Walking the Straight Path
Walking the straight path
trying to find my way
I try every day
But it's hard
I try as soon as the sun comes up
But as it goes down I lose my way again
I will try again tomorrow
But I know it will just be the same
I need someone to guide me
To show me the way
I can't do it alone
I need someone to walk next to me
Not in the front or the back
But by my side
To guide me along the way
So when I fall off they pull me right back on the straight path
The sun has come up again
I will try to walk the straight path
And find help along the way
Someone by my side
To walk the straight path with me

I am saddened that such filth would be written here.
Your viewpoint is valuable and needed in the world. Please don't let such an animal silence you!
Once upon a time I was an abused wife, an American woman for what it's worth--we don't all live wonderful lives. In any event, one of the things I learned was to not let fear silence me. That would be letting him win.
Don't let them win. Speak up! Don't ever give up your voice for anything or anybody!
Bless you on your spiritual path--
Tapati

As-Salaamu-Alaikum Sis.,
I have heard the CRAZIEST things. I can't write them all they are SO ABUNDANT AND RIDICULOUS.
After being ignored by a Dominican sales clerk and skipped by a customer behind me, I interrupted the rudeness and asked the women if she saw me, in Spanish. She said to me in BRO-ken English: "But, Jou people speaky da Spanish?" In fluent Spanish I replied: "Yes and we are doctors and lawyers and teachers too and we speak every language under the sun." AHHH-YAAY-YAY MAMI POR FAVOR!
Then another Dominican in NYC who was trying to skip me while buying bachata at a music stand - but got checked by the salesman - tried to dis me in Spanish. She said "Y esta ni habla Espanol." ("And this (me,thing, it) can't even speak Spanish.") So, I responded, in Spanish: "Y esta MUJER no habla Espanol?" "And this WOMAN can't speak Spanish?" She then said to me in broken English: "But, what is you - is you Pakistani?" Now, if only you knew me - I'm African-American, European and native American - everything BUT Asian! I have GREEN eyes and look like everything BUT Pakistani! Since I was wearing hijab, people just figured I was unable to speak anything other than Arabic or was anything other than Arab/South-East Asian.
They weren't asking me questions about my hijab - instead they were asking me questions about my identity. Questions that they wouldn't have asked had I not been wearing hijab. That really offended me. I moved out of NY to a muslim country. Alhamdulilah!
Ma'aSalaama,
