Please read this in conjuction to the post 'which type of muslim you are' by yellow sapphire.
This poem has been sent to me by a very good friend of mine, and I think it is worth sharring with you guys.
I am A Muslim Woman - by Jenn Zaghloul :
I am a Muslim woman
Feel free to ask me why
When I walk,
I walk with dignity
When I speak
I do not lie
I am a Muslim woman
Not all of me you'll see
But what you should appreciate
Is that the choice I make is free
I'm not plagued with depression
I'm neither cheated nor abused
I don't envy other women
And I'm certainly not confused
I run my own small business
Every cent I earn is mine
I drive my car to school & work
And no, that's not crime !
You often stare as I walk by
You don't understand my veil
But peace and power I have found
As I am equal to any male !
I am a Muslim woman
So please don't pity me
For God has duided me to truth
And now I'm finally free!
