Nikalie’s Social Experiment

Have you guys watched the best TikTok series in 2025 (in my humble opinion)?

She singlehandedly dismantled eons of propaganda against Muslims 

Nikalie Monroe was running a social experiment, calling houses of worship to see if they would help provide baby formula for her nonexistent starving baby who hadn’t eaten since "last night".

Last update I read, she called:

• 33 churches 
• 1 Buddhist temple 
• 1 Islamic center

The result? 

• 9 churches said yes ✅
• Buddhist temple said yes ✅
• Islamic center said yes ✅

A few of those who said no mentioned they often got scammed. 

It made me reflect on my own experience. Jujur gw beberapa kali kena scam 🤣 dari beli voucher yang katanya “donasi buat anak-anak penyintas kanker untuk berobat,” 🤥 sampe ibu-ibu random di stasiun yang nyamperin gw minta duit buat ongkos pulang.

Looking back, of course I am upset. I was just trying to help. What kind of dirtbag preys on other people's emotions to gain sympathy and commit fraud?? I am a Muslim, hence I am at a crossroads: it is literally one of the pillars of Islam to give to those in need. 

Tapi ya udah. Uangnya gak seberapa. Udah bukan urusan gw mau diapain tu duit sama si scammer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Islamic Center of Charlotte taught me a lesson. Be kind. Assume the best of others. Remember what the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 

"Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales; and do not look for the others' faults.”
