Rap music? Think of something original.
Eighteen-year-old woman-children are so-o-o very wise -—
This girl’s gonna be killed. The muslim brotherhood won’t tolerate a female daring to speak out.
I don’t think very much of rap, musically or morally about 95% of the time. Most times in the states, a rap performance is just a pity party attended by other losers. This is different because of what it represents, a young muslim woman taking a chance with her life, her family’s lives in order to speak out about a profound injustice. The injustice is a society that would sanction killing or acid-blinding a girl just because she wants to learn how to read. How primitive is that? Some middle to upper class muslim teens have access to the internet; the window into the rest of the world. They want to be part of it. I do admire her courage, and pray for her safety. Sometimes, one has to hide in plain sight, so that being ‘disappeared’ is not that easy to do when everyone knows who you are.
