I added this section below but it was removed without adequate explanation, so I restored it. Surely it is relevant to at least say that she has regularly criticised Israel/India, supported independence of Palestine/Kashmir, spoken at the Aus parliament wearing a kaffiyeh, and spoken at the Pakistani consulate in support of the Pakistani government's stated position on Kashmir???
Criticism of Israel and allegations of antisemitism Faruqi is a frequent critic of the government of Israel and regularly participated in campaigns and rallies seeking the independence of Palestine. Faruqi has worn a kaffiyeh to Parliament while speaking on the subject, to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause. Faruqi has also supported the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.Faruqi's advocacy has resulted in allegations of antisemitism being levelled against her. The Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council has accused Faruqi of attending rallies with "placards are undeniably antisemitic", including some depicting "Jews as pigs and monkeys" or calling "for the deaths of Israeli civilians". However, when the popular Pakistani Islamic preacher Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai (invited by the Pakistan Association of Australia to Sydney) was revealed to have made remarks calling for the death of Jews and referring to Jews as "the enemies of Islam", Faruqi criticised those remarks.
Criticism of India and allegations of Hinduphobia Faruqi has been a longstanding critic of the government of India and taken positions on the Kashmir conflict that generally align with those of the government of Pakistan. In February 2021, Faruqi spoke at the Pakistani consulate in Sydney during an event titled "Kashmir Solidarity Day". She later tweeted an image of herself speaking and stated: "The Australian government must call on the Indian government to respect Kashmiris' rights to freedom and self-determination." Faruqi has consequently faced allegations of Hinduphobia by sections of the Hindu community in Australia.

There is no mention of religion in the early life section, which is customary for all biographic articles. Given she is not a natural born citizen of Australia (where Islam is not an element of the national culture/identity) it is important to include this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.202.188.87 (talk) 12:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I have added a paragraph on the recent controversy stemming from Faruqi's Twitter post on the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Please respond with any suggestions for strengthening this paragraph. Thanks Willw1193 (talk) 23:51, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have added a paragraph on Faruqi's campaign against horse and greyhound racing, which has been a key strategy since entering federal politics (and before). Any suggestions for improving this section are most welcome. Thanks Willw1193 (talk) 00:57, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
With the Pauline Hanson vs Mehreen Faruqi lawsuit bringing up the allegation of Mehreen Faruqi having "selective" advocacy when it comes to racism, I was wondering if there are any references to her opinion of the independence and/or autonomy movement of the people of Balochistan?
Obviously we have quite a few ethnic Hazaras in Australia that were escaping persecution by Baloch separatist militants, so we get exposed more to that perspective here, but I was wondering what the opinion of Mehreen Faruqi is as an economic migrant from Pakistan.
Considering her positions on oppression and self-determination, coupled with her background, I imagine it was brought up at least once in her career? Perhaps in January when Iran and Pakistan attacked each others Baloch people?
I understand she might have an issue with a "Eurocentric" perspective of foreign policy, so maybe she doesn't mention Ukraine/Russia a lot. But surely her foreign policy on Asian issues would have been brought up enough to warrant a section on Wikipedia? I found only sparse information on her foreign policy outside her social media (e.g. this SBS article), but I think my Google skills might just be weak. 2405:6E00:4DE:649:ED67:7FC0:6512:B075 (talk) 13:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
