One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has partially walked back anti-Muslim comments she made earlier this week, but has refused to offer a full apology. The backlash against Senator Hanson's comments continues from all sides of politics, with Labor and Coalition politicians condemning the remarks. Australia's Islamophobia envoy has invited Senator Hanson to an Iftar dinner during the holy month of Ramadan, where he encourages her to ask questions directly.

In this first episode of a two-part series, guest host Esaa Mohammad Sabti Samarah, PhD, LMSW leads a powerful conversation examining how anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim racisms function as distinct yet interconnected systems of harm. Together with scholars and practitioners Dr. Siham Elkassem, Dr. Bryn King, Dr. Nuha Dwaikat-Shaer, and Doctoral Candidate Amilah Baksh, the discussion examines how these forms of racism operate across structural, institutional, and interpersonal levels, and how they are sustained through histories of colonialism, racialization, and political violence.The episode critically interrogates the social work profession's response to these realities, confronting the gap between professed values and practiced silence. The panel names this silence as more than inaction: it is complicity reinforced by selective empathy, professional caution, and institutional pressures that limit meaningful engagement with Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim suffering.Listeners are invited to reflect on how racism is produced and maintained within professional spaces, and how social work education and practice can either reproduce harm or become a site of resistance and transformation. Part I lays the foundation by naming the problem clearly and setting the stage for a deeper examination in Part II, Beyond Neutrality: Confronting Silence, Resistance, and a Call to Action. The second episode deepens the conversation by examining neutrality, dissent, and professional responsibility, with particular attention to the impact on youth and affected communities.This episode is essential listening for anyone committed to racial justice, human rights, and accountability within social work and allied professions.#AntiRacism #PalestinianRights #AntiMuslimRacism #AntiPalistinianRacism #AntiArabRacism #ArabAndMuslimVoices #SocialWorkJustice #ColonialismAndResistanceLinks to Published WorksElkassem, S.

Abbiamo un'idea del buddismo come di una religione basata sulla non violenza, elemento decisamente rilevante, e fatichiamo a comprendere certe pieghe che il buddismo ha preso in Asia. Ma in paesi come lo Sri Lanka e il Myanmar i monaci buddisti sono stati invece figure centrali in movimenti che promuovono l'odio settario, abbandonando gli insegnamenti del Buddha in favore di un obiettivo più comune e terreno: il potere politico.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Tuesday, October 29 2025
Daisy Khan, founder and executive director of the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE) and the author of 30 Rights of Muslim Women: A Trusted Guide (Monkfish Book Publishing Company, 2024) , and Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, discuss how to fight both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia at a time of polarization over the Mideast in the context of concrete policy proposals from the New York City mayoral candidates, Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa.
In this video, we dive into a controversial but important question: How should Christians respond to Islamic immigration? Recently, videos have gone viral of people protesting Islam in ways that seem “Christian” on the surface—but are they actually following Christ's commands?As believers, we need to recognize that while Islam as an ideology stands against Christianity, our response as followers of Jesus cannot simply mirror the culture's hostility. The Bible calls us to something greater: to love our neighbors, love our enemies, and show radical hospitality.In this discussion, we talk honestly about Islam, Christianity, and the tension between the two faiths—but we also highlight the unique way Christians are called to respond. Instead of reacting with fear or hatred, we are commanded to extend love, compassion, and the hope of the gospel to Muslim immigrants.Whether you're a Christian wrestling with these issues, a skeptic curious about faith, or someone who's struggling to reconcile love and truth, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to live out the teachings of Jesus in a broken world.Enjoy!Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

In the summer of 2024, hotels sheltering Muslim asylum seekers across Britain were attacked by violent mobs. A year later, as the summer of 2025 drew to a close, a far-right demonstration of 100,000 people marched through London, bearing St George's flags and led by Tommy Robinson. On Downstream this week is Myriam François, a […]
The UAE's long-standing no holds barred campaign to persuade Western and other nations to proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood as the source of all Islamist evil, is producing results. The question is whether crackdowns on freedoms of expression and assembly, leaving Muslims and others with few, if any, release valves, coupled with anger at Western and Arab restrictions on expression of support for the Palestinians and a Western refusal to sanction Israel for its Gaza war conduct, creates a feeding ground for a next generation of Islamist militants.

Last-ditch efforts for Gaza ceasefire underway "Egypt, Qatar and the US have come together to present Hamas with a revised ceasefire proposal, originally drafted by Washington's Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. Sources familiar with the talks say this is being described as the last chance to make a deal. The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has been given 48 hours to respond." Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza "Israel is said to be accelerating its military offensive, aiming to seize control of about seventy-five percent of the territory within the next two months. That means nearly two million Palestinians would be forced into just a quarter of Gaza. A recent high-level briefing reportedly laid out these plans. By July, Israeli forces would occupy around two hundred and seventy five square kilometres of the coastal enclave—out of Gaza's total three hundred and sixty five. The Palestinian population would be confined to three areas: Gaza City in the north, central Gaza's refugee camps, and the Masawi area down south." US Golden Dome project is 'nuclear war scenario': North Korea "North Korea is slamming the United States over its new Golden Dome missile defence project, calling it a dangerous step toward nuclear war. President Trump announced the programme, worth one hundred and seventy five billion dollars, on May 20th, saying a design had been chosen and a lead appointed to manage the effort. In a statement released by state media, North Korea's Foreign Ministry accused Washington of arrogance and high-handedness. Officials there described the project as part of a ""space-based nuclear war scenario"" and said it perfectly reflects the ""America First"" mindset." US urges Israel to 'stay united' on Iran "The US is urging Israel to remain unified as talks continue with Iran over its nuclear programme. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she had a direct and honest conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the ongoing negotiations. According to her, President Trump specifically asked her to deliver the message in person, stressing the need for unity while discussions play out." Anti-Muslim lawmaker Wilders unveils 10-point migration crackdown plan "Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders is once again stirring controversy with a new ten-point plan aimed at slashing immigration. He's also putting pressure on the ruling coalition, warning he might pull his support if his demands aren't met. The plan includes some hardline measures like deploying the army to secure land borders and turning away all asylum-seekers at the point of entry. He also wants a temporary freeze on family reunification for accepted refugees."

