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
At least she couldn’t say your problem is that you just don’t know enough Muslims like she did with Sam.
I did find it so condescending when she said I’ll invite you to a dinner so you can meet nice Muslims. Ffs. Is Sam running around saying there are no nice Muslims? He is addressing an extremism problem, so when he does, he talks about the problematic Muslims naturally!
She stays within the tight bounds of PC.
That would be such an interesting conversation! Why not do it?
