The Straight Path

Assalamu Alaikum I'm Lizzie Millner (UK) 🇬🇧

"I am a Convert/Revert to Islam and I live in the town I grow up in. I'm white and there's not that many Muslims here. I've been a Muslim and am wearing Hijab for many years now and I love wearing it but I find it a challenge nearly everyday with the fear that something will happen to me. Alhamdulillah nothing bad did happen.

May Allah protect me. I get so many looks from people, when I'm out and about. I've had people come up to me and ask me about my Hijab and when I tell them that it's totally my choice to wear it, that no-one is forcing me, they are so shocked and surprised. It's just the way how the media in my country are prorating women Converts to Islam and Muslim women who wear the Hijab. All my friends and family can see that I'm still the same person wearing it. My Hijab does free me, I'm doing what Allah tells me to do and I'm proud to be a Muslim."

France: Muslim Man Murdered, Stabbed Over 40 Times In Mosque

Muslim worshipper, Aboubakr, was stabbed to death in a horrific and Islamophobic attack in La Grande Combe Mosque in the Gard region of southern France.

The attacker stabbed the worshipper over 40 times then filmed him with a mobile phone while shouting insults at Allah and Islam, before fleeing the scene.

The victim was teaching the suspect how to pray, who had feigned a desire to Convert to Islam. When the victim went into prostration position, the suspect launched his brutal attack and stabbed him over 40 times.

The body of the victim was only discovered later in the morning when other worshippers arrived at the mosque for Friday prayers.

The suspect, Olivier H, has been identified as a French citizen of Bosnian origin who is not a Muslim.

The authorities are hunting the suspect.
