   Loves young dream
A girl and a boy
 holding hands 
in the park
loves young dream
but all is not how it seems

The guys got a beard
The girls wearing a hijab
They look Islamic
But the realities tragic

Boyfriend and girlfriend
Hand in hand 
Romeo and Juliet
The Muslim kind

Parents don�t know
And cant imagine
Their child up to no good
Breaking all the taboos

Beard and hijab just for show
Away from the family
Almost anything  goes
When in Rome do as the Romans
Seems to be the motto

Appearences can be misleading and decieving
Never judge a book by its cover
But it�s a good way for fooling  the rents
Leave home with books every morning
Then engage in flirting and other things
Instead of studying
Who needs that baggage

Dating leading to marriage
That�s the game plan
Its better then parents arranging
Cousins back home disapointed
Never mind
They can visit 
And do a runner

Boys wanting a quick fumble and lay
I love you and presents 
Seem to be the quickest way
But the girl wants commitment and something stable
So make promises of marriage one day
To get your way

When things turn sour
The girl gets a bad rep
***** and whore
While the guy gets rated
And adds another notch
The girls life botched
And destroyed
But that�s just the way it goes
In the liberated west

Few relationships last long
And most don�t even last a term
Some lead to all sorts of harm
STIs and abortions
But no one cares and follows blindly
This trend of dating which leads to infamy

So what to follow and who to obey?
Hmm, that�s the big question
Maybe our creator and his commands.
Instead of whims and desires
Which lead to haram

	Stereotypes and sweeping generalisations can be very hurtful to all communities Showkat. I am sad that your poem is so negative. Many of your non-Muslim brothers and sisters in the west are kind and decent people. You live in a country where Muslims are a small minority after all. Let me tell you a story. A holy man is making a long pilgrimage, walking through foreign lands to reach his goal. One day while walking he meets a faithful traveller coming the other way who stops him and asks for a blessing. �Tell me� asks the traveller, pointing behind the holy man �Have you just come from that village?� �Yes� replies the Holy man, �And you from the village ahead?� �I have� says the traveller, �Tell me, how did you find the people in the village you�ve just left?�. The Holy man smiles �How did you find those in the Village ahead?� he asks. The traveller frowns and shaking his head replies �They do not share our faith, their ways are strange to me. They greeted me warmly, gave me food and lodging and allowed me to stay in their village. But I found them alien and disturbing. In truth they disgusted me as surely their hearts must be evil to not believe as I do. I couldn�t wait to leave� The Holy man looks sad, �Then that is how you will find the people in the next village� he replies and continues down the road.
