It’s always the people you least expect. First thing you’re hanging out with your fellow enthusiasts for Oct 7 and then suddenly the guy so enthusiastic about the Hamas rapes in Israel turns out to want to rape you too.
No one could have seen it coming. Certainly there’s nothing in Egyptian (see above) or Islamic culture (see below) that would served as a warning sign.
So the University of Birmingham’s ‘Liberated Zone’: one of the UK’s finest locations for majoring in suicide bombing abroad, set up in solidarity with those fellows in green killing, kidnapping and raping over there, has had its good name sullied by one fellow who didn’t understand that it was okay ‘over there’, but not inside the tent.
So Birmingham’s Queers for Palestine wrote this essay on the subject.
BQFP statement on normalised sexual abuse within organising spaces.
Birmingham Queers for Palestine began in September 2024 after a small group left the Birmingham Liberated Zone at the University of Birmingham following a pattern of sexual assault and normalisation of abusive behaviour within the organisation. In June 2024, a member of BLZ — Ahmad, codename Egypt — was credibly accused of both sexual and emotional abuse by another camper, Pink…
When questioned on this decision, camp “leaders” claimed that Ahmad was a useful contributor to the camp and a personal friend, and that the accusations were false, despite his openly violent and misogynistic attitude towards Pink and other campers. Ahmad has continued to be involved with BLZ’s actions since this time. We have now learned that, since 2024, he has used these same tactics to abuse two more women, at least one of whom was a new member of the camp — despite BLZ having been warned that this was likely to happen again if he was given continuous access to organising spaces.
Members of the camp have continued to harass Pink and other survivors for speaking out against their abuse. It is clear that this continued normalisation of abuse within these spaces has created a culture in which it is unsafe to speak out about patriarchal violence.
Wait. There’s apparently some overlap between Islam and “patriarchal violence”? Wait until Queers for Palestine finds out what Islam thinks about them.
Maybe rallying in support of an Islamic terrorist group that raped women is what ‘normalised’ the abuse to begin with.
BQFP learned of this ongoing abuse in January 2026 and have been asked by the survivors to make this public. In writing this statement alongside the survivors, we hope to ensure that organising spaces in Birmingham are made safe for all survivors and people of marginalised genders. As an organisation, we stand strongly in solidarity with anyone who has been subjected to patriarchal violence, and we want to make it clear that there is no space within BQFP for perpetrators of abuse.
Like the Israeli women who were raped by Hamas terrorists? Does that count as “patriarchal violence”? Probably not.
The Birmingham Liberated Zone issued a statement stating that 4 participants in their ‘zone’ were also “subjected to serious and damaging abuse” by Ahmed.
But none of this is making anyone rethink their support for Islamic terrorists raping women over there. Until it happens again. Because who knew the Islamic rape enthusiasts would rape me too?
