02/26/16 • 90 min

In this Episode we chat with the excellent Aliyah Saleem. Ex-Muslim activist, and co-founder of http://faithtofaithless.com/ . We talk to her about being seduced by the extremist ideology of Islamic school Al Huda, bizarre notions of women's empowerment within this school. It's also the same institute that Tashfeen Malik, the San Bernardino shooter attended. We discussed hijabs, and niqabs...the struggle of taking off the hijab when it's been a part of your life for so long. You can watch Aliyah's wonderful video on 'removing the hijab' for women who are thinking about it, questioning here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11D6Xddz_j4you can connect with her on Twitter @Ali_Jones89 , with me Eiynah @nicemangos and Paul @PaulSating
