Apostate Aladdin

Apostate Aladdin is an atheist ex-Muslim YouTuber.
==Personal life==
Aladdin grew up in a moderate Sunni Muslim family in Saudi Arabia. Arabic is his first language. Growing up, he had questions about the “fairness” of the theology, including about free will. His de-conversion was a gradual process. For some time, it was unsafe for him to speak about leaving Islam. He has two cats.
Aladdin has often been asked if he is gay. He has deliberately kept the answer vague, for a variety of reasons.
==YouTube==
Aladdin always wears a mask in his videos, to preserve his own and others’ anonymity.
In June 2021, Aladdin started Shisha With Aladdin, a livestream series where he speaks to a guest. Many guests are also ex-Muslim.
At the end of 2021, Aladdin suspended his call-in streams with Muslims, due to receiving abuse. He described it as “extremely difficult to co-exist with them as an ex-muslim.”
===Apostate Prophet===
Aladdin posted a video on March 8th, 2024 titled "The DARK side of anti-Islam YouTube" in which he discusses, among others, Apostate Prophet and, by proxy, David Wood. The video outlined several criticisms, including AP's tone of voice when addressing Muslims and his callous lack of empathy towards victims of the Palestine-Israel conflict especially following the attack on October 7th, 2023. Aladdin chose to post this video not just to express his disagreements with AP but to talk about the concerning effect of AP's wide reach with this kind of rhetoric. Aladdin was also appalled with the unapologetic support of the IDF and claims that they should be harsher towards Hamas.
Since this video, AP and David Wood have addressed him in multiple streams, often in mocking and dismissive ways. Fans also expressed hate and concern towards Aladdin for this harsh rhetoric towards another Exmuslim content creator. He addresses these controversies in a video titled "Correcting my MISTAKE with Apostate Prophet" posted on July 29th, 2024. This video was meant to correct a small factual error while addressing the response and backlash to his previous video concerning Apostate Prophet, as well as explaining how AP's response further solidified his main point. He also addressed the reason why he posted a follow-up 4 months later and that he does not plan on posting even more videos on this topic.
==Trivia==
