Anyone else fed up with some of the blatant anti-muslim hatred on mumsnet?

I don't know if i should even bother trying to address it anymore.
Anyone else fed up?

Thank you

It's been deleted 👏🏼

Thank you.

Wish they'd do something about the thread itself too.

Read Isabel Wilkerson on Caste.

Really good.

Articulate Muslim or minority women speaking up about their own lives as if they are equals...not allowed. It breaks the system and the social hierarchy.

You're meant to be Othered so other can talk ABOUT you and virtue signal that way.

Every time I identify as a non-white woman online...PLOP....here comes someone to put me in my place and contradict me.

Safe spaces are hard to find. Universities and schools can be total cessholes for racism, and then you're not allowed to show solidarity or show you're a multi dimensional human being online.

Instagram and Substack can be great for finding kindred spirits. Curate what's going in.

I'd recommend
Middle east eye
Sarah of magdalene
The humanity archive (Dr Jermaine Fowler)
Novara media

I've subscribed to Elif Shafak and Brown history on Substack but haven't had time to really see how they are.

To quote from Wilkerson's amazing book "they don't have the monopoly on humanity". You got this.

(Waiting for someone to jump in and "correct" this post and thread...one ...two..three)

@Scirocco Well I did ask for MN to look into it but I was just ignored.

Me too.

I asked for the thread to go- it's awful how they're completely ignoring your opinions, & seemingly unaware of how offensive they're being ..

Thank you. Did you get a reply from MN?

I read the first page or two and then didn't bother reading the rest. Who do we need saving from?

Personally, I need saving from Disney Junior. It's oppressing me every day and indoctrinating me with its brightly coloured cartoon animals, thinly veiled product placement and irritatingly catchy songs.

Forgot Grillo Designs (Medina Grillo) on IG. Sister does minimal design.

I actually wasn't into IG until relatively recently but I wish I'd got into these things earlier in my life. Mainstream media is a lynch mob.

Put your money and attention to media and creators who don't secretly think you're subhuman/lesser/waiting to let their hatred ooze out.

This will make you cry it's so beautiful.

Hamda who is now making meals for children, one of his old posts on IG. I'm not sure what the song is though.

anotherlevel, no, I haven't yet..

@Parkingt111 I really couldn't tell you! But apparently they've been trying to save everyone they can

MN have ignored every report I've made about the thread on the feminist board so I've asked them on site stuff why it's being allowed to stand.

Why is this Islamophobic Thread being allowed to stand www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/5165155-why-is-this-islamophobic-thread-being-allowed-to-stand

Please feel free to add to it as I don't think MN is taking it seriously.

There's a wonderful poster on there, she's Jewish, and she has gone into battle for us and she has done a good job of explaining why Muslim MNetters might not want to post on there and how Islamophobia is present on it.

Can someone post a link to the thread please?

Is there a problem with Islam? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/feminism/5161705-is-there-a-problem-with-islam

😂 LOL
I would just leave them to it.

@anotherlevel although thank you for trying. You have more patience than myself.

I posted.

Sadly, this new thread has gone the same way as every other thread on Islam. This is why it just seems so pointless trying to engage with people. I personally wouldn't start another AMA on Islam because people's views on the matter are so entrenched. However, I'm not a Muslim but I admire any Muslim who tries their best to explain things from their perspective.

Thanks!

Gosh the site stuff thread has taken a turn to antisemitism now.
