Twitter was left in a bit of shock recently when a video of preacher Abu Ibrahim projecting anti-black rhetoric on the streets went viral.  Muslim Twitter erupted, calling the leader out for his damaging words. He later apologised for his speech, but the apology added insult to injury when he claimed those who took offence were falling into  a “victim mentality.”

Here is what the preacher said

Wtf?? British preacher Abu Ibraheem Husnayn from Birmingham openly spreading anti-blackness on the street. Disgusting. How is this man allowed to preach? pic.twitter.com/YBTrxB7YgD

Here is how Twitter reacted

This is the same dude who said if women have profile pics, people shouldn't marry them. Please start holding your leaders accountable, British Muslims.

Isn't there some sort of governing Muslim body over there that looks at this garbage? He's been going off on multiple occasions. At what point do people have enough. I've never seen anything like this in the US or Canada

someone actually stop him. He goes "as though racism is only for them" like it's some bloody Christmas gift that we laid claim to. If an 'apology' ever entails the word "but" it's an excuse/defence not an apology.

What did I even just watch "as if racism is only for them" – somebody please stop this man. I don't think this falls under hate speech or I was tempted to report to police.

Subhana’Allah It’s Actually So Sad When People Are This Ignorant When It Comes To The Deen, And They Don’t Have The Means To Humble Themselves Correctly To Admit To Their Mistakes. An Apology Like This He Might As Well Not Have Apologised. May Allah Guide Us All.

That wasn't even an apology he never addressed what he said. That was just him bitching again lol

I actually adore how he has the audacity to refer to us as "brothers and sisters" after calling us savages who cannot articulate themselves and have contributed nothing but gangster culture to society. Don't lay claim to us.

This guy is trash. we were blatantly being victims of racist rhetoric. Black peoples are never given opportunity to process their trauma/grievances. We're goaded and rushed into accepting half ass consolations and when we speak out we're dismissed as "playing victim". pic.twitter.com/SWmNXhxZen

It really burns my biscuits to be told that racism isn't just ours as if being judged and abused by race alone is some kind of honor that only we want. But in acknowledging my experience I'm not disavowing anyone else's. And to my first point. If the black experience was
