🚨 MAN ARRESTED AFTER ELDERLY MOSQUE MUEZZIN ATTACKED IN MANCHESTER A 70-year-old mosque caretaker and muezzin has reportedly been brutally assaulted outside Zakaria Mosque in Whalley Range, Manchester. Footage obtained by 5Pillars shows police detaining a man at the scene and placing him in handcuffs. Brother Fiaz, who has served his local Muslim community for years, was allegedly punched three or four times while standing on the mosque steps, causing him to fall down the stairs and suffer injuries. The attacker is said to have urinated into the elderly man's hat after knocking it off his head. Members of the public reportedly intervened before the attacker was apprehended by police. The motive for the attack remains unclear, and it has not been established whether it is being investigated as a hate crime.

MUSLIMS ABUSED WHILE PRAYING OUTSIDE BURGER KING A video circulating on social media shows Muslim men being subjected to Islamophobic verbal abuse while praying outside a Burger King restaurant. In the footage, a man with an Irish accent who appears to be drunk confronts the Muslims and makes offensive accusations linking their religion to terrorism and violence. “Bomb, kill people, and you pray to Allah,” he says, before describing Muslims as “sick people” and continuing his abusive tirade. The Muslims remain calm in the face of the abuse. The exact location and date of the incident have not been independently verified, nor has the identity of the man involved.

Islamophobic activist Kellie-Jay Keen was filmed at Speakers' Corner blocking Muslims from praying. She could be heard ranting that prayer is an "act of domination" and is against British values. Muslims are required to pray five times a day. The worshippers were clearly not disturbing or blocking anyone, instead praying quietly in a public space.

A video appearing to show Muslims pretending to pray on public transport in Europe has been shared on X by Islamophobic accounts, which have condemned the group as an example of Muslims behaving badly. However, viewers have pointed out that the three men do not appear to be performing salah (Islamic prayer) correctly, exposing the footage which depicts fake worship. Sujud (prostration) is performed twice in each rak’ah (unit of prayer), not three or more times, as appears to be the case in the video. Far-right accounts are known to peddle misinformation such as sharing fake AI-generated images depicting Muslims acting badly in public. Such content is designed to fuel anti-Muslim hostility by portraying Islamic prayer as a supposed “show of force” or an act of “domination”.

The vote adds Birmingham's voice to growing calls for public bodies across Britain to review their financial relationships with companies linked to Israel.

“They call us terrorists? Look at these children. They bombed them and killed them. They had committed no crime. They were innocent.” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the United States and Israel at the UN General Assembly today, accusing them of killing innocent Iranian children and being the real terrorists. Holding up images of children who had been killed in US-Israeli attacks, Pezeshkian condemned the bombing of schools, sports facilities, hospitals and civilian infrastructure. “Those who are terrorists and train terrorists tell us that we are terrorists. We are only defending ourselves. We are not terrorists.” Pezeshkian insisted that Iran would not bow to foreign aggression, declaring that a nation unable to defend itself would be crushed.

Britain has declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory unlawful and announced sanctions targeting illegal settlements — but Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband refused to recognise Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide while reaffirming his "unwavering" support for the Israeli state. Miliband announced a ban on imports from illegal settlements, sanctions against those facilitating settlement expansion, and new restrictions on arms exports connected to the occupation. He also accused Israeli settlers of carrying out "ethnic cleansing" in parts of the occupied West Bank. However, he repeatedly stressed the measures target Israel's occupation — not Israel itself — explicitly rejected the BDS movement, and stopped short of accusing Israel of genocide despite acknowledging mounting evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
