Dear Khalid Mahmood MP

We, the undersigned, write this letter to you with anger, frustration and deep hurt at your longstanding record of attacking Muslims and the Muslim community.

In recent days, you attacked the peaceful demonstration in support of Kashmir outside Birmingham City Council House. You also attacked the local council for not banning the demonstration. This is a direct attack on the suffering Kashmiri's and those standing in solidarity with Kashmiri’s in Indian Administered Kashmir.

We note that there have been several peaceful demonstrations in Birmingham City Centre during the COVID pandemic supporting the good causes of Black Lives Matter, Palestine, Yemen and the NHS. You have failed to criticise any of them, yet you felt it necessary to run to the media to ‘slam’ the Kashmir demonstration.

However, it must be noted that this criticism is not an outlier. You have spent your 19 years in office as a Member of Parliament attacking the Muslim community.

Here are 10 examples of your unjustified attacks on Muslims, Islamic Institutions and the Muslim Community:

1. You supported military strikes against Afghanistan. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2001/nov/11/afghanistan.religion  

2. You failed to vote against the Iraq War. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TwxjDgAAQBAJ&pg=PT116&lpg=PT116&dq=khalid+mahmood+mp+iraq+war&source=bl&ots=e5lax-rplT&sig=ACfU3U0r3VKqIcnBmH8qHoBxVyMn-3spFQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjCy5LxlJHrAhW5UBUIHb2lAMg4KBDoATAGegQIBhAB#v=onepage&q=khalid%20mahmood%20mp%20iraq%20war&f=false 

3. You defended the alleged Islamophobe Trevor Phillips and criticised The Labour Party for suspending him

4. You opposed the opportunity to enshrine a definition of Islamophobia in law developed by the Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7037113/amp/Labour-Muslim-MP-calls-plan-not-define-Islamophobia-law-pernicious-racism.html

5. You led the Trojan Horse (Hoax) campaign in Birmingham.

6. You continue to campaign for spy cameras in Birmingham targeting the Muslim community despite the West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council removing them years ago and apologising to the community.

7. You have served as a Political Council member of the Henry Jackson Society whose founding member Douglas Murray has criticised Islam and our Prophet (PBUH)

You are not fit to represent the Muslim community.

You do not represent the views of your Muslim constituents.

We ask you to refrain from speaking on behalf of the Muslim community!

Fix up!

Yours truly
