My best friend flew half way around the world to stop me being forced into a marriage when I was 18. She called me a few days before and asked me if I was happy to get married, I hesitated, but said I was. That was enough for her to rock up 2 days later and stop it happening.

I grew up with "Zionist" being a dirty word. Something that was awful. Something that was evil, wanting to control and destroy. So it's so refreshing to meet people on Twitter who are Zionists and dispel the myth. It still gives me chills though, but I'm working on it.

It's amazing how many British Muslims are in support of the Taliban. They claim that Western media is blowing things out of proportion and making Taliban out to be worse than they are. They cheer the 'defeat' of America. I'm even being ridiculed for "believing western media."

Why are people willing to send their children to their death for the sake of "Palestine?" What actually is so special about the idea of a Muslim Palestine? Is it Al-Aqsa? Dome of the Rock? I get that. But as Muslims, we're free to visit and worship there, so what is the issue?

Is this how men behave in a culture where women are forced to cover and be segregated? The moment a woman is amongst the men, they show their true colours and maul her like animals. This is the kind of barbaric behaviour that modesty culture creates.
On Pakistan's independence day on the 14th August, 2021, a lady TikToker went to film the event at Lahore's Greater Iqbal Park.
She was molested, groped, assaulted, stripped, harassed & robbed by literally hundreds of men.
Police arrested 126 from the video evidence.
