a week ago i took a day off work. i was walking 2 visit someone i came across a group of black and mixed raced girls all around the ages 9 to 10.
they were harassing a Somalian girl with a scarf on. They kept dissing her and kept calling her a "black paki"
The somali girl was dark skinned lakiin u can very easily tell she was somali by her face.
After a long while of doing this 2 her the girls left. and just by chance the little Somali girl was going the same direction as me.
i caught up with her, stopped her and started 2 ask her Qs.
her name was amina she was 9.
from the back of her scarf i noticed that she had such long silky hair it started 2 show from her back, i was amazed and jealous a lil bit lol
then i said 2her " amina, you have such pretty nice hair, why dont you tell you mum to allow you 2go school without a scarf, your still young u know. and also it will make those evil girls 2stop calling u names"
THIS WAS HER REPLY, WHICH UNTIL 2DAY MAKES ME THINK!!
"walaalo, i wear the scarf not 4my hooyo or my aabo or my brothers or sisters - i wear it 4allah and i love him and i know he will love me more if i wear it. i realy dont care about those girls - i think its god who is testing me 2see if i will give up - and i will never give up"
can u believe this is a 9 yr old... and am 20 ... who almost never wears a scarf unless i go mosque. She has motivated me more 2 wear 1.
