The mosque (masjid) was an…

The Muslim religion is one of the most discriminated against minorities in the world. Many people believe that Muslim people are a threat to their society, and therefore treats them like they are inhuman and untrustworthy. Another minority that is greatly discriminated against is women. Sadly, there are people out there who have to deal with the marginalization of both women and the Muslim religion. Muslim women are treated unfairly in America (primarily after 9/11) and in their Islamic religion…

from people who are close. Before I did this project, I didn’t know anything about the hijab and the Islamic culture, so I enjoyed the process of making our book.

Being a Muslim in the Unites Sates of America, so it means that I have an opportunity to give back in some way to this experiment called America, drawing from a heritage back in my country. I realize that given the popular picture of Muslims, that is a hard thing to do. But I believe the American spirit of revolution and positivity allows me to take on that challenge, my close friend who his my small maternal Uncle tells me “stay patient and most importantly stay positive” and also he told me…
