Here’s a list of things I would ask Allah for (please keep in mind I used to think differently): Click for more!
Want a career as a Muslim apologist? There are many ways you can become the next Reza Aslan, Linda Sarsour, Dalia Mogahed etc. Here are the following steps you can take.
Linda’s Tweets

Around a year and two days ago, I have joined the organization called The Ex Muslims of North America (EXMNA). This organization is a community organization where Ex Muslims in different parts of North America host networkingbonding events.

I’ve always wanted to write more about moderate Muslims and express my great interest to that subtopic of Islam Reform. While I have created content in the past on the subject, the book we are about to discuss certainly gives the “necessary jolt” for me to discuss moderate Muslims in the West.
General Thoughts On The Atheist Muslim
I have recently finished an audiobook of “The Atheist Muslim” By Ali Rizvi.

As the oldest sibling there were a few years in my early childhood that I had nobody to play with. So I would run from one end of my parents’ apartment to the next fighting with my imaginary friends. Boy was I good at martial arts… in my own imagination of course.
We would play power Rangers. I would even lose the battle sometimes and “die.” This is all on home video footage and it’s a very cute memory. It certainly influences my imagination for the rest of my life and even today.
I was 2-5 years old. Click to continue reading!
A few months ago 20th Century Fox Productions was advertising X Men Apocalypse. The following image was an ad for the billboard.
The image shows Apocalypse, a powerful villain, choking Mystique.
As we can expect of today’s politically correct leftist climate, feminists were offended.
Feminists found this image too “problematic” because:
