Some things in the Muslim community have been called private when they were really dangerous. We’ve told women to be patient, men to be strong, and families to stay together while people were breaking down inside them.
We’ve excused control, fear, coercion, and harm because the person prayed, taught, donated, led, or knew the right Islamic words to say
My topic is What We Call Patience: Spiritual Abuse, Domestic Violence, and the Silence That Protects Harm.
Why do victims stay quiet?Why do communities support abuse and don’t see the role they play? How does fear change the nervous system? What to do when someone says, “I’m not safe.”
“Pray about it” isn’t a safety plan.
