I am a Muslim Woman

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
Note, I speak perfect English
Et un petit peu de francais aussi
I'm majoring in Linguistics
So you need not speak slowly
I own my own small business
Every cent I earn is mine
I drive my Chevy to school and work
And no, that's not a crime
You often stare as I walk by
You don't understand my veil
But peace and power I have found
For I am equal to any male I am a Muslim Woman
So please don't pity me
For God has guided me to truth
And now I'm finally free!

sure there is here is one for you mr hairless

MUSLIM MEN
i respect Muslim men
My brother, my husband, my son
Because Muslim men stand for something
They stand for justice
They know their responsibilities
And they guard my rights
They support me to be
Whatever I need to be
They share my laughter, my tears, my frustration
