Abandoning Islam for a life in porn

The Spectator

I was born in war-torn Afghanistan during the Taliban regime and I came to the UK at the age of 9. Today, I am travelling and working as a porn actress.

Some on the right will be uncomfortable with my story because of its unabashed celebration of kinky sex. And it will be even more uncomfortable for many liberals because of their twisted understanding of tolerance and their culturally suicidal devotion to so-called diversity.

For example, no matter how much and how hard many on the left claim to fight for women’s rights, I have noticed that they usually turn a blind eye to the severe restrictions Islam imposes on women, like dress codes, corporal punishment for infringing on “Islamic values,” forced marriages, and female genital mutilation.

Take it from me: I know too much about Islam and its dark side. And I have seen first-hand how Islam, at its worst, operates, here in the West, right under our noses.

just understand that here we respect freedom of religion and hope that America's influence will help advance more enlightened views among Muslims, at least among Muslims here.

Tolerance does not mean one has to tolerate intolerance.
