. But Muslims continue to "request" that I change what has always been mine to make them feel comfortable. No thanks, I am Sarah Haider.
I don't normally use profanity, but it's my fucking name and I'm not changing it. It doesn't belong to any religion but it does belong to me

@SarahTheHaider ironic how the same religion you love to bash actually teaches you to keep your name even after marriage or conversion. -
@raptorsjays786 What? This wasn't a "teaching" of Islam, it's my decision. And I will keep my maiden name because I'm a feminist. -
@SarahTheHaider So Islam doesn't teach that?? Maybe it's true. You don't know too much about Islam. -
@raptorsjays786 Which is why all the vast majority of converts to Islam don't change their previous names, correct? -
@raptorsjays786 Also, by that fantastic logic, the only reason I don't kill and rape is because Islam taught me not too. -
@SarahTheHaider well I'm glad you kept the positive teachings you learned.

@SarahTheHaider Tell me about it. Get this all the time!https://twitter.com/aliamjadrizvi/status/676280020009025536 … -
. Most wouldn't guess - we are named after the same guy! Cousin of Muhammad, named "Ali", titled "Haider" meaning "Lion"
@aliamjadrizvi -
@aliamjadrizvi We are basically twins. -
@SarahTheHaider@aliamjadrizvi wouldn't it bother you guys more if someone called you a Muslim? -
@raptorsjays786@SarahTheHaider Not always. Sometimes it exposes them to idea that ppl from Muslim backgrounds CAN be like us. Doesn't hurt. -
@aliamjadrizvi@SarahTheHaider by "us" are you referring to those who view Islam in an abnormal way?

@SarahTheHaider Atheists from Christian cultures don't change their names from Luke, John, James, Mark etc. Odd to say you should. -
@Goldrushcomic Another standard applied to ex-Muslims in particular.

@SarahTheHaider the idea of an ex Muslim is too much to behold. Their brain can't even... -
@marazavi3k I like your name, buddy. :) -
@SarahTheHaider thx. Been called a Zionist, false profile etc. Just not an apostate. That doesn't happen with Islam and Muslims. Lol

@SarahTheHaider What's wrong with Haider or Ali anyways though? Muslim? Lol. The only people who should change their names are Mohammads. -
@ConicoTZ Not at all. Muhammads who are ex-Muslim should especially keep their name.
