Epidemic of Muslim Porn Consumption

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

Like almost every episode this month, there’s explicit content so please be mindful of tiny ears within listening range.
Dr. Madiha Tahseen from The Family & Youth Institute joins us today to discuss what The FYI research has learned about porn consumption in the Muslim American community, its effects, and how to prevent it. There are some super surprising facts to learn today, not the least of which is  a spike in Muslim porn viewership during the pandemic, but shocking to us: religious kids watch porn, too. 
This is neurological issue as well as a behavioral issue, so please listen in to find out how to help Muslim children and family members avoid the path to porn addiction. The first step is to listen to this episode, and the second, per Dr. Tahseen is DON’T FREAK OUT (loosely translated). No Kitty Catty about it ;).
What are porn consumption tells, resources if porn is a problem in your Muslim household, treatments, and prevention? It’s all in this episode and the Shownotes on your podcast app.
Dropping at 6pm EST tonight on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, ask Alexa, or click on our link in bio. Share this episode with your momcrew to add to their mommying toolkit!
