"Oh Tiresias, the blind Greek prophet of Thebes, who possessed clairvoyant abilities and who turned into a woman for several years, who was condemned to Hyades with his head turned backwards. Could you not have foreseen the calamity I befell? Or were you contempt that I would join you in the state of delirium. How foolish was I, not to believe Cassandra, who tried to forewarn me of what would transpire. But Aphrodite consumed my world and I became blind to what would happen and what was happening."
A story like this should never be told, my story must go unheard except for the whispering of the higher species of the universe. The utterance of my name conjures aerial poison, low, it's worse than that. I am a bacterium that attacks your nervous system leaving you paralyzed and hopeless, but I exist nonetheless. I am a woman of lust, but I was not always consumed by lust, once I was different. My name is Zahra Abdul Hamid, but you may know me as Cassandra the fallen and this is a story of how a Muslim-Salafist girl from Jordan became an American Porn Star. How Zahra became Cassandra. It's also a story of the many rebellious Muslim girls I met along the way.
In the beginning
I was born in the Jordanian capital, Amman, to a Salafist family originally form Zarqa. My father is a businessman, he runs a successful car-dealership and I am his fourth daughter and I have two younger brothers. The other three daughters are married and older that I, I was expected to follow in their path too, which I was more than pleased with at the time. I was a very pious girl, untouched and clean and the Salafist message really resonated with me. Unlike other Salfists you may have encountered, we are not Wahabis like the Saudis or Egyptians. We have our own traditions here in Jordan. For many years we followed the teachings of Sheikh Nasiruddin Al-Albani, who was an Albanian-Syrian scholar expelled from Syria and made home in Jordan.
From him I learned a distain for tradition, Al-Albani blamed blind fanaticism to old traditions to have stifled free-thought and enquiry and this led to the backwardness of Muslim civilisation. As a young Jordanian girl who felt weighed down by cultural expectations, which in many cases, were in conflict with Islamic teachings, this resonated with me. He also despised Wahabism and was open to forms of Sufism and mysticism, which set him apart from other Salafists. Salafists put a lot of emphasis on Islamic study and reaching a personal understanding, while forgoing traditional Islamic schools of thought. I became proficient in my studies of Classical Arabic, Theology, Hagiography, Jurisprudence, Levels of Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Philosophy and Exegesis.
I was a-typical for most girls my age, I already had more advance knowledge of religion than most adults. These studies enabled me to study other things, my mind has always been curious. I learnt Greek philosophy, rhetoric, mythology and dramas, which later led me to French, German, British and American literature. I was also very good at mathematics, which enabled me to study at college in America years later.
But the real change came when I started having dreams. I would find myself in the middle of a desert with no one around; suddenly an abandoned house would appear. Oddly, it looks like a farm house or cottage in the middle of the desert. There are haystacks outside, the house looks old and there is a candle on the door, which provides a glowy fiery light and is the only source of light except for the moon. I walk over to this house and grab the candle and enter the house, there is only one room, a stool, wooden table and haystack everywhere. I take a seat on the stool and a book appears on the little table. I open the book and discover it a photo album and the content shocks me.
Pictures of Muslim girls some in hijabs, veils and other forms of coverings, and their faces are covered in thick white liquid and then I hear the door slam behind me. I turn around, but no one's there, then I hear a voice purporting to be Aphrodite. She whispers sweet nothings into my ears and suddenly I am transported to an enchanted forest, the trees have dicks and I find myself sucking on them like a greedy overweight guy. I would wake up at this point and find that I had either been touching myself or wet the bed. It was really weird, but I tried to think nothing of it. I continued through pray, studies and hard-work to go through life.
I tuned 18 and I was sent to travel to America to study, I managed to get into Berkeley, but I couldn't decide whether I wanted to study pure Mathematics or combined in with Economics too. After reaching Berkeley and producing an interesting paper on Number Theory and possible implication for Computer Science, I decided combing with another subject was the best way to go. I began taking classes in Biology and Philosophy, but would end up Majoring in Math and Minoring in Biology. I dreamed of moving to Silicon Valley and finding my own technology company.
But it was soon after moving to Berkeley that I encountered my first challenge to would lead me on the road to porndom. My roommate Suri Suharto (no relation to the former Indonesian President), she was an Indonesian Javanese Muslim girl, who had become a feminist and studied Gender Studies and English Literature. We would have long conversations and arguments, she was wild and out of control, not entirely rational or so I thought at the time. She was very similar to Femen activists, she even did a topless protest outside the Indonesian Embassy to protest some laws that had come into effect in Indonesia.
On the first night, I heard her having sex with two guys in her bed, I covered my ears, but they were so loud and animalistic. She gave them a rough time, she wasn't being submissive they were. This was the first time I had encountered people having sex, but at the time I thought it had no effect on me. On the contrary, it made me more conservative for I could see how western materialism could corrupt people. My hijab grew tighter, as did my pussy, as I like to joke. It would be a while before I would learn the joy of fucking. Instead, I began shunning my old Salafism and turning to more towards hard-line anti-Superstition, legalistic and rationalised Salafism. I stopped wearing jeans and chose baggy clothing. I wanted to hide my figure, it was too sexualistic and I hated that.
