For most of this year I've been slowly working on a critical reading list for students and scholars interested in studying political violence and the global War on Terror. This is particularly for those tired of reductive, Islamophobic and racist texts:

A fact that Europeans sent their Jewish populations to displace Palestinians because they were fully aware of their inability to be anything other than antisemitic. Not: we’re sorry for the pogroms and we’ll be better for you. Rather: we’re not capable, so here is some land.

This pic is amusing, but Walaa and I write in our forthcoming book of how when detained Muslim men first arrived at Guantanamo Bay, the Arabs among them thought they were in the Arab world, and so prayed West, while the Afghans prayed towards the East knowing they were in GTMO.

This is such wonderful solidarity & leadership to see from @omarsuleiman504 - who understands well the implications of increasingly draconian measures in the UK, based on knowledge of France. It's so important that we're not divided at this time, and this article exemplifies that

The global Muslim community which stood with French Muslims as their gov cracked down on their basic rights under the guise of secularism, will also be firm in its support for British Muslims as their gov attempts to curtail their rights under the guise of “fighting extremism”.

A short message from me on why #StopMacron is an important hashtag for us to all get behind. This is about how 1.7 billion Muslims are treated with complete disdain. It’s why we need to support organisations like @ccif and @Barakacity Enough of French disrespect. @UK_CAGE

Watching Piers Morgan absolutely lose it and resort to tropes when interviewing @AbdulWahidHT reminds me a of what @kehinde_andrews writes of Morgan in ‘The Psychosis of Whiteness’: “Watching Morgan’s face turn red really brought home the meaning of the term gammon.”

Inshallah over Ramadan this year I’m going to try and share some reflections from my Quran readings. To be clear, I won’t be doing tafsir, but rather tadabbur (contemplation) over what some verses might mean to me. Inshallah hope others will share their own reflections on them.

Today: 21st year of the first detainees arriving at Guantanamo. I’ve been working on a book with Walaa Quisay on Muslim prisoners practising Islam. Been also reading less this year to re-learn how to draw. I wanted to express their experiences of Islam in the custody of the US.

I've been thinking a lot about why it is that so many people have so fastidiously been watching interviews on the Piers Morgan show. I'll even admit to having watched a few myself and been impressed or horrified by the spectacle of the interviews.

What has Israel-Palestine got to do with antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate? Showing yourselves up here in your faux-outrage that seeks to pacify. Israel is a settle-colonial-apartheid state. Nothing to do with judaism as a religion, and everything to do with colonialism.

Expect very high levels of gaslighting for the next five years as Labour activists present their party as being the resistance to the far-right, even as their party leadership will mimic right wing talking points to appeal to that base.

Spent the last 20 years trying to write on how the word ‘terrorism’ is unhelpful and instead we should be using ‘political violence’. I’ve never heard political violence used as much as these last few days, buts it’s only because they are so adamant to tie terrorism to Muslims.

There are lots of questions being raised on the case of Aafia Siddiqui over the last couple of days. It's worth reading the 2008 complaint against her, largely because of how bizarre the entire narrative by FBI Special Agent Mehtab Syed is:
