Hanifa Clarifies Why She Took Social Media Break

Activist Hanifa Farsafi on Wednesday, October 16, refuted claims that she took a break from X due to negative responses from a section of users following her comments regarding Muslim leaders on Monday, October 14.

In a statement, Hanifa clarified that her break from X was not due to the insults she received.

“I did not deactivate because of the individuals I engaged with the other day. I truly appreciate the concern and support, but I’m not a victim; I equally fought them. ” Hanifa clarified.

Earlier on X, renowned activist Boniface Mwangi explained on October 15 why Hanifa had deactivated her official X account after spending the better part of Monday, October 14, responding to those who criticized her for her comments on Muslim leaders.

Hanifa’s social media break explained

Mwangi stated that Hanifa deactivated her account to take a wellness break and that she would return to the platform afterwards.

Hanifa has for a while accused some Sheikhs of allegedly defiling minors which have attracted mixed reactions from the public especially those from the Islamic religion.

The conversation of Islami leaders came up after Hanifa shared a video of a Sheikh online purporting to say that Allah forgives every sin if the person repents even if the person is a sexual offender.

Hanifa responded to the video by saying, ‘Allah forgives every sin if the person repents, but isn’t one of the conditions that the victim accepts it first? He’s peddling the notion that such huge crimes and sins can be casually forgiven!’

An X user named Salma Mohammed responded to Hanifa’s claims, saying, “Not gonna comment much. All I wanna say is, sister, you are a high-profile figure. Just try to stay within boundaries, and that will help you gain more respect from both sides.”

Another user named Amed said, “Not everyone can understand what the sheikh explained unless you are gifted. We call it wisdom knowledge.”

Farsafi vows to deal with sexual offenders

However, other social media users supported her comments.

A user named Bin Suleim said, “This time you’re right, sis. God forgives if you’ve wronged Him and repent, but if you’ve wronged someone, you must seek their forgiveness or return what you took.

If it was blood, you must face punishment unless the person, or if they’re dead, their next of kin forgives you.”

Following sexual offences towards minors by allegedly Muslim religious leaders, Farsafi has vowed to expose such acts.

“Now, I have made it my mission to expose every paedophile hiding behind religion. By Allah, I will go after each and every one of them no matter how long it takes and what I go through. Paedophiles protect each other, and their words are the rule of law in Northeastern.

We have so many cases of children being molested and on the rise being boys too. None of them get to see the light of the day. But not anymore, I will even be posting their mugshots,” Hanifa vowed.
