As Salam Alaikum, dear reader. My name is Ameera Hussein-Jibril and I'm a young Black woman of Somali descent living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I recently graduated from Algonquin College with a bachelor's degree in Applied Business, and work for the National Bank of Canada. Life is alright these days, I guess. Well, professionally things are alright. Personally, things haven't been the greatest. You see, my husband Samir Jibril and I have some marital issues that we're working out.
When a woman's husband sits her down and tells her that he secretly fantasizes about both guys and girls, it can definitely be an upsetting experience. I'm not most women. I'm a Hijab-wearing Muslim woman of Somali descent. To say that I'm conservative would be the understatement of the bloody century, ladies and gentlemen. I believe in the Holy Koran, and follow the Teachings of the Prophet Mohammed. I am a devout Muslim and my religion is firmly against homosexuality. It's considered haram or dirty by most Muslims.
Still, I love my dear husband Samir and I believe that he can't help having those bisexual feelings, as he calls them. In the eyes of the world, we're an almost perfect couple. Samir was born in Toronto, Ontario, to a Somali immigrant father and a white Canadian mother. He's six feet two inches tall, lean and athletic, and very handsome. A lot of mixed guys like The Rock and Vin Diesel look good but my dear hubby Samir is in a class by himself. I was lucky to have snagged his attention while visiting my cousin Yasmin at the Sprott School of Business on the Carleton University campus three years ago.
Samir and I met and it was love at first sight. A tall, gorgeous Muslim brother with an MBA and a kick-ass job as an auditor with the Canadian Revenue Agency? The dude had a lot of women, black and white, fawning over him everywhere he went but he chose me over the rest of them. I'm five-foot-eleven, curvy and dark-skinned, with large breasts, wide hips and a big round butt but a somewhat plain visage. I consider myself lucky to have met Samir because he's quite a catch. Sexy as hell, and a devout Muslim, AND single? I'm glad I snagged Samir before somebody else did. Unfortunately, as I would soon learn, all that glitters isn't gold.
The bad thing about being the CARING wife of a secretly bisexual Muslim man? There is absolutely no one I can tell about it. Understand that if mainstream society is somewhat homophobic, then the Islamic communities of Canada are even more intolerant toward gays, lesbians and bisexuals. If I confided in any of the Muslim sisters at the local Masjid, people would find out about Samir and then his life would be in danger. Do you know of any openly gay or bisexual Muslim men? Of course not. If such individuals exist, and I believe that they do, then they definitely keep their sexual orientation to themselves. Otherwise they'd be deader than Elvis, and I absolutely mean that.
My husband Samir is bisexual, and I honestly wasn't sure how to deal with that. My feelings were deeply conflicted on this issue. The Holy Koran states that homosexuality and lesbianism are wrong. The western world states that gays, lesbians and bisexuals aren't weirdoes and that they're just as normal and wholesome as straight people. Canada even grants them the right to marry other individuals of the same sex. My western friends think there's nothing wrong with queers marrying each other. My Muslim friends at the Masjid think gays and lesbians should be stoned to death for their immoral lifestyles. I love my husband Samir dearly and don't wish him harm. What's a gal to do?
I decided to do what I'm sure lots of women who are madly in love with the secretly gay or bisexual men they married have attempted. I thought I could change him. When Samir came home, three days after this stunning revelation, he found me lying stark naked on the living room carpet. Looking at him lustfully, I winked at my dear hubby and spread my curvy, sexy legs invitingly. Samir grinned and came to me. That night, we made love passionately, just like we used to in the early days of our marriage.
