The Jewish Chronicle *again* lied about Muslims

The paper falsely accused Nada al-Sanjari of
- Inviting an antisemitic activist
- Turned a blind eye to antisemitic statements
- Launched a vicious protest against Luciana

All lies. They've been forced to apologise & pay libel
This can be found here: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/nada-al-sanjari-apology-1.507008

It was thanks to Carter Ruck, with Nada represented by Adam Tudor & Helena Shipman.

They note that Stephen Pollard & Lee Harpin apologised to Nada - although I can't see the above link on @lmharpin's Twitter feed.
It is unfortunately the latest in a long line of appalling articles by the Jewish Chronicle related to Muslims

Here is an example of Lee Harpin lying about @MuslimCouncil, which was then corrected https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1146872112038260736
Here is when the Jewish Chronicle lied about the Muslim charity Interpal, falsely linking it to terrorism, necessitating an apology and paying libel damage

The paper also slurred Ibrahim Hewitt, the Chairman of Interpal, which they have now clarified https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1165198969347203074
Here is when The Jewish Chronicle corrected & apologised for its attempt to slur Professor Salman Sayyid with extremist links, as part of its ongoing campaign to undermine the definition of Islamophobia

Lee Harpin was the author of the original article https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1101516358137856000
The reality is the Jewish Chronicle is unfortunately often a platform for hate against Muslims & to undermine Muslims in the public space

E.g. when many Muslims were reeling after the massacre in Christchurch, they published this vile piece by Phillips https://twitter.com/Mendelpol/status/1116455398398156801
And this awful piece by Melanie Philips, falls into this category: "Don’t fall for bogus claims of ‘Islamophobia’"

Obviously no care that she was literally cited by Breivik or she literally authored "Londonistan" - a term embedded amongst the far-right https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1206668565551702016
The Jewish Chronicle platforms Robin Simcox, whose own organisation hosts renowned Islamophobes Brigette Gabriel & Frank Gaffney.

Yet he is given a platform at the JC to state unchallenged that the government should not engage with "extremists" https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1090966054027886593
And when a Muslim raises a concern about her fears about the views of a senior politician on Muslims, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle chooses to try and slur her.

The Jewish Chronicle even praised Colonel Richard Kemp & claimed "no comments made by Colonel Kemp could reasonably be interpreted as “Islamophobic”".

Propagating propaganda for Kemp https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1213147106397106179
The paper acts as a mouthpiece for those who are fighting against the very definition of Islamophobia

One does not have to wonder what this paper has said about those who fought against the definition of anti-semitism https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1109434083128553473
This latest apology is not a one-off but part of a pattern of behaviour - an editorial line on Muslim-related issues as the thread shows, and as is confirmed by @cfmmuk analysis of its pieces

Shameful does not begin to cover how awful this is.
