In the video below is my chat with Yasmeena Ali. Yasmeena is a feminist who is an erotic nude model, atheist, vegan, and a photographer. We discuss her childhood transitioning from Taliban Afghanistan to the United Kingdom; leaving Islam; becoming an Ex-Muslim; death threats from family; hijabi porn; sensuality versus sexuality, etc. It was a wonderful conversation.
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.
The video below is based on an article I have written previously. It is about annoying and common remarks Muslims say to Ex-Muslims

In the video below I go into a famous quote from the Quran Muslims refer to after terror attacks. Here’s a hint: they severely misquote it. I also wrote about this verse here. Enjoy!
In this video I chat with my good friend Yasmine on her autobiography! Yasmine’s work can be found here.
During the month of Ramadan, a state owned fuel company in Jakarta, Indonesia is offering two liters of free petrol per chapter read to motorcyclists. There are prayer rooms set up in the gas stations to accommodate this endeavor. The program organizers say the goal is to promote Islam in society. Click for more!
There is a famous hadith commonly quoted by Muslims on Ramadan. The hadith goes as follows:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1899)
According to this Hadith, the devils are chained. The devils are what causes evil desires and actions. By this logic: [the Islamic version of] evil is chained.
But is it really?

I never chose to be Muslim. Most of us don’t even if we do defend it any chance we get. I was a big defender.
We’re taught at an early age that there is no god but Allah. Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.
We’re taught that Allah is the greatest, creator of everything, and that it’s haram to ask why or how, or to deny this.
We’re taught that it’s better not to know some things, because knowledge can be bad. Click to keep reading!
The Twitter page @exmuslimbecause began to revive the #exmuslimbecause. As expected, Muslims did not appreciate this hashtag very much because it offended their faith. So they began to tweet sarcastic remarks under the #. Others attempted to disagree with and challenge the #.
One young woman and I had a brief exchange in the midst of this. I will paste the screen shots below. I kept her username and photo out to maintain her anonymity because I would much rather focus on discussing her thought than single her out and bully her. #realtalk Click for more!
