Good Muslim, Bad Muslim (stylized #GoodMuslimBadMuslim) is a comedy podcast hosted by two Muslim women about being a Muslim woman in America.[1]

Background

Zahra Noorbakhsh and Tanzila Ahmed met on a book tour for Love, InshAllah. They started a running joke on Twitter that eventually led to the creation of the podcast.[2] The hosts are creating the podcast in hopes that it creates a positive change in Muslim communities,[3] and address Islamophobia in America.[4] Topics explored by the podcast are broad in subject matter.[5] The hosts discuss how they are viewed as "bad" by Muslim communities for not being religious enough, but they are viewed as "good" by non-Muslims for being less religious.[6]

Zahra Noorbakhsh comes from a Persian-American family that moved to the states in the 1980s.[7]
