Good Muslim, Bad Muslim (stylized #GoodMuslimBadMuslim) is a comedy podcast hosted by two Muslim women about being a Muslim woman in America.[2]

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.[3] The hosts are creating the podcast in hopes that it creates a positive change in Muslim communities,[4] and address Islamophobia in America.[5] Topics explored by the podcast are broad in subject matter.[6] 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.[7]

Zahra Noorbakhsh comes from a Persian-American family that moved to the states in the 1980s.[8]
