I have a huge problem with anyone who tries to fight for Muslims women’s right with the intention to “reform Islam”. Muslim women suffer at the hands of Muslims. Not Islam. Muslim women suffer because people don’t follow Islamic teachings regarding rights of women. If one even glances at the Quran and Hadith it is very clear that women have more rights in Islam than in any other religion. So your “ noble” cause to protect women from Islam is futile, because you are looking at the issue from a very blind sided perspective.

Whenever a politician talks about the Middle East it’s like when a student doesn’t read the assigned book but tries to explain the plot.

This is for all the Muslim girls who arent virgins and their muslim community tells them that no one will marry them. I stand with you, and know that someone out there will marry you. Your virginity doesn’t define who you are as a wife.

Interviewer: “Do you have a bodyguard?”
“I have one bodyguard. He has no eyes though He sees. He has no ears though He hears. He remembers everything with the aid of mind and memory. When He wishes to create a thing, He just orders it to be and it comes into existence, but this order does not convey the words which takes the tongue to form like our sound carries ears. He hears the secrets of those on the quite thoughts. He stops those whom, whose that? That’s God Allah. He’s my bodyguard. He’s your bodyguard. He’s the Supreme, The Wise.”
- Muhammad Ali 1981 
Happy Birthday to my childhood hero, who still inspires everything about me in my adulthood. I thank him for always voicing his thoughts that were always so poetic, that even at a young age it found its way into my heart. I thank him for teaching me to be a lion at heart, to always think highly of myself but to always give praise to the most high, Allah. 
Happy Birthday to the greatest of all time. MUHAMMAD ALI.

The Muslim Community needs to do a better job at defending these women instead of referring to them as “damaged goods” behind their back. As a young woman I’ve seen the conversations about a divorced woman with children, they talk about her like she’s of useless, and her life is over. I’ve heard the conversations about a young divorced woman with no children, they refer to her as damaged goods.  Stop looking at their divorces as failures, their children as ‘extra baggage” and her sexual assault/rape as a “taboo subject” that makes her undesirable. Its so disgusting and disheartening as a young muslim woman to see these opinions being enforced over and over. It does nothing but embed into my mind that my only and important value is my virginity. 
Like the previous people stated above, I stand with you 💜

You can’t just give up on Wilson. You know he needs you. You know he’s making an impossible choice. He just doesn’t want to live in pain.
