The personal and social impacts of leaving Islam | Aliyah Saleem | TEDxDurhamUniversity

"It's about allowing people to feel like they can be themselves."
In her beautiful talk titled 'The personal and social impacts of leaving Islam,' Aliyah Saleem explores the difficulties of letting go of your faith and the problems that come with it. She traces the historical problems that come with leaving religion and the lack of terminologies and vocabulary within this topic. The way we can move forward is to understand that this is a social issue.

@Zohaib Bhutto After the annihilation of Western "Liberals" (note the scare quotes, arrogant stupidity is their USP). Liberalism is highly desirable and is in danger of becoming extinct whereas vacuous, virtue signaling "Liberalism" is just another form of toxic tribalism.

Congatulations for your enlightment 🙏

[@MacrobianNomad]

Why would TED upload a video if they're so against the topic? So weird the conspiratorial narratives being spouted in the comments, bad audio and terrible mics can happen, thus the realisation towards the final third as Aliyah is given a microphone and the audio improves it. P.S. An Atheist former Muslim who's proud of Aliyah Saleem making her voice heard, just a bomber that the audio was terrible. No need for the conspiracies guys.

[@afifkhaja]
