=== Moeen Ali === In a 2021 tweet about British cricketer [[Moeen Ali]] she said, <blockquote>If [[Moeen Ali]] were not stuck with cricket, he would have gone to Syria to join [[Islamic State|ISIS]].</blockquote>She faced significant criticism because of this tweet including Moeen's teammates [[Jofra Archer]], [[Sam Billings]] and [[Saqib Mahmood]]. Replying to Nasreen's original tweet, [[Jofra Archer|Archer]] wrote, "Are you okay? I don't think you're okay". [[Saqib Mahmood]] wrote, "Can't believe this. Disgusting tweet. Disgusting individual". She later justified her tweet with another tweet,<blockquote>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.</blockquote>[[Jofra Archer|Archer]] also blasted Nasreen's attempt at damage control with her second tweet. "Sarcastic? No one is laughing, not even yourself, the least you can do is delete the tweet," Archer wrote. [[Moeen Ali|Moeen Ali's]] father Munir said,<blockquote>If she looks into a mirror, she will know what she tweeted is what is fundamentalist β a vicious stereotype against a Muslim person, a clearly Islamophobic statement. Someone who doesn't have self-respect and respect for others can only stoop to this level.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-04-07 |title=Hurt and shocked to read Taslima Nasreen's vile remark against my son, says Moeen Ali's father Munir |url=https://www.crictracker.com/hurt-and-shocked-to-read-taslima-nasreens-vile-remark-against-my-son-says-moeen-alis-father-munir/ |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=CricTracker |language=en}}</ref></blockquote>She later deleted her original tweet.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Explained {{!}} The Taslima Nasreen-Moeen Ali controversy |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/cricket/explained-the-taslima-nasreen-moeen-ali-controversy-971401.html |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=England Cricketers Slam Taslima Nasreen For "Disgusting" Tweet On Moeen Ali {{!}} Cricket News |url=https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/england-cricketers-rally-behind-moeen-ali-after-taslima-nasreens-controversial-tweet-2408091 |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=NDTVSports.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Nasreen |first=Taslima |title=Second Tweet by Taslima Nasrin |url=https://x.com/taslimanasreen/status/1379396677514231810 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250218105209/https://x.com/taslimanasreen/status/1379396677514231810 |archive-date=2025-02-18 |website=[[Twitter|X.com]]}}</ref>
