of fascism! Reemergence because Europe has never [even remotely] tried to rid its society of white supremacism. Rather these ideologies were repackaged into notions like 'the European way of life' or 'Frenchness' in the case of France. Previously, I argued that what Europe faces today is an identity crisis. That is to say, "Europe was built & continues to thrive on an idea of racial superiority. Unable to come to terms with its past....Europe refuses to rethink or reimagine what it means to be European. It is this crisis of identity...denialism of the perpetuation of racist structures in all institutions of European life that is behind...attempts to stop people who do not fit Europe's imagination of itself from crossing its borders [or continuing to live within its borders]. The discourse & approach to migration is simply a manifestation of Europe's schizophrenic relationship with race & racism". So, when you European 'leftists', 'liberals' & 'centrists' continue to vote for the status quo, remember that the status quo systematically & continuously devalues, dehumanizes & marginalizes non-white lives. Yet, the fascists are telling you in no uncertain terms: "your status quo is unacceptable to us. We want them dead & gone. We want a white Europe". You have two choices: 1. Reevaluate yourselves critically & take a principled stance against fascism by challenging the status quo & reimagining what it means to be human [forget European] 2. Continue to pretend the status quo protects non-white lives even as your politicians pander to emboldened fascists. The violence in the UK and much worse is the likely outcome. So, stop feigning shock! All those tweets on social media "how is this possible?" Excuse me? Look in the mirror. This is not a clash of civilizations; it is a battle for who deserves the dignity of being human.

Do you know what one of the biggest MISTAKES I see established Muslim #professionals/ #entrepreneurs making? Focus on the wrong areas.... Most of the time it's excessive attention to work. Listen, I get it that there are definitely phases of our life where work takes precedence... Even my own teachers advised really knuckling down in one's 20s and 30s to establish oneself professionally. But that doesn't mean there are not phases within our 20s, 30s and 40s where we can balance our career with family.... Or Deen... Or health... Because, it's unacceptable to work so hard that you neglect even studying your fard al-'ayn... Or work so long that you miss out on the best years of your kids' lives... those beautiful innocent early years which shape their whole future and will never come back... Or work so long and hard that you fail to establish a loving marriage where you enhance each other's effectiveness, support each other's dreams and become a dynamic team where 1+1 = 10... You see, whatever you focus on grows. As Tony Robbins says, 'Where attention goes, energy flows.' And that's why you are successful in your profession, or your business. You've put in so much time, energy and focus. MashaAllah, nothing wrong with that. But how much focus have you put into your marriage, your children, your Deen, your self? Have you invested in yourself, your family and Allah? Or is it all into your career? Even lay investors know that the best portfolios are diversified, and so we must diversify our focus from time to time to make sure critical areas of our life get the attention they deserve. Your focus is a superpower... Wherever you place it, things magically start to happen. #focus #priority #worklifebalance #islamictimemanagement #mistakes #muslim

In the North West during December for example, Muslim prayer times align closely with the typical 9-5 working day, especially with the shorter winter days. Here’s an example of specific timings: Fajr (dawn prayer): Begins around 6:15 AM and can be prayed until just before sunrise at approximately 8:00 AM. Dhuhr (midday prayer): Around 12:00 PM. Asr (afternoon prayer): Approximately 2:30 PM. Maghrib (sunset prayer): Around 3:55 PM. Isha (night prayer): Approximately 4:55 PM. For Muslim professionals, this means Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib often overlap with work hours, making it important to have flexibility to step away for 5 minutes to pray. Winter also allows a later timeframe to complete Fajr, up until sunrise, making early mornings less rushed. Workplaces like offices or the NHS can support this by providing a quiet space for prayer. It’s a small gesture that has a huge impact, showing respect for religious practices and fostering inclusivity. This understanding creates a better environment for everyone, demonstrating that diversity is embraced not just in words, but in action. A little accommodation goes a long way in helping Muslim colleagues feel valued and supported during the winter months.

