Justice Needs To Be Served For Rigby, But For Innocent Muslims Alike!

Let me tell you about something personal that I had encountered earlier on this year. Me and my friend had travelled to The Old Bailey court to collect some money from friends nearby. It just so happened, that the day we decided to go there, the Lee Rigby case in relation to the Woolwich murders was commencing.

I remember seeing a group of white people stood outside the court, chanting ‘Justice for Lee Rigby’ , holding up banners and posters. While this was going on, I made the observation that a lot of press had arrived at the scene. There was cameras everywhere. As I enjoy being in front of the camera, I hurried along to where the camera man was along with my friend. A white woman, who was part of the group of Lee Rigby’s protestors, gave my friend a poster to hold up and encouraged my friend to participate in the chanting. I felt a little bit out of place, just standing there, google-eyed, so I joined in the chanting as well. As I did so, a white man remarked, ‘F*** you’. I was speechless for about two minutes, as I was in so much shock at the guys comment. Thereafter, I failed to hold my anger in, and I started saying, ‘Is it because of the brownness of my skin? Are you linking me to the Woolwich murderers? Just because I am brown it does not mean I am a terrorist!’. To this, the guy made absolutely no comment.

It was obvious to me that the man had some pre-assumptions about me, based on my appearance. Why did he feel the need to make that remark, was it because I was the only non-white person chanting ‘Justice for Lee Rigby’?

I really advise Non-Muslims and Muslims alike to do research into the religion of Islam, so we are clear of its teachings. May Allah guide those who have ill feelings towards Islam and Muslims.

With news coverage of the Lee Rigby murder, Facebook is facing huge criticism over allowing terrorist content to be posted online. Rigby's family are extremely distraught and angry at Facebook's lack of censoring.

Richard Barrett, former director of global counter-terrorism for MI6 has been reported by BBC News to have said on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme that to gather terror-related activity, Facebook would need legislative guidance.

I am quite worried about how Facebook will categorise 'terrorist content' as there is already huge stigma attached to Islam and misinterpretations fuelled into Islamaphobia. Many Muslims, including myself, will often use social networking sites to quote verses from the Qur'an as well as positive affirmations about the religion. With so many ignorance towards Islam and Muslims, I fear to think what could be made about these posts.

Prisoners Are Being Mistreated By Jail Staff. Odigie, A Previous Category A Prisoner, Tells Me His Story Of The Misconduct Present In Jail.

G4S Medway Centre for young offenders has been under extreme scrutiny since January this year, when BBC Panaroma revealed the harrowing crimes committed by custody officers against the young people in their care.

Only about a month ago, a prisoner got in touch with me via his contraband mobile phone, putting me in touch with a 'brother' who had been treated unfairly by the justice system and had a story to tell. The latter is a man named Jude Odigie, who otherwise goes by his Muslim name Hamzah, and is currently residing abroad in Nigeria with his family. Myself and Odigie have been communicating through whatsapp, by sending each other messages and occasionally discussing things on the phone.

Lets face it, every now and again, a teenager is murdered and we see a grieving mother on the news, only to forget about it the next day or two, and then mourn over another teenager's death sometimes the next day, sometimes the following week or even a month later. Last year alone, the Office For National Statistics revealed a staggering statistic of a 27% rise in violent crimes - most of these amounted to gun and knife crime committed by young people against young people. This year alone, so far, we have had a series of knife and gun attacks involving young people which has left some severely injured and some dead as a result of petty crime,over gan

It Felt Good To Be Invisible For Once!

Many times I have complained and moaned to others, and might I add, boasted, about the overwhelming attention I receive on the road from male spectators . Although, compared to most daring westernised girls who have no problem with showing off their legs, cleavage and body shape, I make sure to cover as much skin as possible. With that being said, I wear extra layers underneath tops and jumpers so less can be seen, and I enjoy wearing long jackets. As a result, I have boasted many times about the 'prettiness' of my face, as a man has nothing more to go on when he spots me and approaches me. Most girls cannot boast about this, neither make the same claim, as I myself, have witnessed men smack their tongues across their lips in lust at a woman's behind, only to follow her and show an apparent disappointed expression on their face, at the woman's face. Laugh as you wish, but when I'm seeing girls forcefully arching their backs whilst walking, I can't help but de
