Do British Muslims matter?

Hate crimes against Muslims in the UK have surged in recent years, sparking concerns over the normalisation of anti-Muslim rhetoric in public and political discourse.

TRT World speaks to Labour MP Afzal Khan and House of Lords member Shaista Gohir about the urgent need for action to combat hate.

This is why the U.S. no longer deals with Starmer’s UK, or the EU. Britain is on the brink of being labeled a designated hot spot for radical Islam. Russia doesn’t have this problem. It’s not a potential threat to anyone, & it’s a global powerhouse far more aligned with U.S. interests, values, & religion-
Britain has fallen.

They matter if they think people from other religions are important as them. Also do Christians in majority muslim countries matter? That is question that many muslims or even Christians aren't even asking.

Well muslim have many islamic countries to go if they feel so hard done by and same goes for cultural needs and assimilation theres plenty of south asian countries to go. Fed up of this constant drama if people dont feel welcome or valued then simply go where you will that way everyone is happy.

We are one society muslim or not we all look out for one another in the uk the politicians and the far right groups can think what they want but we are all one ❤

Stop muslim this and muslim that. Simply be British.

If you are so uncomfortable in Britain, why don't you move? You'll have a good time in Turkey.

It depends....Do they identify as Muslims first or as British first?

Jesus help us. Help us all to live with love and compasion. Like u do. We are all created by our father god. Give us strength to go against the devils works. You say follow your government if they are loving and just. So this isnt the case help us to follow your love and laws as we should. God bless us all. Love your neighbour as ourselves

Sorry but the question you should also be asking do Muslims do enough to assimilate and integrate into the British society? While I do condone violence you can’t simply ignore the actions of radical Islamist extremist in the west. Aren’t the Muslims in London screaming for Sharia in the UK? How come the native British don’t have any issues with Sikhs, Hindus, Christians, Buddhist and other faiths? Why only Muslims I wonder or is it because of the lack of accountability for the actions of fellow Muslims in the west? You guys are at odds with every major society globally including yourselves. Trust and respect is a two way street we let you into our homes now show the same respect.

طالما اللوبيات الصهيونية والماسونية كانت ومازالت تتحكم في من يأتي في الحكم والسلطة في لندن وواشنطن! الأمة العربية والإسلامية ستعاني!

Just a thought, politicians, mps and top Muslims have resigned from their roles, what does this mean, you might be born British Pakistani Bangladeshi somali but you will never be British, face the facts this will never change, we will always be second class and the escape goat, plan ahead and think about relocating if possible?
