Keir Starmer ICC Prosecutor.

 The Times speculates that Keir Starmer may seek the role of ICC Prosecutor.

Whether that proves true or not, it sharpens what is at stake at the ASP on 24 July. This goes beyond Karim Khan to the future of the International Criminal Court. Can a Prosecutor who sought arrest warrants in relation to Palestine be forced from office despite a unanimous Judicial Panel finding that the evidence did not establish misconduct?

The decision taken by States Parties will say much about the independence of the Court, and whether international justice is applied equally, regardless of who stands accused.

So are muslims terrrorists?

 The most bombed countries

in the last 50 years are all Muslim. But somehow Muslims are the terrorists?...!!!

Keir Starmer is he the m an we trusted?

Remember when Keir Starmer said that Israel had the right to impose a complete siege on Gaza, cutting off water, food, fuel, and electricity?

A former human rights lawyer. He also called for "the return of the sausages". As Radio 4 works hard to remind us that Keir Starmer is a human being - just like you and I - remember what he was, and is, part of.

Why Prostrate?

A Christian friend of mine

sent me this picture of a footballer and asked, "Why do Muslim players do that every time they score a goal?

I called him on the phone to explain it, but I thought it would be wonderful to share the explanation with all of my friends here as well.

This specific act is known in Arabic as Sujud al-Shukr (the prostration of gratitude).

In this World Cup, you will observe that when Muslim players score a goal, some immediately run toward the corner flag to prostrate on the grass. Others join their teammates in celebration first, and once the hugs and cheers fade, they quietly drop to their knees to prostrate.

This celebration is not a modern innovation; it originates directly from the practice of Prophet Muhammad. 

Authentic historical records show that whenever the Prophet received joyful news or experienced a sudden victory, he would immediately fall into prostration to express his deepest gratitude to Allah. 

Today, this is an act that all Muslims are encouraged to practice in their daily lives whenever they receive good news or achieve a hard-fought success.

As a practicing Muslim, you perform exactly 34 prostrations every single day across the five mandatory daily prayers. That number increases if you choose to perform voluntary prayers.

However, there is a big difference between the daily prayers and the prostration of gratitude:

With the 5 daily prayers, you must perform ablution and you must face the Qiblah (the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, which is generally east from our part of the world).

For the Sujud al-Shukr,  because good news happens spontaneously, this prostration is done just once and is highly flexible. It can be performed immediately without ablution, and you do not necessarily have to face the Qiblah—which is very practical since one immediately spot the East after becoming happy..

Despite these differences, what is recited while the forehead touches the ground remains the same. 

One humbles himself by reciting:"Subhana Rabbiyal A'la"(Glory be to my Lord, the Most High).

This act has become incredibly popular among Muslim footballers. 

In recent history, the player who has done it most frequently is Mohamed Salah, not just when playing for Egypt, but regularly at the club level for Liverpool, which has helped popularize it globally.

Islam is a complete way of life. 

May Allah give us the understanding to practice it well. 

Aameen.

When will this End

Attacks against Muslims have become alarmingly common - in its severity, it’s devastation and the sustained impact to entire communities - as we wake up today nothing has changed.

In Edinburgh a knife wielding bare chested white 36yrs old man motivated by anti Muslim hatred went on a rampage, kicked down doors, stabbed innocent bystanders and hurled Islamophobic abuse saying he’s "protecting this country from f*****g Muslims”. It left five injured, of which several were from the Muslim community.

More than 24 hours later 👉🏽 ▪️Media is uncharacteristically quiet. No frenzy. Neither any public duty of awareness or outcry. ▪️Almost no one knows of what is a national emergency, or in parallel what another community experienced just weeks ago that became a national outcry. ▪️No MP’s or senior officials expressing rage or even hands to deck public solidarity statements. ▪️No urgent travel into community or city incident by any prominent leader. Not the PM, not the Foreign Secretary, no one. ▪️No COBRA meetings. ▪️No prompt response of increased community security, funding or extra power or laws much like parallel communities have. If there is no hierarchy in hate, race and religion then why do responses time and again tell a different reality? It’s something many of us speak about, bravely share our own stories, even spotlight others. We work hard to dismantle the system and correct the narrative. We too so vulnerably ask you not to hate. Yet we’re in exactly the same place, same severity and same oh well spot that sees zero interest in stopping this vicious cycle. Instead false harmful narratives are pushed daily by politicians and agitators inciting hatred and division. Strategically putting a target on the back of Muslims. Home Office and Tell MAMA data tells us this hasn’t happened in a vacuum and is what these rhetorics produce - The license of repeated hate and violence against an entire community as if it were justice, with no care in the world. Our Communities, including Muslim ones deserve to live, breath and be safe in an environment in which the law and leadership response is applied with the same urgency and stringency that is brought for any other community whom have been subjected to a alarming, threatening and horrific crime. The question remains, why still now after evidence, data and a clear repeated escalation of crimes against the Muslim community adequate and on par priority is not given with the urgency required? When will this vicious cycle end? We require a concerted action and a plan from our Prime Minister and Government (alongside organisations and community leaders) that sets out how he will protect Muslims and end this cycle. For now, I ask that we be there for each other. For our colleagues, our neighbours and friends. We’re the best we’ve got. We’ve got each other, and we’re going to make it count.

The Reality the Hard Truth

Cause and effect are the foundational laws of reality. Hezbollah and Hamas are the effect of Israeli tyranny, not the cause.

Just as the IRA, the South African anti-apartheid movement, the Suffragettes, and the Black civil rights movement (all labeled illegal or terrorist in their time) were the natural effects of oppression, today they are recognized as the heroic resistance movements that won the freedoms so many enjoy today. Historically and today, oppressors have always tried to start the clock only when the victims finally fight back, but the true fight must always be against the tyranny, never the oppressed.
