The Aafia Siddiqui I saw

Today marks yet another year of the imprisonment of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui (may Allaah Azzawajal increase her ranks and hasten her release). I've added an article here along with some multimedia, at the end, in the hope that it might cause some of us to learn a lesson from her and work for her release and the release of other Muslim prisoners.

Sister Raise Your Head & Stay Strong!

I have been too scared to write about you, more precisely too ashamed to have abandoned you, a shame that turned into fear, my beloved sisters, but now, it can wait no more. Yes I mean you, O my oppressed sisters in the prisons and you, who are now released yet living the Hell of social taboo, in our merciless societies. Why… you have committed no sin, you have done no wrong, yet those looks of pity and lowness do not leave your pious beings.

I do not know whether to condemn our societies, or whether to console you. You, who are victims of our silence, the sacrifice on behalf of the remaining us, milestones on the road to victory. When did anyone see you do evil? When did they see you look at another man? Did not these same societies stand witness to you chastity? Did they not praise you for being one so righteous? And now after these tough times when you were taken away from yourself, when you were not allowed to be yourself, when things done to you were out of your control, when people were sleeping comfortably in their homes while your screams and cries were ringing across the prisons and police stations… why then are you looked at differently?

Important Update - Letter from Aafia Saddiqui - My Dead Nation

I recently posted an article titled Letter from Aafia Saddiqui - My Dead Nation. However, I was unsure of the authenticity of the letter and since I did not want an inauthentic article to be spread, I have removed it.
