About
Hi, my name’s Ala and I’m a heretic. I once identified as a second-generation Iraqi exile before I realised how ridiculous that was. I’m not an exile, nor a patriot, but a Tory-hater with an inherently rootless existence, but aren’t we all? I blog about things that make me mad! Like misogyny, discrimination and Britain’s Got Talent.
hi, are you the same Ala Abbas who wrote the article ‘losing my hijab’
if yes, then i just wanted to thank you for a great article, i agree with you 100%
i was born into a muslim community, but i dont like the way most muslims treat women, and i as a guy deeply respect women and often argue for women rights, with my muslim friends and relatives .
also i read about you visiting family in Iraq, you dont happen to be Kurdish do you?
