“The general election was a microcosm of how Muslims in general are spoken of as if they are not in the room, not part of the country, and not seriously impacted by how they are constantly othered and their behaviour pathologised.” @nesrinemalik.bsky.social

“In public and political discourse during the recent general election there has been something of a frenzy around the mobilisation of Muslim voters, in particular their focus on the plausibility of genocide in Gaza and our government's role in its continuation.” @drkelshayyal.bsky.social
