As people tell me I should not blog.

I ask them what about the million others that blog, some rant and rave about the same things.

They say those people do not concern them, but what I do concerns them deeply as my words matter.

Sometimes they'll say it does not matter, if it does not matter then you would not make it a point to use my "blogs" against me as a threat, a promise or whatever excuse you want to do.

People tell me to stop blogging, stop face-booking, stop msn'ing, stop it altogether.
but why?

If I were to type in the blog search of certain issues, you'd see tons of blogs out there on these subjects, what makes mine any different from theirs?

is it because I said things that are very sensitive that hit very close to home?
is it because it's getting you to face reality, the reality that is close to home?

abuse exists.

does not matter if you did not see it, it exists.

you can deny it all you want, you can say well i made it up because i'm a sick individual that has nothing better to do with her time, because i love the drama, etc.... i've heard it all before, yet not true...... a person would not pretend to be sick, a person would not fake severe migraines just to get out of "household chores, or minding the children".

If you can name a person, a reliable person, a valid person, a real person, than I would like to ask that person if they stooped down low and if they did, why is it that others that speak the truth get a bad reputation, a bad name as a result of just that one individual?

Also, that one individual or even a group of people that did that does not mean necessarily that I fall into that same category.

Allahu Alim.

We need to stop the generalization and stereotyping. As there are tears falling, from my eyes, and from yours.


As there were tears falling from the Prophet SAW as he read the last Sermon, tears, real tears falling at the state of the Ummah would face.

As we look back into the past and see in which our own brothers and sisters in Islam suffered, we see that Islam opened up many opportunities to them to get their justice, to get their sense of peace, tranquility, hope and a sense of goodness.

Islam does not tolerate abuse, no excuses for it. Islam does not encourage abuse, nor does it say we should ignore it. Islam does not say we should not speak of it, or pretend it's not existing.
As Muslims we shouldn't, but unfortunately we have and are.

I can honestly say that there are a lot of us that are coming out into the open about the "abuse" we lived through, and does that mean because we are threatened we should stop because there are too many people that wants it to continue on and on, until our great-great grand children will be the ones to eliminate it period!

I do not want to wait till our great, great, grandchildren come to stop it. I want to start now.

and I hope you do too.
