Muslim Women - Caught in a Web
Thursday, May 1, 2008
The hijab is a woman's right , and her expression of her faith, but a hijab is also the most controversial garment, today's Indian women I know wear or don't wear the hijab, but their beliefs in their faith is not diminished and it is a question of priority.. My wife wears the hijab, and it is a personal prerogative... she wears a chaddar too... so I am not against the Hijab but I find Aishah Azmi the lady in the cross fire in UK, her reasoning quite ridiculous, she wants to have the cake and eat it too, why not teach in an Islamic girls school and bring an end to the matter, and Hindu women made to wear hijab in a Muslim school in Mumbai sucks.. And these are my personal views... and Jack Straws view s on the Hijab well should be debated by the erstwhile Muslim community in that country. Caught in the vicious circle of dogmatic chaos The Muslim woman in the hinterland screams Out a voiceless pain The mullah deaf in the ears hears it not UN doctored scriptures doctored Truth translated For a male dominated Muslim society A sister a daughter an unborn girl child A Muslim mothers unending pain A court passes a sentence But the ulema the monster of his times Unrepentant pushes woman hood into an early grave Whatever the holy prophet taught The ideals the compassion all in vain... Times have changed but the mullahs Prehistoric mind will never change A hijab over his mind and brain Crumbling walls that cry in pain Money tainted fatwas an acid rain And what a sorry figure We cut as humans Muslims but in name a bane What a shame...our custodians of our heritage Our ethos and our struggle defame Hurt, mislead and maim... Fighting wrongly for hijab Unreasonably in this case A Muslim school teacher in UK Aishah Azmi Takes wrong aim Some more shame Can an English woman Make demands in a theocratic state Who is to blame? You can't expect a country to Changes it rules And your will proclaim All in all the Muslim woman Endangered specie… An old memory in picture fame
