Allah For Sale - Neoliberalism, Islam & Muslim Diaspora

This video is not about particular individuals or organisations, it is a critical reflection about the systems that influence us. This is a work out of love for understanding the paradoxes we have all been through, and for trying to improve as a community. A reflection on the concept of power, and if money or fame are really paths to liberation.