Earlier this week I posted about the skill of listening. I was watching a video with the always-on-point Simon Sinek, and he mentioned "𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵: 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘺,” a documentary by Deeyah Khan. I watched it, and it blew my mind. Being a Muslim woman in the UK, filmaker Deeyah Khan was being harassed by white supremacists. So what did she do? She went to the US to meet and interview far-right extremists. Her goal was to listen—to understand where their hatred was coming from. But more than that, she wanted to give them a chance to feel heard. Through the safe space she offered them, people who openly expressed their hatred towards her began to feel heard. And because they felt heard, they started to trust her. Trust led to friendship, which in turn led them to question their supremacist views (“I’m supposed to hate you, but you’re my friend”). It's a powerful documentary that shows the transformative power of listening—Extreme listening, as some describe Deeyah's actions. If this kind of reconciliation can happen in such an extreme environment, then it can happen with "Uncle Bob," as Deeyah says in another interview. It can happen across the political spectrum. And it can certainly happen in the workplace, whether it’s disagreements with colleagues, managers, or team members. Amazingly, only one party needs to master this skill. For these reasons, I consider listening the number one skill for anyone who works with others (don't we all?), specially in teams, and specially for managers and leaders. The next time you find yourself in a challenging conversation, whether it’s at work, with family, or even in a heated debate, remember this: true listening is not about agreeing or winning; it’s about understanding. When we genuinely listen, we create the possibility for connection, empathy, and even transformation—no matter how wide the divide might seem. Listening is more than just a skill; it’s a tool for change. The question is: are we willing to use it? #Listening #Leadership #Communication #LeadershipDevelopment #Empathy

Any doubts that Islam is taking over the World ? - The Mayors of London , Birmingham, Leeds , Blackburn , Sheffield, Oxford , Luton , Oldham , Rochdale , Camden are all Muslims.  All this was achieved by only 4 million Muslims out of 66 million ( 6% ) people in England. A lot of room for growth - Today there are over 3,000 mosques in England. - There are over 130 sharia courts. - There are more than 50 Sharia Councils. - 78 percent of Muslim women do not work, receive state support + free accommodation. - 63 percent of Muslims do not work, receive state support + free housing. - State-supported Muslim families with an average of 6 to 8 children receive free accommodation. - Now every school in the UK is required to teach lessons about Islam. Is anyone surprised ?

https://lnkd.in/gYdcwTcH Do we really want to import this into Australia? I generally have a problem with religions I find it difficult to believe in imaginary almighty invisible beings. Abrahamic religions are inherently violent & Islam in particular is intolerant, violent & is spread by the sword. The import of refugees into Australia from Palestine is fraught with danger. Why has the Arab World has rejected them because they have historically caused disruption, unrest & tried to assassinate or overthrow the leadership of the country that Dave them solace & refugees. look at Putin's strategy of assisting Assad & the flood of refugees into Europe. The long term aim was the destabilisation of Europe, so they'll be distracted while Putin Annexed the various satellite USSR States back into the new Russian Empire.

The Islamophobia, racism, anti-migrant hatred and violence that has been witnessed on the streets in recent days is utterly shocking. It must be condemned in the strongest possible terms and has no place in UK society. To our Muslim, Black and Brown colleagues, friends, and communities we want you to know that we see you and we stand with you. Leap’s priority has been ensuring that both our participants and staff are safe and as a result we are rescheduling some of our delivery this week and will continue to assess the situation as it develops.     The underlying factors that create the conditions that encourage such hatreds to fester have been allowed to build over years, with social media platforms being used to amplify and spread this hatred. Even when the violence stops, the fact that these views are so readily expressed is deeply concerning for us all, and points to deep fractures in our communities and wider society.   Leap Confronting Conflict’s work is deeply rooted in restorative community peacebuilding theories and practice. This is demonstrated every day in our programmes and training, where Leap practitioners model respectful and resilient relationships across difference underpinned by anti-racist and anti-discriminatory practice. An approach that invites people to be curious, empathetic and to step into the life experiences of others, to understand each other’s lived experiences better, and to challenge their own and others’ stereotypes and prejudices.    The current situation makes it even more urgent that young people are equipped from an early age with these essential conflict navigation skills and the confidence to use them.     We are also aware that alongside the scenes of violence another story is being told. Of local people coming together to clean up their streets, to repair and restore the damage, to stand with those who have been directly targeted, to offer comfort, reassurance and support. People in communities across the UK have been demonstrating that we have more in common than that which divides us. We stand with these everyday peacemakers, in solidarity and peace.    Many organisations are providing support and resources to those affected at this time.

Crunch the numbers and it pays to work in data! A great article in the Business section of The Times by Jane Hamilton that I was privileged to contribute to.  Well worth a read in today’s edition (Friday 29th Nov).
