Quite disgusted at BBC's opening coverage of #FIFAWorldCup2022 Never has any other host country been subjected to so much disproportionate criticism. Why? Simply because it's a Muslim country! Just focus on the Football!!! #FIFAWorldCup

Here's my latest piece in @guardian about the unequal access to the UK's green spaces for minority communities. Let's break down barriers and make nature inclusive for all 🙌 @InclusionActive @Muslim_Hikers

Minority communities are edged out of the UK’s green spaces. I’m trying to change that | Haroon Mota

Access to nature should be a fundamental right, but so many barriers are still in place. Here’s how we can tear them down, says mountaineer Haroon Mota
