i've posted this once.... just want to know if anyone else if wanted to answer or offer some encouragement to this struggling sister.
i thought it was interesting. please read all the info b4 you respond (or judge)
I am a kafir today.
Yesterday it was not so,
and tomorrow it may not be.
Today it is not a hijab;
only a scarf,
only cloth.
The word Muslim is merely a noun,
a title.
I have taken the action from it;
I do not submit.
What is so new of this life?
where "reason oft is quenched by whims."
My eyes have lost their sight,
and my ears fallen deaf.
yet i know there are miracles to be seen,
and a message to be heard...
but still i am unable.
I am a kafir today.
yesterday it was not so,
and tomorrow it may not be.

some people had trouble understanding the message the first time so:

she didnt read it at a masjid.... she read it at a poetry reading

mustafa you are the only muslim to answer this question as of yet and you did not even respond to the question...
ps like the young lady from the uk said.... from what i understood and what i think... she is not saying that her scarf is oppressive or her religion is bad.... i just think she is struggling
