It’s funny how I escaped from the terrorist I was forced to marry, with only my baby daughter and a high school education, then my mother threatened to kill me, escaped her too, and survived to tell the tale-

Yet ppl think lobbing the word ‘Islamophobia’ will stop me

Every single time I read about a man who beheaded his wife, a father who beheaded his daughter, a brother who killed his sister, chopped her up and buried her in the backyard-I see my face in hers. I know I could have been her. I know I survived for a reason. I will never stop.

@Saharathefree1 grew up in a refugee camp, barely knew her parents, endured FGM, escaped in the middle of the night, worked in whatever jobs she could get her hands on, came to the US illiterate, and now she’s an educator.

You think calling her names will stop her?

@AliyaDissents endured abuse from her family daily until she was eventually forced into a marriage w her cousin in Pakistan when she was 17. She managed to escape while pregnant w her second child.

You think she’ll be silenced because ppl called her mean words?

@AlinejadMasih was imprisoned, had to watch her brother be imprisoned in an effort to try and silence her, had to watch her mother denounce her on TV, and she even had hit men from the Islamic Regime of Iran hunt her in NY.

What are the odds that she’ll be silenced?
