This is what you don’t call me:
Don’t call me an Islamist, that’s just a code-word for terrorist. Don’t call me Fundamentalist, this just means I’m not tolerant. Don’t call me a Sufi, this means I have my head in the clouds. Don’t label me Salafi, this just means I treat people like dogs. I don’t wanna be red-flagged as being anti-modernity… Continue reading
