I am a woman (and you have problem with that, too?)

I am a woman, dear Mandy, why don't you believe that? You think muslim woman cannot talk? type comments? read? send reply to your cruel statements?I am a flesh and blooded human being like you are, I am not an animal at the zoo that you'd throw all kind of darts of sarcasm towards me and I would let you get away with this. You're unhappy that I can talk back? You don't expect Muslim women to use computer? You only want them either to hide behild veils or blow themselves up?

I am happy that you have started reading about other countries, even if thats only for finding faults. I am happy that now you've started to believe that there are countries, cultures and ways of life in this world beyond America and Europe. Mandy, you white people are only 17% of the world's population. That means 87% are non westerners. There are so many colours, creed, cultures in this world- and that makes the world an interesting and beautiful place. High self esteem is good but thinking that you're the best make you not only arrogant but also selfish and ignorant. You have something that other people don't. But they also have something that you may not have. Why do you think that the Creator has only favoured you, and not others?

I am a Muslim woman and I am happy the way I am. period. You think I am rude just because I am defending myself. What about you, Mandy? Who asked you to send foolish comments about Muslim women? No matter how we shout 'we're fine', you still keep on pestering us with your so called crododile's tears. Stop ridiculing us, otherwise, we will ridicule you in the same way.
