The Daily Mail fresh from linking an extractor fan, bacon and Muslims appears to be trying to redeem itself somewhat by highlighting the issue of British women reverting to Islam following the Lauren Booth case.
The Mail naturally cant help itself with its DNA of anti Islamic sentiment so who best to write about why women revert to Islam than a women who shows a bit of leg in the guise of Eve Ahmad someone who left Islam because she was not allowed to watch Top of the Pops by her dad.
One has to say to the Daily Mail while the article ironically appears reasonably balanced the issue of UK women rejecting the decadence and permissiveness of western society is not solely about Islam as the conversion of Jonathan Aitkins daughter to Sikhism illustrates.
Eve you may like to know that Top of the Pops was ended by the BBC and as a Muslim I have never been told not to eat Chewing Gum two of the most bizarre reasons I have ever come across for anyone rejecting any faith.
Aaawww I don't know, probably the latest little fad for poor little rich girls to get their teeth into.
ReplyDeleteBefore that it was handbag dogs, ugg boots, being a white witch (Wicca), anything to pass the time of day, as most of them have servants.
The Daily Fail are such sore losers. Let it eat their hearts out.
ReplyDeleteYou're just showing how reactionary and dismissive you are by reducing her reasons for leaving Islam to "not being allowed to chew gum or watch Top of the Pops." Read it again - that's NOT what she said. Those were just small examples of the overall restrictiveness imposed on her by her father, who himself associated those reasons with religion. So to her Islam = restricted, limited.
ReplyDeleteThe real problem is Muslims creating petty rules for all behavior, and then being called "bad Muslims" (ie. bad people) if you don't follow them.
Her last paragraph stated this quite clearly, but you were too biased to acknowledge it.
