and I don't care
if you're gay
if you're black
or white.
if you wear your scarf with a little bit of hair showing.
if you have boyfriends and girlfriends
if you don't pray five times a day.
if you don't read the quran
and don't always eat halal.
it's okay.
you're a Muslim to me.
no matter what the rest say.
God wants you to be happy
not a prisoner.
