Not everyone in the professional wrestling industry knows that I’m a Muslim. They know that my name is Taufik, but they didn’t know my religion point of views because I don’t want to show it. I admit that I lost my way with my religion for a while, I know that I’m not a perfect Muslim and for sure that I’m not those kinds of extremist who shamefully called themselves a Muslim. However, for the past few weeks the fans have been giving me a hard time with their jeering and such that I felt that I was about to lose my mind. I thought I couldn't handle it but the longer I think about it, the more pissed off I’ll get.
It goes back to the date: Saturday 14/7/2012
I was walking in the streets where there was an incident that really opens my eyes. The week that the fans started jeering me, I was walking in the streets; I saw a homeless man sleeping in the corner as there’s was nothing but his clothes and a tin can that was filled with other people spare changes. I later walk to the homeless man and put in some cash as a good will. After I left, I saw a family that looks like they live in the trailer pass by the homeless guy, the dad after that asked the son to go, and he proceeded to take the tin can and after he took the can, the whole family quickly left the site. I was shocked as I followed them around, and as they were counting the loot, I stand behind them and tap on the dad shoulder.
Taufik: “Hey there, is that how you teach your child?”
The dad turns around and stands up while the wife kept counting the money.
Dad: “So? What the fuck is your problem then? I teach my child the way I want to teach them to so get the fuck off before I show my child how to fight.”
I still stood on my ground and didn't even move an inch of muscle as I keep staring at him. I then reply to what he has to say.
Taufik: “Well why are you doing this to your child? You’re setting a bad example in front of your child, and you’re proud of it? What kind of a man are you? That homeless man deserves your trailer home as he will appreciate it more than you’ll ever will.”
The dad then gives me a disgust look on his face as he figures something out about me.
Dad: “I’ll be damned; he’s a Muslim honey. You know mister; you’re just like my neighbor who is a Muslim, and it irritates me. What I think about your Islamic value is nothing but bullshit and the further I think about it, the more I think you're a terrorist.”
I then grab his shirt and pull him towards me as I speak in a harsh tone.
Taufik: “Listen here you piece of garbage low life scumbag. I’m not a terrorist and don't ever think that all Muslims, here is a terrorist. People like them got lost in direction because of someone manipulating their minds, those who do that is nothing but an Extremist, and they should never be stood on the same level with people like us who is nothing but innocent.”
I then let him go when I saw the kid crying, and they quickly run away while still holding the money, I didn't chase them as I went back to the hotel.

Present Day: Wednesday 25/7/2012
I was still wondering why the fans are jeering at me when Camilla showed me something that I couldn't believe. The incident that happened the other day went viral when someone took a picture and put up a false report stating:
“Muslim Wrestler Threatens Citizen”
“Earlier tonight we got a report from an anonymous source by the nickname of HerpDerp as he saw an incident between a Muslim Wrestler with very own US citizen, HerpDerp was walking along the streets as he saw the incident happening and here’s what he could recall…”
I just went shocked and berserk when the article came out. I was being framed as I could recall the incident clearly as I wasn't threatening them, that jackass actually says something about my religion. Camilla then tries to calm me down as she gives me a glass of water, but I reject it.
Taufik: “No. I’m fasting remember?”
Camilla forgets that I was fasting for thirty days as it is the time of the year where I have to fast. She then put it aside as she speaks.
Camilla: “I’m sorry sweetie; I forgot about it. Well, the article is just uncalled for.”
Taufik: “I know that, they are just racist and are low life people who don’t see the other side of the story. I guess this is America huh? Just like what someone has said before. They hate the Arabs.”
Camilla then went silent as she somewhat agreed to it before continuing to talk.
Camilla: “Well right now Taufik, we need to make our way to the Wrestling Unleashed podcast show and have a good time alright.”
I nod my head in agreement as I went out of the room to calm myself down as the scene fades to black.

The Day after MNME – Tuesday 31/7/2012
I was walking in the same streets where the incident happened but this time the MPW cameras are there for me doing my promo. I was looking at the spot where the picture was taken as they roll the camera, and I start to speak.
Taufik: “You guys must be thinking, why Taufik why? Why would a guy like me turn my back on my fans? The actual question should be. Why did the fans turn their back on me? I have given my all for the past three years in this business and when the fans jeering the hell out of me out of the blue, I know that something is wrong here, and I tend to find out the reason and what I found out actually disgust me.”
I then took out a piece of paper that appears to be an article about the incident as I speak about it.
Taufik: “An internet article wrote by a stupid nickname, I might add that called him or herself HerpDerp and the title of the Article is called, “Muslim Wrestler threatens Citizen.” The name of the article itself makes me sick. This article says that on this very spot, I threaten a fellow US citizen by grabbing their neck. Yes, that did happen and I’m not going to lie to you but this isn’t a complete story. The reason I did that is because the family that took the money of a sleeping beggar and almost got away before I stop them and that no good son of a bitch makes fun of my religion, and no one should make fun of other values and especially the Islamic value.”
Taufik: “My name is Muhammad Taufik, I’ve now become a change man and until we meet again assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.”
I walk way not before spitting on the remains of the paper as the scene fades to black.
