Have you ever wondered why Muslims think the way they do? Do the things they do? Like wearing a scarf on their head. Or being in the news all the time for 'bad stuff.' Or who Allah is?
I get honest as a hijab-wearing Muslim woman who has a strong faith and yet takes caution with organized religion.
How my faith is greater than any human's interpretation (or misinterpretation of a religion). And what it feels like to have your faith hijacked by a group of extremists...and getting to take ownership back again.
I need a whole Part 2 to this episode since I feel like it barely scratched the surface! Would love your candid questions for a follow-up episode - send them to https://www.thelifeengineer.com/contact.html.

Nuggets of Wisdom from Shazia
- Organized religion has been used to oppress people across all religions and is a result of people wanting and wielding power negatively.
- Muslim women are not oppressed due to Islam - oppression seen today is based on cultural norms and are independent of faith. Islam liberated women in a time they were most oppressed.
- There is a higher being, The Creator that no matter what humans may do to a religion, it will never negate my Faith in the Divine.
