On his interview with the London Evening Standard, he opens about being Muslim and the experience that he had as a result of his faith. Zayn told the London Evening Standard that on his trip to America, he had constantly stopped by the security. He said,

 The first time I came to America, I had three security checks before I got on the plane; first they said that I’d been randomly selected, and then they said it was something to do with my name, it was flagging something on their system. Then when I landed, it was like a movie. They kept me there for three hours, questioning me about all kinds of crazy stuff. I was 17, my first time in America, jet-lagged off the plane, confused. The same thing happened the next time too.

On his interview with a fashion magazine for the December issue, Zayn was asked if he would call himself a Muslim and he replied, “No I wouldn’t”. He also said that religious matter is very personal and can cause a lot of mishaps.

Now people are legit cancelling him,
