Your Daily Muslim #675: Alaa Bader Abdullah al-Hashemi
Welcome to Muslimah Week 2015 on YDM! Every year, Muslimah Week comes around once or twice to try to fix the gender disparity of people featured on this site. Turns out a patriarchal religion doesn’t let women have the spotlight very often. Emirati Muslimah Alaa Bader Abdullah al-Hashemi is the latest in a long line […]
Your Daily Muslim #621: Wedad Naser Lootah
This piece contains adult thematic material. Reader discretion is advised. Full-time ninja/family counselor Wedad Naser Lootah is best known for her book, Top Secret: Sexual Guidance for Married Couples, in which she caused all sorts of controversy across the globe.

Recently, on a vacation to Saudi Arabia, al Gala and two other men were detained and ordered to leave the country because they were […]
Your Daily Muslim: Mustafa Muslim
Mustafa Muslim is a seventh-century savage who somehow got a PhD, likely in the subject of Hitler-worship. Anyway, Muslim is a professor at al-Shariqa University (black female readers, don’t let that name inspire the name of your next child) in the United Arab Emirates. He’s also super old and probably has to clutch his colostomy […]
