This is not Obama 2.0. Instead, Washington, D.C. is soon to get used to a new way of operating, one that allows the President a degree of flexibility that is unbeknown to the usual guise of Democratic administrations. Forcible cremation of Muslim baby sparks outrage, the public health policy behind it, which is practised exclusively in Sri Lanka and is in conflict with WHO guidelines, is considered a smokescreen for persecuting Muslims. Donald Trump left the world stage in much the same way as when he appeared amid an apocalyptic vision of an ‘American carnage’, Although Johnson is hampered by his previous missteps, mistrust and poor competence ratings in opinion polls about his previous initiatives, vaccines appear to be a possible best way out from the crippling effects of Covid 19 when his other policies have failed and backfired. It should, therefore, not come as a surprise that Israel’s largest human rights NGO has labelled the state, an “apartheid regime”. How was it possible for there to be a period of African kings in Bengal without an African invasion or a sufficiently large African community in the country? Israel’s ‘Give a Shoulder’ vaccination campaign, excludes 2.5 million Palestinians living under its control. Illegal Jewish settlers living in the occupied West Bank are, however, eligible for vaccination. Palestine has called on the UN Security Council to “assume its responsibilities” to stop Israel’s excavations in the complex of Al-Aqsa Mosque. The demand was made on the same day UN special rapporteur said Israel’s evictions of Palestinians from East Jerusalem was a means to change the city’s demography. Israel’s largest human rights organisation has labelled Israel an “apartheid regime,” for the first time in an explosive report spelling out that the country cannot be a democracy while occupying Palestinian land. There has been a flurry of voluntary mosque closures in the UK to help curb spiralling Covid-19 infection rates, this, despite places of worship in England being exempt from mandatory shutdowns during the third lockdown and being Covid secure. A record number of Muslims have been recognised in the New Year’s Honours list. A total of fifty-six (four CBEs, 11 OBEs, 22 MBE, 19 BEM) Muslims made the most ethnically diverse honours list, with 14 % of recipients coming from BAME background. Two former Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), one Tory the other Labour, are among 17 peers appointed to the House of Lords, last month. The nominations of Wajid Khan and Dr Syed Kamall take the tally of Muslims in the House of Lords to 17. The Muslim News looks back at the mammoth work done by a sample of Muslim charities during the start of the covid-19 pandemic. Helpline launches for Bame families Leaked chat between right-wing news channel owner and media body chief gives an unmistakable hint that Pulwama and Balakot incidents were contrived to aid Narendra Modi sweep the polls US President Donald Trump clemency of four security contractors, convicted of killing Iraqi civilians in 2007, has been denounced by the Government of Iraq and UN human rights experts. A 28-year-old Scottish man who allegedly claimed “all Muslims must die” has gone on trial at the High Court in Glasgow on December 21, accused of planning terrorist acts in Aberdeen. The Archbishop of Greece Ieronymos II has been slammed for branding Islam a political party and not a religion. Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) job applicants with “non-white” names are more likely to be rejected in Britain than their “white-named” counterparts, according to a comparative study published in December. Former umpires Ismail Dawood and John Holder announced on December 30 that they are to sue England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for alleged racial discrimination. A Missouri gun range violated the civil rights of a Muslim woman by barring her entrance unless she removed her hijab, an advocacy group said. The hallmarks of a decent society are its diversity, tolerance and acceptance of those who are less privileged. In these strange times, decent people should raise their strong and organised voice in social media, mainstream media and public life. As the clock struck 11 pm on December 31, 2020, the one-year Brexit transition period came to an end – but what implications does that have for employers and employees? It was all about putting one foot in front of the other. Covid-19 was exhausting but I live (thank God) to tell the tale. The Colour of God is not a chronological arc, but a series of life events arranged – I believe - according to impact. The New York Jets hired San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh to be their new head coach, making him the first Muslim to run an NFL sideline While world leaders’ willingness to stage grand events that discuss climate action and financial commitments offer hope to some, it is clear that business as usual will continue. Over 3 million people have now received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in the UK. Doctors are reporting that uptake has been high among those offered the first doses, despite concerns that apprehension about a new vaccine and misinformation may affect people’s decision to come forward. Hijab-wearing, mother-of-three, rugby player Zainab Alemais smashing stereotypes The reason the Home Office was reluctant to publish its report on the sexual grooming, is because it shows that child abusers are most commonly White. Over 120 people attended a landmark conference on the media reporting of Islam and Muslims. It was held jointly by The Muslim News and Society of Editors in London on September 15. The Muslim News Awards for Excellence 2015 was held on March in London to acknowledge British Muslim and non-Muslim contributions to the society.
