This was the very first tweet that the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries said was "professional misconduct" and below it the explanation of the context that I gave to the Disciplinary Tribunal Panel 1. ‘Islam needs urgent reform (if possible?). The majority of its victims are Muslims who live under repressive, backward regimes. It still inspires far too much terrorism, child marriage, & hatred of Jews/gays. It is very sad that in 2020 it has barely changed for centuries.’ This was in response to a tweet from a person claiming to be a Muslim sharing a video of two children with their bare feet bound through metal bars being beaten on the soles of their feet, an extremely painful and dangerous practice known as bastinado and regarded as a form of torture. The individual stated that the person who taught him/her the Quran did the same to him/her when he/she was 5 years old. My tweet is an expression of opinion having seen that the Jewish population of many Islamic countries has reduced dramatically, and that homosexuality is punishable by death in many Islamic countries. My comment reflects (as demonstrated by the tweet I was responding to) that many Muslims suffer under poor human rights within Islamic countries.
