I dream of a strong country,
Ready to emerge from under the water,
To inhale fresh air and oxygen,
And return to life, With mighty force,
To take power and grant equality,
To all citizens of the State,
Including young girls,
Who are shunned from schools,
Denied their basic rights,
To education because of their religion,
And will to practice by garb,
Which Is questioned, By the hypocrites,
The sacred hijab is tried in court,
By all who put it on a pedestal,
And await for an execution,
To end the very core of belief,
Believe in, Or believe not,
I dare you to be honest!
I dare you to be fair and equal!
I dare you to be respectful to differences!
I dare you to be non-sexist!
I dare you to watch me!
I BREATHE with LIFE in me!

stop all this nonsense...color of skin....God made us
all....as long as we adhere to the rules of God...who
cares about anything else....floria
you dared...and i took your dare. :)
you've penned a rallying call for justice. to be denied education because a woman wants to cover is wrong. i am not muslim, but respect a woman's choice to cover. i pray a peaceful, quick resolution to this problem.
