In case you didn’t know, I wrote a book titled Debunking the Myth: A Fresh Look at Islam.
It dives into some of the most controversial topics people talk about in Islam, both Muslims and non-Muslims.

@MMangrove3252 So because Britain and America have Christian roots, Muslims living there can never truly belong? That's where I disagree. Nobody is asking Christians to give up their faith or culture. We're simply saying Muslims have the same right to live there and practise their religion.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

America belongs to Muslims, Christians, Jews, atheists and people of every other religion or belief.

The UK belongs to all of us too.

No religion owns a country. No religious group has more right to belong than another.

A country belongs to its people, regardless of what they believe or don't believe.

We all belong.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@kentuckydan I don't support killing anyone for leaving a religion. Never have. But you're treating every Muslim as though they support that. I don't, and millions of Muslims don't either. Why should we all be punished for what some people believe?

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

I appreciate the respect, brother. But I wouldn't say what makes a country great is one religion's culture. Christians, Muslims, atheists and people of other beliefs have all contributed to these societies. What matters is that nobody is forced to live by another person's religion.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@PaulParkinson6 I don't agree with Saudi Arabia banning churches. Christians should be free to worship there. But what exactly did Muslims in the West do to deserve losing their right to worship because of Saudi Arabia's actions? Why punish people for something they didn't do?

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@MaxFoerster7 You’re twisting my words. I said a country belongs to its people, not that anyone who migrates there automatically has a right to stay. Immigration laws apply to everyone. But being Muslim doesn't make someone an invader..

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@DC_Elixe Then you should have a problem with those Muslims who violate other people's rights, not every Muslim on earth. I criticise Muslims when they're wrong. I don't need to hate an entire religion to do that.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@Shared_Boat I do speak about it. But I'm not going to stop defending Muslims in the West just because Christians face discrimination in some Muslim countries. I can condemn both. Why is that so difficult to understand?

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

And I have a problem with that too. Christians should be free to build churches and worship in those countries. I cannot demand freedom for Muslims in America and Britain while making excuses for denying Christians the same freedom elsewhere. I'm not going to defend one injustice because it favours Muslims.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@jumpinandre India belongs to Indians, not Hindus alone. India has Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and people with no religion. Being the majority doesn't give you ownership of a country or make everyone else a guest.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

Islam may not have been part of America's founding, but that doesn't mean Muslims who live there today don't belong. America wasn't founded by Muslims alone, Christians alone or atheists alone. People living there today have equal rights, regardless of their religion. That's the point I'm making.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@AusMickDundee Who said Muslims own America? I said Muslims have every right to live there, just like you do. You don't have to like Islam, but what gives you the right to tell millions of people to leave a country simply because they are Muslims?

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

A Muslim has never hurt you.
You have never been a victim of terrorism.
The Muslims around you have never given you a reason to doubt their humanity.

Yet you hate Islam because of what you read online or saw in the news.

Don't you have a brain of your own? Why let hearsay shape your opinion instead of your own lived experience?

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

I'm a Muslim, and I'm not a threat to your country.

So don't ask for me to be kicked out simply because of my religion.

If you want people out, start with terrorists, hate preachers, religious extremists, and those who keep shouting Sharia law while disrespecting your country's laws.

Remove those who hate your culture, reject your way of life, and see you as a lesser human being simply because you are not Muslim.

I'm not one of them.

Being Muslim doesn't make me your enemy.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@MartinezMaBear And where does that mean Muslims should value non-Muslim lives less? I believe everyone deserves to live, regardless of what they believe. You don't have to share my religion to deserve my respect or protection.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

We are Muslims.
We value life.
No true Muslim takes an innocent life.
Extremists do.
And they do not represent us.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

Where did this 30% rule come from? Are we now saying Muslims become extremists once they reach a certain population? I condemn rape gangs, church burning and anyone forcing religion on others. I won't make excuses for them. But don't use criminals to put an entire population on trial.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

Then don't trust me because I'm Muslim. Judge me by what I stand for. I don't support killing apostates, people who criticise Islam or people simply because they're not Muslims. And I won't defend anyone who does. But don't put the actions of murderers on the heads of millions of people who have done nothing wrong.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@69BigKanga Since the beginning of time

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

@Drake9763127777 Muslims should challenge extremism, absolutely. But threatening to squash people and suggesting war is the solution is not the answer. The West and Israel don't have a monopoly on fixing Islam. War has never been a cure for extremism.

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

Either you're lying or your father had no understanding of Islam and was following some extreme interpretation of it. Islam does not permit parents to abuse their children, let alone beat them until they sustain injuries. Refusing to pray is not an excuse to brutalise a child. That's abuse, not religious upbringing.

[EX MUSLIM 🇬🇧 @dheyaa_ibrahim]

When I was a Muslim, I used to refuse to pray, and my father would constantly beat me as a result. I remember it as though it were yesterday: he would use a water hose to beat me. On one occasion, he beat me so severely that my skin turned three different colours — red, blue and then black — all simply because I refused to pray.🤷🤷

[Maliq @MasterMaliq]

If Saudi Arabia allowed churches and gave Christians the freedom to practise their religion openly, I wouldn't be surprised if some Saudis eventually became Christians.

Imagine being born into a society where you have little freedom to explore another faith, then suddenly being allowed to do so.

Some people might discover that they never really had a choice in the first place.

I sometimes wonder if the fear of losing people to other religions is part of the reason religious freedom is so restricted.
