The door of the Kaaba in Makkah was opened, and footage showing the interior of Islam's holiest site spread rapidly online, drawing widespread attention across Bengali-speaking audiences. The Kaaba's door is opened only on limited, ceremonial occasions, making such views rare, and viewers reacted with astonishment and curiosity at the scenes inside.

A new online series has launched, told from the perspective of an immigrant from a Muslim-majority country. Its author argues the story carries a troubling message: that people who flee war are expected to feel grateful simply for having escaped, rather than being treated as entitled to safety and dignity. The commentary criticises the expectations placed on refugees adjusting to life elsewhere.

The European Parliament has adopted a resolution calling for the Muslim Brotherhood to be designated a terrorist organisation and added to the EU's terror list.

Reaction is focusing on the resolution's implications for European security policy and relations with Muslim communities.
