"Religion is important to a lot of people, it isn't important to me but I need to respect that it is important to others.”
“My friend told me she was receiving hate comments on her TikTok that got 247,000 views… My friend is Muslim and filmed herself dancing with her friend. The comments were from other Muslims saying that the dance was inappropriate, her clothes showed her body figure and that this was disrespectful to Allah. I didn’t respond to this nor did I report this because I am not Muslim, so it really isn’t my place to report or defend my friend (even though I wish I could) when I am not educated on the religion… I still feel just as confused, it’s a really difficult situation. Religion is important to a lot of people, it isn’t important to me but I need to respect that it is important to others.” – Female, 25, QLD - Demi
