A mere piece of clothing has been creating turmoil all around the world. I cant help but wonder, what threat does this simple way of dress pose to those who oppose it...and what does hijab mean to women?

Who I Am !
An Excellent poem about the Muslim Woman.


What do you see
when you look at me
Do you see someone limited,
or someone free
<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

All some people can do is just look and stare
Simply because they can't see my hair

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

Others think I am controlled and uneducated
They think that I am limited and un-liberated

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

They are so thankful that they are not me
Because they would like to remain 'free'

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used
Describing women who are cheated on and abused

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

They think that I do not have opinions or voice
They think that being hooded isn't my choice

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

They think that the hood makes me look caged
That my husband or dad are totally outraged

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

All they can do is look at me in fear
And in my eye there is a tear

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

Not because I have been stared at or made fun of
But because people are ignoring the one up above

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

On the day of judgment they will be the fools
Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

Maybe the guys won't think I am a cutie
But at least I am filled with more inner beauty

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

See I have declined from being a guy's toy
Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boy

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

Real men are able to appreciate my mind
And aren't busy looking at my behind

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

Hooded girls are the ones really helping the muslim cause
The role that we play definitely deserves applause

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

I will be recognized because I am smart and bright
And because some people are inspired by my sight

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

The smart ones are attracted by my tranquility
In the back of their mind they wish they were me

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

We have the strength to do what we think is right
Even if it means putting up a life long fight

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt We are
given only respect, and never treated like dirt

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated
We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

We are the ones that are free and pure
We're free of STD's that have no cure

<==><==><==><==><==><==><==><==>

So when people ask you how you feel about the hood
Just sum it up by saying 'baby its all good' ;)
