We're normal people....n.o.r.m.a.l

Do you ever feel like your inadequate? Like nothing really matters becuase you know in the end, no one's gonna be on your side and really, there's no point in trying? Well, sometimes I feel like that. Sometimes. Especially when Im surrounded by people who look at me as if Ive commited a crime and therefore should be executed because of it. You see, I wear the Hijab/scarf in an environment where this mere peice of material symbolises terrorism. Opression. Fear.

I smile as brightly as I can to make things less awkward, but even then people look away, pretending they hadnt seen me, so I would'nt have to take out the missile under my hijab and blow them up with it.
RELAX..IM ONLY JOKING. I dont have a missile under my hijab. I dont even have a missile. Im not even sure what a missile looks like...

Anyway, Im not really sure what the whole problem is. Im a normal person. Im not bald, nor am I opressed. Far from it. I love wearing my hijab. I love its funky colors, and the many ways I can fix it. I especially love the fact that Im different. That I have the courage to wear it in spite of what everyone thinks....and that, my friends, is what makes it so liberating. It makes me feel like I can overlook everyone else's stares and negative comments and feel proud to beleieve in something so stong. Something so perfect.

You should try it sometime.

I should also probably tell you that I wasnt forced into wearing it. It was my decision 100% and I can tell you that it was one of the most difficult yet greatest decisions in my whole life. Difficult, because I knew that if I wore it, I would get all sorts of reactions, whether good or bad from people I know and random people alike. Greatest, because I knew that it didnt matter. I knew that although I would be judged now, in the end, Allah is the one that will choose my destiny...and thats all that matters. Since then, Ive never regreted it.

The point im trying to make it that Im no terrorist. Nor can I ever be. Its against my religious values and my religion itself. Im not just talkin about myself. Im talkin about the millions of muslims who just want to live there life without being judged as terrorists or poeple who are linked to terrorist organisations. Islam is a religion of peace. It does not support anything which harms or kills innocent civillians.

If you dont beleive me, read. Search. Find out for yourself...
