rights front: On every human rights front, you will find an internal battle within Islamic society, according to NOW Magazine. There are those who push for LGBT inclusion, and those who push to keep things non-inclusive. Modernity, science and internet-connectivity take us forward and water down strict adherence to religion – but they also trigger reactionary pushback. If you're a liberal, ex-Muslim atheist like I am, you're likely to find yourself caught in a 'hate sandwich.' On the one hand, you're ostracized and shamed by conservatives in your own community for fighting for equality, progress and freedom from religion. One side thinks you're not Muslim enough. On the other hand, you're probably also a target of xenophobic anti-Muslim bigotry, the product of increasing anti-immigrant hate in these Trumpian times.
