We often get asked what @theriztest is & why me & @educ_research created it, so who better than our man @rizwanahmed to explain it himself. Proper G mA 👊🏽
We’re hard at work behind the scenes on some new research, podcast season 3, and some updated workshops

I asked Grok to tell me a joke about Muslims, the results were… predictable.
Me and @ShereenFDZ (& contributors) write about this topic and more in our forthcoming book Automating Islamophobia: The Future of AI and Muslims - preorder link to follow in the coming weeks!

tl:dr: We're gradually migrating to @bluesky - search for RizTest
We (@educ_research & @shaftag) created our Twitter account back in 2017, to publicly share our research. Thanks to our early supporters & in large part @rizwanahmed for his unwavering support we found a community

We've met some incredible people and Twitter has been an integral part of our success. That being said we're conscious that this platform isn't what it once was, so we're slowly going to migrate to BlueSky, we hope you'll join us there

Big thanks to Remy Mohamed and the Greater London Authority (GLA) Muslim Staff Network for inviting me to present to over 100 of their colleagues today. A pleasure to speak about why Shaf & I set up @theriztest

Imagine if the UK press reported on stories like this as much as they obsess on immigration and small boats

We did not come to Britain.

Riztest Review
Under Paris (2024) Pass
“Under Paris is akin to Moonfall: not sure if this is nonsensical trash, or an intractable, self aware work of genius. It’s a RizTest pass with Paris's River Police Officer Adil, but it's worth a watch just for to the unintended hilarity”

The hysterics and lies about Jonathan Glazer’s honest, humane, and brave Oscar speech simply reaffirms his point - that Zone of Interest was made to “confront us in the present — not to say, “Look what they did then,” rather, “Look what we do now.”🧵

Looking forward to taking part in this panel discussion with some intellectual heavyweights! I will share some insights from my research on racism, Islamophobia and the terrible impact on young people's identities. Thank you for the invitation @HJusticeLdn and Dr Tarek Younis.
[3/4] THE STATE OF ISLAMOPHOBIA AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE MUSLIM MIND
@educ_research, @AsimCP, @RizwaanSabir and myself will examine the current state of Islamophobia in the Global North and its impact on Muslim communities.

Yet another rather blatantly #Islamophobic example as to why #Diversity and #Inclusion falls foul of the logics of #representation under #WhiteSupremacy:

While I can understand admiring the artistry of this movie, it does seem so wrong for this & many other related reasons. A reminder of who still dominates Hollywood & media industries: they get to impose their stories on us.
Oppenheimer built the bomb that killed my great-grandmother while her grandsons were drafted into the US army and the govt imprisoned her kids. If you're into moody great man biopics, I guess that's cool, but I personally really don't care how he felt while he was doing it.
