Your Daily Muslim #696: Kamel Mohammed
Ghana’s National Deputy Chief Imam, sheikh Kamel Mohammed, recently caused controversy when he shared his thoughts on same-sex marriage. Insecure in his own marriage, Mohammed believed allowing gays would have drastic societal consequences. Because marriages somehow affect people other than the parties involved. Mohammed advised Ghana’s president to avoid legalizing same-sex marriage. He called it […]
Your Daily Muslim #694: Muhammad Junaid Jutt
Pakistani Muslim Muhammad Junaid “Jaizy” Jutt is yet another foamer from the Messages of Peace section I felt deserved his own piece. What caused his frothing eruption?

Your Daily Muslim #693: Nurashikin Salim (Part 4)
(Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3) By now, this monster needs no introduction. “It’s convenient for us to put the blame on others while in fact, we are partly at fault too,” rape apologist Salim wrote. “Remember that doesn’t matter if you commit a sexual act voluntarily or non-voluntarily, you should repent right […]

Your Daily Muslim #688: Akhunzada Saifoor Shah
Pakistani Muslim Akhunzada Saifoor Shah is really good at keeping his head in the sand.

When Shah found a Facebook counterjihad page called I Hate Islam […]
Your Daily Muslim #683: Sohail Qureshi
Every so often, a celebrity comes out in favor of pseudoscience. However, even Jim Carrey’s recent anti-vax tirade pales in comparison to the bullshit peddled by celebrated Pakistani doctor Sohail Qureshi. A devout Muslim, Qureshi makes sure to focus on faith when performing his healing works at the clinic he owns. As I’m sure you […]
