Vilified Over A Sip Of Bubbly

So how many articles do you think would be enough about a young woman, who was being criticised by her fellow Muslims as unrepresentative of them? One, two, three? Nope, the Daily Telegraph has dedicated four different articles including an editorial.

So what has caused all the outrage? Well a few Muslims have dared voice their concern over a so-called representative who drinks alcohol and doesn't wear the hijab.

I mean how dare they expect that a media-appointed Islamic leader should set an example.

Here's the thing, if she wants to drink that's fine just don't hold yourself up as being representative of Muslims.

We are told Iktimal Hage-Ali has done alot of good work out there, fantastic, keep it up but don't undo that good work by prentending you are something that you are not.

For the record, I wish her luck and congratulate her for her Australian of the Year nomination but her nomination should be due to the work that she has done, not her representation of the Muslim community.

People in certain roles have certain responsibilities and unless they uphold them then they shouldn't be in those positions.
