The fact that you’re not obsessed when your sisters are being arrested for not wearing a cloth on their head is pretty disheartening, to be honest. Perhaps it wasn’t an issue for you in your Liberal European home, but not all of us had an upbringing like yours. 4
Finally, youve won 2 Emmys and seem to be doing pretty well getting your voice out. So it’s strange for you to lament that @MaajidNawaz & Ayaan get the microphone was really strange. Ayaan and Maajid are being demonized and being put on hate lists while you’re being celebrated

Deeyah, you really need to acknowledge that you have had a privileged upbringing in a Muslim liberal European home and you are by far in the minority. And when you try to sell it as the majority it is both dishonest and attempts to erase all our experiences. Sam was 100% right. 6
Having said all that, I’m pretty sure that if we had a conversation, we’d probably agree on more than we disagree on. And if not, at least it would be civil and pleasant. I have a lot of respect and gratitude for the work she does in general.
Also, she makes this unfair assumption that we talk about the hijab/niqab honor killings,violence etc because we want to paint Islam in a bad light NOT because we actually care about human suffering. Interesting assumption considering she did a doc on honor killings in Islam.
Did she make that doc in order to make Muslims look bad? No. Of course not. I would not assume that malicious intent from her. I recognize her motives. Sad that she’s happy to assume that intent about us though, and to assume the worst motives.pic.twitter.com/UVdbcHns7L
I’m surprised she has a problem with Maajid as they seem to have similar beliefs. Although the fact that she’s from Norway and Maajid is from the UK, which has the West’s most extremist Muslim community, she may not totally grasp the urgency with which he speaks.
