Charlotte speaks about how Muslims and Jews are working to build networks bridges of hope.
These are essential in countering conspiracy theories, antisemitism, anti-Muslim hate and hate. #MuslimsAgainstantiSemitism

At the last #UKIP #Brexit rally, there was an atmosphere of intimidation and aggravation. Just have a listen at some of these scenes. #YaxleyLennon

Capturing a beautiful moment of laughter between Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg and Imam Mamadou. Working out how we can work across faiths to challenge the rise in hate through a lecture series. Great things to come. #interfaith #StrongerTogether #Antisemitism #islamophobia

Right now - for both Jews and Muslims, there is nothing stronger that can cement our futures, if we bond and stand together so that people cannot drive wedges between us. Far right and Islamist extremists will try this, as will populist politicians. We must not allow them.

Thank you to everybody who took the time to write up and submit their entries to the hate crime and community cohesion inquiry. We have received over 100 pieces of evidence from so many different individuals, charities, public sector organisations, the list goes on.
Thank you!

Thank you so so much to everyone who has supported the inquiry into hate crime and community cohesion. We have received so many considered and constructive pieces of evidence, now the work to convert it into a report must begin. #no2h8 #strongertogether

As racists and fascists try and intimidate a Muslim woman driving a bus for the public, her dignity far outweighs the shirtless buffoonery and digusting behaviour of those intimidating her.
Extremists like these are a threat to the peace of our communities.

" The definition of a "racist incident" ... will now encompass "any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person". "
This is what McPherson recommended following the Stephen Lawrence inquiry. It is a vital principle for equality.

A Muslim and a Jew. Great starting line....but no joke. Nothing but care, empathy and affection last night as the @chiefrabbi and @BoardofDeputies held an Iftar for Muslims Against Antisemitism.

These letters caused a great deal of fear & distress in Muslim communities across our country, and this latest news is welcome. In the meantime, if you feel unsafe please contact @TellMAMAUK to report it, or alternatively contact the police.

Just some of the abuse that the fabulous @BegumNadiya gets. Let's show her how much affection we have for her Twitter - she gives us so much, let's stand with her.

Following from earlier news stories on the arrest linked to the 'Punish a Muslim' letters, the suspect has appeared in court and been remanded. We must allow our judiciary space to do their job but hope that those affected feel some sense of progress.

Glad to hear that the Home Secretary @sajidjavid will be looking to proscribe Hizbollah in full later this year.
This means that waving the flags of the group will become illegal. Extremism & terrorism must not be allowed to fester.

What an honour & a delight to be guests of the Chief Rabbi & Board of Deputies at Iftar at the Central London synagogue (ps in case you’re wondering, yes, I’m the one in the yellow kippa!) A HUGE thank you. With @FaithMattersUK @BoardofDeputies @MAAS_UK xitter.cf/hardipbegol/status/100…

"Jews & Muslims are part of the same historic family. Our friends here tonight are true and genuine brethren in every sense."

Our event on misogyny will take place on 16th July. We have speakers from police, Parliament and women's organisations who will share their thoughts and experiences.
In today's society there should be no need for these events, but until that happens, we will continue our work.
