"I started with this hadith 'cause I want to show that this is NOT to judge other Muslims. Everyone is different & we have been taught to not judge 'cause only Allah subhanahu w ta'alaa can judge.
"However I'm here to talk about the harmful & disrespectful Muslim representation in the book "take a hint dani brown"
"PLEASE READ THE SLIDES FIRST THEN CONTINUE.
"Now to address the "some Muslims are like that" issue. I know that, & u can do whatever u want, its between u & Allah. If the author was a Muslim speaking from experience I'd also not say anything. However, they aren't.
"Imagine choosing a minority to represent but then only writing characters within it that YOU /who's not included in it/ relate to the most. Ones that are minorities 'cause of their religion & writing them NOT practicing the religion they're a minority FOR. That implicates that you'll only write about Muslims if they disregard the faith & principles, they receive prejudice for, to follow yours instead. How does no one see how problematic that is?
