The U.K.-based Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) released a video promoting its upcoming "Islamophobia Awards" event. The video shows dancing caricatures of U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, British PM Theresa May, British MP Nigel Farage, British columnist Katie Hopkins, and Aung San Suu Kyi, State Counsellor of Myanmar. The caricatures are shown dancing to a parody of the theme song from "Friends." The lyrics say: "They want to get away with Islamophobia. They're right-wing, racist, and think you're inferior… There'll be more for you because they can't get away." According to IHRC, the gala dinner and awards show is a "satirical event that aims to raise awareness of Islamophobia while poking fun at those who have outrageously displayed their prejudice for all to see over the past year."

What's Going Wrong for Asian Men," "Padmaavat," "My Week as a Muslim," "Real Time with Bill Maher," Roseanne," "No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You" by Raheem Kassam, and "Bodyguard." The video was uploaded to IHRC's YouTube channel on October 16.

Lyrics: They want to get away with Islamophobia. They're right-wing and racist and think you're inferior. It's time we told them we know who they are. Just looking at their faces gives us nausea. There'll be more for you, so vote before the day. There'll be more for you, so go and have your say. There'll be more for you, because they can't get away.
