When a right wing politician tried to corner her, UK Member of Parliament Naz Shah delivered a definitive response about her faith and her past. In this special edition of The MPAC® Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati, guest host Lorraine Ali hears how true Islamic values directly oppose the abuse and forced marriages often mistakenly blamed on religion.
