To the Mother in a Hijab: I See You

Today, I see you escaping a nightmare that I can hardly fathom, desperately searching for a way to shield your children from horror. You are fleeing everything familiar, the home you have always known. The conditions you face during your escape are harrowing, yet you understand they are preferable to the suffering you left behind. You are a mother, just like me, willing to sacrifice everything for your children’s safety.

I see you yearning for a secure place to land, fully aware of the daunting bureaucratic hurdles ahead. You also face the backlash from those who wish to shut borders out of fear—fear that among you might lie those who seek to harm innocents. But you are one of the innocent ones, and I acknowledge your pain.

But do you see me? Do you notice my light skin, the Bible resting on my coffee table, or the Western lifestyle I lead? I could easily resemble those who have committed atrocious acts against humanity. I understand that outward appearances can be deceiving, and I am not aligned with their beliefs or actions. I stand opposed to them. Do you recognize me?

You may share a cultural background with those who perpetrate violence, and you may wear similar clothing or follow the same customs. But you are not one of them; you are running from that chaos. My heart, as a fellow mother, aches for you and your journey.

You are not alone; there are people like me who love and support you. I see you, and I stand with you.
