Although the majority of Arabs are Muslims, there are tens of millions of non-Muslims in the region. This diversity means that Arab countries should not define themselves as Islamic. Secularism is the solution. More in my book www.amazon.com/dp/B0HGVJ8WCF youtube.com/shorts/EcpQb... #Booksky

It seems accurate to say that Christianity is a middle eastern religion. One might argue that secularism is indigenous to Europe ;) In any case, sensible people agree that secularism is the humane, inclusive goal, wherever we reside. To date it's been the only way to protect all the believers.

Even fact checkers are not safe from Egypt's state insecurity. The entire team of fact-checking platform @matsadaash.bsky.social have been arrested and their whereabouts are currently unknown. Journalism is not a crime. These and other prisoners of conscience must be released.

While Macklemore has been cancelled in the United States for speaking out against the mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza, the deafening sound of silence surrounds another singer, David Draiman of Disturbed, who signed Israeli rockets destined to kill civilians in Gaza. The hypocrisy is staggering.

For a regime that fanatically persecutes people for contravening its interpretation of Islam, it is hypocritical that the Iranian regime is breaking Islamic traditions and its own laws by parading and putting on public display Ali Khamenei's body over four months after his death. #islam #iran

How have things changed over the past millennium? In the 11th century, it was the church which declared the crusade. In the 21st century, it is the Trump administration which is embarking on a self-declared crusade, while the pope opposes it. Talk about more Catholic than the pope. #pope #Trump

Iran's targeting of its neighbours is like the kid being bullied who lashes out against the weaker kids in the playground. Iran's belligerent behaviour will stir up even greater distrust of the Islamic republic and could spark a region-wide conflict if the Gulf states retaliate. #IranWar

Right-wing bigots are up in arms that Ramadan lights have been switched on in London. But why can't a minority share its festive joy with neighbours? It's not like they're forcing non-Muslims to fast or convert at the point of a sword. #Ramadan kareem to all, including bigots.

For there to be an invasion, you need an invading army. Immigrants to Europe and America possess no such force. For there to be colonisation, you need a colonising power that imposes an alien system. Immigrants to Europe and America possess no such power and live by local laws.

Four years on, the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine shows no signs of ending or retreating. Meanwhile, ordinary Ukrainians, who are experiencing an extremely cold winter with much of the country's energy infrastructure knocked out, continue to suffer due to the whims of a land-grabbing major power

White supremacists deride "wokeism" and critical theory yet have appropriated and twisted the language of post-colonialism and anti-imperialism. They fantasise that they are an oppressed indigenous group resisting invasion and undergoing cultural and physical erasure. The irony is breath-taking.

With the great powers flexing their 💪 and swinging their 🍆 like it's the 19th century, the UN resembles the beleaguered League of Nations. We need international law that applies to the powerful, not just the weak. And this time we need it before a global conflict breaks out. #Venezuela

What do Venezuela and Iraq have in common? They were both oil-rich dictatorships that the US illegally attacked on the pretext of a non-existent phantom threat and supposedly to bring them freedom. Let's hope Venezuela does not end up like Iraq.

The controversial Alaa Abd El-Fattah tweets are bigoted and shocking but he has expressed regret over them. Moreover, he is not an anti-white Islamist but a secular ex-prisoner of conscience. Finally, nobody should be stripped of their citizenship for expressing opinions.
