On episode 117 of American Sex Podcast, we talk religion, sex, and politics with “the UK’s first Muslim Porn star,” Sahara Knite. We learn how her strict Muslim family reacted when they found out she was working in porn and how it’s changed the trajectory of her life. Sahara is often compared to Mia Khalifa and we discuss why that isn’t necessarily accurate. She tells us how handles the vitriol & threats she receives from those claiming she brings shame upon the Muslim religion, plus we discuss her role on Game of Thrones, her new role as chairperson of the UKAP, why she cannot legally enter the US, and Sahara tells us what she thinks is really behind Meghan and Harry’s split from the Royal Family.
