What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

Mawlid al-Nabi Mubarak to Muslims in New York City and around the world.
Today, we honor the life and enduring legacy of Prophet Muhammad (May Peace Be Upon Him), whose teachings of compassion, generosity, justice, faith, and service have inspired communities for more than 1,400 years.
Here in New York City, his example reminds us that caring for one another, embracing our diversity, and serving our communities, makes us stronger as we work to build a better New York City for everyone.
Wishing joy, peace, and blessings upon all who celebrate.
I BELIEVE ISLAM IS THE ULTIMATE FEMINISM
Prove me wrong. 💁🏼♀️
Islamic law: women sexually protected
Western culture: sexually exploited
Islamic Law: Rape can be punishable by DEATH.
Western reality: A sexual assault happens every 20 seconds and the overwhelming majority ends with NO conviction.
Islamic law: A husband is financially responsible for his wife and family completely.
Western culture: required to split the bills 50/50 in the name of “equality”.
Islamic law: women can work but DON’T HAVE to, and keep what they earn for themselves.
Western Norms: majority of women HAVE to work because at least 2 incomes are required to sustain an average household due to interest rates.
Islamic law: A woman’s money is HERS. Wages, Inheritance. Dowry. Gifts. EVERYTHING.
Western norms: in the event of a divorce… the man in entitled to 50% of all her wealth.
Islamic Law: Men must cover wedding expenses.
Western tradition: Even at her OWN wedding, the bride’s family is traditionally expected to foot the bill.
I BELIEVE ISLAM IS THE MOST PRO-WOMAN SYSTEM EVER REVEALED AND MODERN FEMINISM DOESN’T COME CLOSE.
I’m not talking about countries or culture. I’m talking about true, stand alone, Islamic law.
Show me another system that gives women a better overall package of rights, protections and financial entitlements.
I’m not a scholar and this isn’t a theological argument. Of course Islam is complete and needs no modern ideology or label. I’m simply comparing these rights with what modern feminism claims to stand for.
PROVE. ME. WRONG. 👇
