Inspired Muslimah

Salaams everyone. My last post wasn't meant to offend any one and I certainly wasn't talking about anyone in particular. In MY opinion there has been a lot of tension amongst the bloggers. I didn't name anyone and I am not pointing fingers at anyone. That is not my point.As for mentioning particular topics that I did name such as race, taxes,Obama, hijab versus non hijab, my point was to say I am surprise with the tension that comes after these post. Like ok so a sister post something regarding whats on her mind, one of the above topics and then other bloggers start to comment and I am surprised at some of the comments I read and how it almost turns into an argument. I am not saying people shouldn't post whats on there mind regardless of how everyone else reacts too it.I dont blame the blogger, I am just surprised about some of the comments because everyone is entitled to post what they want. I hope I am clear because I am not a fan of the blogger police that go from blog to blog telling this person what he or she should blog about and I have said that on my occasions. Its your blog and you can talk about what you want. Its funny because the whole point of that post came across exactly the opposite of what I wanted. And lastly to the comment I made about the sis who mentioned people following her blog and not commenting and I mentioned this happens to me, I was saying anything about you sis in particular not commenting on my blog. I just meant in general. You are one of the few sisters who do take the time to comment on my blog so I am surprise you thought you were one of the people. Regardless, no one owes it to anyone to comment and I have read comments that said if they dont feel as if they can participate in the conversation, they will not comment at all and I couldn't agree with you more!

Reading some of the other sisters blogs lately has resulted in tension. If its not one argument it is another. I am not pointing any fingers, I am just saying that all of this tension and back and forth over various issues is draining. Race, Obama, proper hijab versus non proper hijab, Palestine, Israel, taxes and more.... I will not take part in any of these back and forth type deals because I dont want to be bias to anyone one sister. Then you have everyone else jumping on the band wagon either agreeing or disagreeing and I do understand that your (the bloggers) blog is to vent and say what is on your mind and I support it, freedom of speech ofcourse!

Ok so I have been holding my tongue for sometime about this. I have been having so much fun blogging but sheesh I am sick of people leaving negative comments on bloggers page about the contents of their blogs. I have noticed this sooo much on my muslimah sisters page. I have seen it on all the blogs i frequent. I mean beautiful muslimah is almost harassed! I personally love her blog AND Naeemahs blog and Yasmins blog and Aalia's blog and the hijabblog and I can go on and on..... Now, I am very opinionated and out spoken and I do not mind the same for other. But telling someone what he or she should blog or shouldn't blog about is just ridiculous. Or just being nasty in general about a bloggers post Here is a tip, if you dont like the bloggers choice of topics,post,or what not, then DONT VISIT!!!!!!!! I mean its not rocket science. I am not saying that you cant disagree with people,offer suggestions or advice not asked for, or simply state your opinion. But thats not what i have noticed. I have seen soooo many blogs where someone is actually telling them what they should or shouldn't talk about or focus on, or what hijabs they should should post.I mean this is totally taking the fun out of blogging. I thought this was a place where one could go and post random thoughts or whatever. Some post are significant others are just venting. Whatever the case, I always love the fact that go to all the different websites and see what people have on their mind whether I agree or not. This post was not directed towards anyone in particular ( I know your laughing naeemah:) But seriously guys lets respect each other and not be so bossy and judgmental. Allah (swt) can only do this. Lighten up everyone!
