Taslima Nasreen later deleted that post and wrote in a separate tweet that she was being sarcastic . 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, wrote Taslima Nasreen.
