For #ExMuslimMonth my ExMuslim partner and I launched exmuslim.me! It’s the first global map of stories shared anonymously by ExMuslims, giving them a safe & powerful way to share their journey out of Islam in a world where religions are respected more than the people they harm. #whyNOTislam

Criticism of #GodsandGirls film which I am in is it’s “critical of Islam” & Western-influenced feminism. When it comes to us:. Oppression is “culture.” Submission is “authenticity.” Patriarchy is “heritage.” Resistance is“Islamophobia.” A political tool to deny rights for those deemed “other.”

For #exmuslimawarenessmonth, let us know your main reasons for WHY NOT ISLAM #WhyNOTIslam Let me start: If #NotIslam, there would be no need to call for #FreeBetty, for end to #sexapartheid & #endapostasylaws #endblashemylaws ex-muslims.international/events/2025-...
