How many times have you been asked something so ridiculous about Islam that it got you laughing rather than taking offense? I bet you've encountered at least one person in your lifetime who was surprised to learn you're Muslim because you are so open-minded. All thanks to Islamophobia, stereotypes around the religion are at an all-time high. What better way to face those Islamophobes than with humor?
Tanzila "Taz" Ahmed, an activist, storyteller and politico based in Los Angeles, decided to take a hilarious punch at Islamophobia in honor of Valentine's Day with her creative and handmade #MuslimVDay cards.
Having started in 2011, Ahmed's snarky #MuslimVDay cards turn the cliche' stereotypes that Muslims are often faced with into a witty pun that reflect what Islam is "not" about. If you want to get your loved one smiling this year, these cards are your answer.
"Muslims love. Muslims laugh. Muslims have snark. If these cards make you laugh, but uncomfortably, they have done their job," as mentioned on Ahmed's page on Etsy .
You can purchase the cards in packs of six on TazzyStarShop and get them shipped directly to you before Valentine's Day.
