Experts with language skills in most of the Arab world would tell you that if Hezb attahrir is out in the street screaming ‘Jihad’’, you should run away and call the police; but you are the police.
We've been tagged in quite a few posts with video and photos from the Hizb ut-Tahrir protest in central London this afternoon.
Below is an update that explains what we've done in response and the decisions reached following advice from specialists in this field.

If I were hired because my ethnicity helps a corporation or institution fill some diversity quotas and not because I am good for the job, I would consider it an insult. Maybe it makes some feel warm and fuzzy being a white saviour but this is not what ethnic minorities need.

There was plenty of time for asking questions at the event. Most of the questions were challenging Kathleen Stock’s views. She answered. It was nice.
Gluing one’s hand and staying silent is hardly a substitute for conversation.
This evening I glued my hand to the floor of the Oxford Union debating chamber, wearing a t-shirt which said “NO MORE DEAD TRANS KIDS”, in front of Kathleen Stock during her talk at the Union. Here’s why I felt I had to take this action:

Reading Anne Frank as a young Moroccan girl was my first encounter with injustice. The amount of innocent lives it cost to achieve peace in Europe should not be buried under the pretence of appeasement.
A daycare in Sachsen-Anhalt is changing its name to erase Anne Frank, for fear of offending "parents with migration backgrounds"
The daycare says it would like a name "without political background" and has chosen "World Explorers" instead

No, you don’t have a right to feel superior to me because of your skin colour.

As a white person, we must recognise our privilege under white supremacy, colonialism and imperialism. People of colour have been denied equality because of conscious and unconscious racism and prejudice. So yes, we should feel guilty and ashamed.

When I was 11, my mother didn’t want me to take Latin because it was a waste of time, and it wouldn’t get me a real job. I taught myself Latin, then bits of Greek. Accessing the sources of myths, legends, concepts, laws that shape our lives is basic intellectual honesty.👇

Suella Braverman is a walking, talking exemplar of assimilation, not multiculturalism, and a great one to that. And she can, believe it or not, have any political view she wants.

The idea that a statue could be a “a hate crime” and could lead an ethnic group in particular into violence is racist.
Ethnically minorities should not be used as emotional hostages to the reassessment of colonial history.

In fact, decent people do not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Slavery is the ONLY thing students ever hear about Africans. Nothing about the dynamics between the Portuguese, the English, and West Africa. Nothing about the African kingdoms, their wars, their slave trade. Africans were not just victims, they also did bad things, like anybody.
So, actress Adjoa Andoh now says school curriculum should be changed to teach children more about slavery as she speaks on podcast recorded weeks before her Coronation comments branding Royal family 'terribly white'.
What word would you use to describe her?

The result of destroying classics will be that groups who still value a classical education will transmit it to their children, who will benefit from a deeper, broader understanding of thoughts and languages. Removing any bit of a previously kept knowledge is intellectual murder.

Princeton: “We’re racist!”
Education department: “No 💰 for you.”
Princeton: “We are not THAT racist.”
The Education Department just informed Princeton that it's under formal investigation following the president's declaration that racism is "embedded" in the university. If true, that would violate the Civil Rights Act, rendering it ineligible for federal $.
