Queen Rania of Jordan

Queen Rania of Jordan
For many, the hijab represents modesty, piety and devotion to God, and I truly respect that. But the hijab should not be used as a means of applying social pressure on people.
Queen Rania of Jordan

The job description for a queen changes with the times.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Of course, I tweet. Tweeting is a very personal form of expression. Who else could talk about my son refusing to wear a suit to meet the Pope, my husband flying a helicopter, or take a twitpic from our home?
Queen Rania of Jordan
Muslim women must stand up and speak out about who we are, what we believe and where we are going. I think we need to know that our counterparts in the west are also willing to listen and reciprocate.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don't get to express myself creatively through my official duties.
