Let’s play a game: Picture a Muslim woman. If you imagined someone oppressed, silent, or head-to-toe in black, congrats, you’ve been scammed by the algorithm. In this episode, host Bree Shaaban smashes three myths with the energy of a TikTok expose:

1️⃣ Hijab: Why the “oppressed scarf” narrative is as fake as slow-mo hair-flips in movies. 2️⃣ Women’s Rights: How Islam gave women property, divorce, and last-name rights more than 1000 years before the West. 3️⃣ Muslim ≠ Arab: Only 20% of Muslims are Arab, so why does your brain default to camels and deserts?

Featuring:

  • The real stats on Muslim diversity (yes, non-Arab Muslims like Bree exist).

  • How hijabis own more scarves than shoes (oppression? Please).

  • Why Muslim women were running universities while Europe debated if they had souls.
