Faizan Ansari’s Statement Sparks Debate
In his video, Ansari said, “Hello guys, how are you all? I am Faizan Ansari. There is a girl who is ruining the name of Muslims, not only in India but across the world. She herself says that she does not believe in the Quran, she does not believe in Islam, and she does not believe in the Muslim religion. Her name was Muslim till now, Uorfi Javed. She is a very bad girl who has ruined the name of Muslims across the world, and every Muslim abuses her.”
He also claimed to have submitted a letter to a Maulana and asked his followers to stop calling her Uorfi Javed, saying she had no place in the Muslim community.
