2. ISNA55 ambushed by gun carrying Islamophobes & protected by New Black Panther group

ISNA a convention hosted in Housten Texas,  by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) the largest and oldest Islamic umbrella organization in North America works each year to bring together speakers, sheikhs, preachers, teachers, lecturers, academics, activists, and anyone who wishes to discuss their ideas on identity and Islam together. This year, the building was surrounded by a right-wing Texas Patriot Network, a group of armed islamophobes. Shortly after this, however, an armed group formed with, “Huey P. Newton Gun Club & New Black Panther Party marched.”

Islamophobia is real
Sexual abuse is real
A scholar or imam can be a victim of Islamophobia while also an abuser of students or congregants.
Whose health & dignity do we care about?
Are we as outraged by assault & abuse of power as we are by Islamophobia?#ISNA55

3. New offensive launched in Idlib Syria

New government offensive has been launched in Syria, against rebels, which UN envoy has warned will be a ‘perfect storm’ in Northwest Syria. Some are deeming this the last big battle of the civil war since ‘rebels’ and civilians have been defeated and many killed.

The BBC reported, “Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said “terrorists” must be wiped out in Idlib, accusing them of using civilians as human shields.” However, opposition groups have said the rebels will not turn away from militant groups. Claiming they will not withdraw even if they fail to quash ‘terrorist groups’ within their ranks. Middle East eye spoke to the head of the Istanbul-based Syrian National Coalition (SNC), Abdulrahman Mustafa, who reported that “opposition groups in Idlib were trying to entice members of HTS –  a coalition, dominated by former al-Qaeda fighters – to leave the organisation.”

The civilians of Syria's Idlib province–the last anti-government enclave–brace for a possibly imminent assault. Will Putin stop Assad from launching a huge bloodbath or will he facilitate it? Every government should be pressing Putin. https://t.co/prn56rL6Hc pic.twitter.com/NUa2zfaKKG

As Syrian-Russian forces threaten the last anti-government enclave of Idlib, don't let them pretend that only jihadists live there. There are also well over two million civilians and a vigorous effort to preserve some remnant of democracy for Syria. https://t.co/44uXmmH8QQ pic.twitter.com/z2XKgCTtra
