    ted talk really proves that you can have a show without knowing what you talk about

    As a Muslim, the receipts you should bring should be from the Quran and sunnah. Otherwise, you are not speaking for Islam, but from your desires.

    This is proof that just cuz someone has a Ted talk doesn’t mean they have any idea what they’re talking about 😂😂😂

    It is in fact haram to question if another Muslim is truly Muslim

    "Haram is haram, even if everyone is doing it. Halal is halal, even if no one is doing it."

    As a Muslim, we are allowed to disagree with her lifestyle choices. But, we should not humiliate her by badmouthing her in any way whatsoever; this is un-Islamic. The comments section here is upsetting. The Ummah needs help.

    You're not even a Muslim, you're creating a whole new religion

    The hijab/t-shirt ensemble should have been enough to inform everyone right at the beginning that the entire talk was cap lol
