Beauty is a sin

It’s like the movie Apollo 13 where the Captain Lovell character says: “We’re not going to go bouncing off the walls for ten minutes, ’cause we’re just going to end up back here with the same problems!”

It solves nothing to go on a rampage and make similar comments on other people’s sites. Where’s it going to get you… nowhere. I believe that those who make rude and negative comments against you are shallow and act out of emotion and not out of common sense. If they are the kind of people who make judgments out of emotion, there is no need for you to get emotional and spread the hate to those who didn’t hurt you to begin with. You’re better than that. It shows character to show composure even in the face of obvious disgrace against you.

Gandhi interpreted the phrase “Turn the other Cheek” as not an eye for an eye, but rather force those who inflict pain to continue to do so again and see the error of their ways.

I do hope that you can take a deep breath and see the beauty of the world around you before you act out in a similar fashion.

That girl could either be genuinely following a higher religious belief, or she could be jealous, or offended. I dont think there should be a problem with it because you are quite modest in general. xx

Many Muslims think I am a walking sin too so don’t feel too bad! When I was at USC all the Muslim Student Union guys felt the need to lecture me on how I should cover my head, etc. After arguing with them I realize I really didn’t need to bother. They will never change their mind and really, I realized I didn’t care!

@Ameena, Mona:

I agree with both you of, nobody other than your father/mother & brother has the right to ask you to wear a veil or do hijab. If they weren’t bothered with you having boyfriends/skin revealing clothing line and particularly ‘tight-ass jeans’ or wearing short skirts showing your beautiful legs off in public/uni just because you wanted to and they(your parents or elder siblings) were ‘pretty normal’ with it. Then, what’s the big deal?

You should tell all those free advisers on face: “It’s none of your business if my parents allowed me to do anything I want”; what goes of your father? And tell them to start with their own home instead of stopping ‘Enlightened chicks’ on roads.

I you can’t be famous, be notorious

She should be criticizing those men for their perverted and disgusting comments instead of judging you for having “too” many pictures. Comments like hers just perpetuate the lack of accountability that Arab and Muslim men have when it comes to their own modesty and conduct. People like her are bored with their lives so they have to create drama.

Arab women are genuinely beautiful, people just have to deal with it.

Sorry, that should be “If you can’t be famous, be notorious”. One of these days, my typing is going to break the obscene publications act.

“@Ameena, Mona:

I agree with this part only. I don’t know if I agree with you completely mona, but I think it was okay to make a post on it. And of course I agree about that you can look how you want, and show your photos as long as you are comfortable with it, and if you didn’t want to show them it could be about privacy of people stealing them on the internet or misusing them, and wouldn’t have to be for the reasons the other person gave.

“nobody other than your father/mother & brother has the right to ask you to wear a veil or do hijab.”

No-one else has the right to ask you to wear a veil. Full stop.

And I agree with what Mrs S says.

That in stricter muslim countries or families: women have to hide themselves, because men can’t control themselves. The behaviour of the men is the problem, but the country or the society or families make a rule about changing something of the woman’s ability to look like a woman as she was born, instead changing the behaviour of the men which is just a choice.

I had a quick look at your twitpics and anyone who doesnt think you are attractive is silly !

Nice blog btw :]
