Pharrell Williams’ song Happy is a global phenomenon, with many versions of random people from around the world (including in Israel) getting in on the act.
The latest version? Happy Muslims (in Britain)!
Ironically – yet predictably – this video is opposed by some…unhappy Muslims.
Some Brit.Muslims upload a #HappyMuslims dance video.They’re attacked all day by many other Brit.Muslims who aren’t happy they did it. Irony

If it takes haram means [Music] to prove you’re #HappyMuslims then clearly, something went wrong… — Hussain (@HussainAnwarr) April 16, 2014
Just watched the #HappyMuslims vid. Whoever came on it deserves what comes their way tbh for openly sinning

Keep proving your innocence even though you are the victim. Keep apologizing to be accepted in Western context #HappyMuslims #ColonizedMinds

I’m glad Muslims are happy, but if you don’t think something is wrong with that video… Then idk. #happymuslims

While non-Muslims are being rather supportive.
@MaajidNawaz I have been skimming the #happymuslims tweets and I saw no hostile tweets from non-Muslims (though there probably are some)
