Mufassil Islam, the British Bangladeshi lawyer, journalist, and online activist who gained notoriety for his bold stance against attempts to impose Sharia law and radical Islam in the West, has recently caused a stir by announcing that he has rejoined the Islamic faith. The lawyer, who was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, had previously renounced the Islamic religion in 2016, blaming Islamist extremism for his apostasy.
Islam's decision to rejoin the religion has been met with widespread criticism and controversy. Many have accused Islam of being a "fairweather Muslim," claiming that he only turns to Islam when it is convenient or beneficial for him. His views on women's rights, democracy, and freedom of expression have also been controversial and have sparked heated debates on social media.
Others have pointed out the hypocrisy of Islam's previous criticisms of Islamism and religious extremism, wondering how he can now reconcile these views with his decision to embrace the faith once again.
Many have also questioned Islam's motives for rejoining Islam, speculating that it may be a ploy to gain support or appeal to a wider audience. Some have even gone so far as to accuse Islam of being a "sellout," suggesting that he has betrayed the principles he previously stood for in order to further his own interests.
Islam has faced criticism for his controversial views and actions in the past, and his decision to rejoin Islam has only added to the backlash and criticism he has faced. It remains to be seen how his decision will impact his career and public image moving forward.
