We also read an interview with a young gay Muslim man called Sohail Ahmed in the BBC, which felt very relevant.
Ahmed said this,
It sounded really paradoxical, but I actually became more radical in an attempt to cure myself of homosexuality.
Ahmed also remembers feeling that he himself was evil, or that his homosexuality was a punishment from God for something he had done.
He said,
It just increased my hatred for myself and other gay people.
Ahmed says he even considered staging a terrorist attack himself.
I think that makes perfect sense.
Yeah, it does.
I guess maybe he means now in hindsight if it was paradoxical for him to feel like going closer to the thing that's telling you that what you're feeling is sick and wrong and evil.
But yeah.
I think whether it's religion or whether it's just society telling you that what you're feeling is wrong and gross and sick, I can absolutely understand why you would have that internalized homophobia.
It's the next step that comes with this particular ideology, though, that is then go blow some people up or go kill some people.
Because of that, that seems to take it a step further than is ideal.
The FBI questioned Salman for more than 15 hours.
And they did these interviews before she was formally accused, so not a single second of those 15 hours was actually recorded.
She also had no lawyer present.
Now, when it came to the trial, the prosecution pointed to a written confession from the day of the shooting.
The confession was actually written by an FBI agent, but it was signed by Salman.
And the whole thing is written in the first person, so from Salman's point of view.