On this episode of the Haaretz Podcast, Dutch journalist David de Jong and host Allison Kaplan Sommer discuss the violence against Israeli soccer fans on the streets of Amsterdam last weekend, and the media coverage of the events in Israel and the Netherlands, characterized by conflicting narratives and a flurry of viral videos that were often misleading. De Jong, a financial journalist who has covered the Gaza War over the past year, said the streets of Amsterdam were the last place he expected to watch the Middle East conflict play out. He also explained why the violence that erupted following the Maccabi Tel Aviv - Ajax match is a "boon" for the anti-immigration far-right parties in the Netherlands and across Europe.

This week has seen stories of bigotry, fuelled by bad information. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots sprung up across the UK, with no factual basis in the incident that triggered them - a stabbing attack that killed three young girls in Southport last Monday, founded on a widespread fake news story that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker who arrived ‘illegally' by boat. But some mainstream news outlets seemed to have trouble naming the problem. Riots were labelled ‘protests'. Attacking a mosque was called ‘disorder'. And the word Islamophobia? That was nowhere to be found. This week we are joined by Rizwana Hamid, award-winning journalist and the director of The Centre for Media Monitoring - which promotes accurate, fair and responsible reporting of Muslims & Islam. We discuss longstanding Islamophobia in the British media, the treatment of Zarah Sultana MP on Good Morning Britain, and smash tropes and stereotypes including accusations of grooming gangs and extremism. You'll also hear from Sabah Ahmedi, aka @theyoungimam, who invites those who disagree with or fear his faith to step out of their comfort zone, visit a mosque, and see for themselves. Plus, your round-up of the headlines through a Media Storm lens, including tackling the disinformation surrounding the ‘gender eligibility' of two Olympic boxers - Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting.

Shakespeare through Islamic Worlds (Routledge, 2024) investigates the peculiar absence of Islam and Muslims from Shakespeare's canon. While many of Shakespeare's plays were set in the Mediterranean, a geography occupied by Muslim empires and cultures, his work eschews direct engagement with the religion and its people. This erasure is striking given the popularity of this topic in the plays of Shakespeare's contemporaries. By exploring the limited ways in which Shakespeare uses Islamic and Muslim tropes and topoi, Ambereen Dadabhoy, Associate Professor of Literature at Harvey Mudd College, argues that Islam and Muslim cultures function as an alternate or shadow text in his works, ranging from his staged Mediterranean plays to his histories and comedies. By consigning the diverse cultures of the Islamic regimes that occupied and populated the early modern Mediterranean, Shakespeare constructs a Europe and Mediterranean freed from the presence of non-white, non-European, and non-Christian Others, which belied the reality of the world in which he lived. Focusing on the Muslims at the margins of Shakespeare's works, Dadabhoy reveals that Islam and its cultures informed the plots, themes, and intellectual investments of Shakespeare's plays. In our conversation we discussed Shakespeare's worldmaking and the social and political worlds of western Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Ottoman empires, famous plays, such as The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, and Othello, the figure of the “Moor,” and the threat of turning “Turk,” the intersection of race and geography in Shakespeare's works, disrupting Anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia through critical reading, and Muslim adaptations of Shakespeare.

Trey's Table Season 4: Episode 6 Adeel Mangi and Anti-Muslim Bias Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution states that there shall be no religious test for holding any federal office. Last year, President Biden nominated Attorney Adeel Mangi for a position as a federal judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit. Attorney Mangi is 47 years old, a graduate of Harvard Law School and has had a distinguished career as an attorney who has provided legal services to the members of the Muslim community. The American Bar Association rated him as highly qualified and when his nomination was presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee On paper he is the perfect nominee. But he was born in Pakistan and he is Muslim. And those are two things that Republicans have been using against him in an effort to keep him off the federal bench. https://youtu.be/wd4Qhmj93Fw?s...https://youtu.be/qlzo53rQ6kw?s...

Stuart Seldowitz, former Deputy Director in the US State Department's Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs, was filmed harassing a street vendor using racist, genocidal language.
The FBI is investigating a vehicle explosion Wednesday at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between the U.S. and Canada in what sources tell Fox News was an attempted terrorist attack. Low-income New Yorkers living in public housing say newly arrived migrants have been first in line for free turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, as public resources are strained from illegal immigration. The U.S. military unleashed an AC-130 gunship on an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Iraq this week after the group fired a ballistic missile at U.S. and coalition forces stationed at Al-Asad Airbase.
