Tarek Fatah’s death being celebrated shows Muslim community doesn’t engage with criticism
Fatah’s writings were marked by a deep concern for the future of Islam, its relationship with the West and India. But he faced opposition from many Muslims.
“I'm Muslim but don't wear a headscarf. Stop using hijabs as a tool for ‘solidarity.’
When non-Muslim women wear headscarves, they do a disservice to Muslim women who choose not to veil. Non-Muslim allies can't define Muslim womanhood.”
