I'm a Muslim...

One day My mother told me my relative's friend, an American lady journalist, want to visit us to ask us about Veil for her article.

I Remember telling her "You know I meet you with my hijab although It's not mandatory to wear it since we are in home and no foreign man in it, but I want you to see the muslim picture as a whole from inside and outside."

I also remembering telling her that I'm a muslim girl who has a dream like any other american girl having dreams and want accomplish them, we aren't different.

at the end she told, "you know you wanted to show me the muslim picture and you really did."

I don't know whether I really represented islam in a good way or not but I believe that westren do really need to understand that we are humans just like them.

Even if we are different in religion that won't change the humanity in us, the problem that we didn't try to cross the road to see how they see us and them to see what's islam deeply.

We cross the road through media, which is nothing but big false facts serving business and world's political agenda.
