I read the news on MSNBC.msn, an article on Bin Laden's niece, Wafah Dufour. I feel so disgraced by what she had said.

The pictures are likely to be considered obscene by conservative Muslims in and outside of Saudi Arabia where women are required to be veiled. "Listen, I would love to raise consciousness. Maybe women could hear the songs and realize that I'm doing my dream and hopefully they can, too," she said.

After read that, i went, "WTF?!" If you're a muslim, you shouldn't follow a dream that would lead you to the wrong path. Am i not saying the truth? Yes, when i was much younger, i wanted to be famous, i wanted to be known as a popular star. But i remembered, and always cautioned myself. That i was a MUSLIM. If you're a muslim, you wouldn't follow that dream. It would lead you to over-exposure of your self-being. Like how she did in her photoshoots. I am utterly disgraced by what she had done. Even if she isn't a muslim, at least respect your decendents(though i'm pretty sure that she's a muslim).

For me, i wouldn't want to call her a muslim. A true muslim should know what is right, and what is wrong. Just recently, i had my first period. I was maturing, and my mother had asked me to put on the veil whenever i leave home for someplace(except school). I was embarassed, and my mother told me. "Do you want to be pretty in your friends' eyes or God's eyes?" I chose God. He was the one who was brought us into this world, as PURE muslims for some.

I'm off to search for some backgrounds for my social studies presentation. Might update again later. I suddenly have so much to talk about. Bye!
