Who is “The Joshie-Man”?
It’s a name given by social media fans to Joshua Harris, a 12-year-old autistic and non-verbal Briton, who has been visiting UK mosques and distributing cakes to promote solidarity amid an increase in far-right support in the country. On a recent trip to Madinah with his father, “The Joshie-Man” turned his ‘Cake not hate’ campaign to ‘Dates not hate’ by handing out the holy city’s famous ajwa and ambar dates people in the courtyard of the Prophet’s Mosque.
