One Direction's Zayn Malik Accused Of Trying To 'Pimp Islam' To Young American Fans

One Direction’s Zayn Malik has come under fire from a (particularly stupid) right-wing blogger in America – who’s accused the singing star of ‘pimping Islam’ to younger, more impressionable Americans.
The boyband have absolutely exploded over in America and are one of the biggest groups of the moment with their debut album ‘Up All Night’ topping the Billboard charts. However, Debbie Schlussel, a blogger in the states, has accused 1D’s Zayn Malik of using their world domination as a means to preach Islam and convert young girls – and has advised parents to ‘keep their daughters away’ from the group.
“If you have young daughters, then you know that the boy band, ‘One Direction,’ is all the rage to young girls around the world, especially in the United States,” the right-winger wrote. “As big, if not bigger than Justin Bieber. Recently, President Obama’s daughter, Malia, was photographed attending their Washington, DC-area concert. And screaming tween and teen girls greet them all over America.
“But, even if you’ve heard of the band, you probably don’t know that one of its members, Zayn Malik, is pimping Islam on your kids. That’s in addition to his Arabic tattoos and frequent donning of the keffiyeh, the official garb of Islamic terrorism.”
She added: “He knows the power he has over these mindless girls and is using that influence to preach the Islamic faith. It's dangerous.”
