"My parents found out about my reversion to Islam and they've been calling me a terrorist, said they don't want me in the house anymore because they won't have Muslim beliefs in their home..."
In today's world diversity should be celebrated but unfortunately we often find ourselves grappling with discrimination and bias. Today we delve into a critical issue that demands our attention, the mistreatment faced by Muslims worldwide.
This is not just about one person it's a broader concern that affects communities globally. Let's begin by sharing the story of an individual who is facing mistreatment after embracing Islam by his own parents.
"By the fact I have no criminal record, I don't drink, I don't go out and cause trouble. I wake up in the morning I work and I read books and go for a walk so they've been stealing my stuff all day and I have proof of this. They stole my car keys and hid them. Stealing the stuff that I own while also threatening to kick me out the house and I recorded footage of the house and didn't tell them of different areas in the house. I was looking for my keys and I went into one room and they just disappeared. After they were gaslighting me and calling me a terrorist and calling me Islam's this and Islam's that but I don't care, I only fear God as you can see I'm very calm and collective. They phoned the police on me so I'm going back at a cell tonight and I've done nothing just pure Islamophobia. I'm pinned up against the wall, I'm having all these influencers publicly try and defame my name. I can't run my business, I might be facing jail for standing up for my religion. What crime have I committed? And they're willing to phone the police on me and throw me in a cell because I caught them lying, Alhamdulillah I don't feel any fear..."
