Deeyah Khan: INFJ
“There’s an African proverb that says: “If the young are not initiated into the village, they will burn it down just to feel its warmth.”
I would like to ask to Muslim parents and communities: will you love and care for your children without forcing them to meet your expectations?
Can you choose them instead of your honor? Can you understand why they’re so angry and alienated when you put your honor before their happiness?
Can you try to be a friend to your child so that they can trust you and want to share with you their experiences, rather than having to seek it somewhere else?
And to our young people tempted by extremism: can you acknowledge that your rage is fueled by pain?
Will you find the strength to resist those cynical old men who want to use your blood for their own profits?
Can you find a way to live? Can you see that the sweetest revenge is for you to live a happy, full, and free life; a life defined by you and nobody else?
Why do you want to become just another dead Muslim kid?
And for the rest of us: when will we start listening to our young people?
How can we support them in redirecting their pain into something more constructive?
They think we don’t like them. They think we don’t care what happens to them. They think we don’t accept them.
Can we find a way to make them feel differently? What will it take for us to see and notice them before they become either the victims or perpetrators of violence?
Can we make ourselves care about them and consider them to be our own? And not just be outraged when the victims of violence look like ourselves?”
