So I won't even try to express my admiration here, just know that it is great.<BR/><BR/>I will say - though I have no doubt that you looked every bit as beautiful and elegant with your scarf as you do without - that you have really, really pretty hair :)<BR/><BR/>That, and as the Jedi (and my Uncle Paul, for whatever reason) say: "May The Force Be With You!"Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417609698371630786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921726606857129966.post-43632799131999348392008-02-19T10:31:00.000-08:002008-02-19T10:31:00.000-08:00I am proud of you for practicing what you believe ...I am proud of you for practicing what you believe vs. what others' believe.

I believer, if everyone voiced their thoughts and beliefs, it'll be a totally different society. <BR/>At the end, "others" accept and let go when genuine people like you stand up for their beliefs and the voice within them - their truth simply because they probably have those very same struggles, but not brave enough to put them out. Let's hope for more integrity in the world.<BR/>Keep writing :)<BR/>MarwaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921726606857129966.post-84900448681345437502008-02-18T15:15:00.000-08:002008-02-18T15:15:00.000-08:00I just wanted to leave a note to let you know that...I just wanted to leave a note to let you know that I admire your independence of thought, and that 'the music' will eventually become just background noise.. just be patient and smile in the face of criticism :)<BR/>N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921726606857129966.post-15356595612863935142008-02-16T14:34:00.000-08:002008-02-16T14:34:00.000-08:00Oh , Cedric , the verse!

But I will say this: I admire the courage you had to do it and your honesty with yourself and the ones around you.<BR/><BR/>It's a big step, standing for who you are and in accordance to what you think, not letting social pressure dictate it to you.<BR/><BR/>This is also my second point: often, social pressure is more important than what one deeply believes in.<BR/><BR/>At some point you said the veil is "what almost every practicing Muslim believes to be an obligation". This may be true in some parts of Egypt, but far from true in other places, like Turkey or Lebanon, let alone Europe.<BR/><BR/>What is that verse "used when catastrophes happen" ? :o)InlovewithEgypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320083544580819959noreply@blogger.com
