Moeen Ali's management company to file a defamation case against Taslima Nasreen

England’s all-rounder Moeen Ali has been hogging all the limelight lately owing to a controversial and distasteful statement made by Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen. Taslima is known for her controversial tweets but the author went too far this time by dragging the English spinner.

The 58-year-old Mymensingh-born author took to her official Twitter handle on April 5, Monday, to slam Moeen saying that the all-rounder would definitely have joined ISIS had he not been stuck in the world of cricket. 

“If Moeen Ali were not stuck with cricket,  he would have gone to Syria to join ISIS” Taslima Nasreen tweeted. 

The statement by the Bangladeshi author faced backlash from all over the cricket fraternity as the fans and veteran cricketers slammed the lady for disgracing Moeen Ali. Many England players also supported their team-mate and criticised Taslima.

After getting subjected to hate on social media, the controversial author came up with another tweet to issue a clarification on the matter saying that her words were sarcastic and it was a ploy by the haters to defame her. She further added that many people made it an agenda to humiliate her.

“Haters know very well that my Moeen Ali tweet was sarcastic. But they made that an issue to humiliate me because I try to secularize Muslim society & I oppose Islamic fanaticism. One of the greatest tragedies of humankind is pro-women leftists support anti-women Islamists,” Nasreen wrote.
