In today's society, Muslims are often feared and are not understood by many people. With the image of Islam tattered, it is important that Americans see these women in an effort to understand. The young women are role models in upholding their faith and culture. They could quite possibly change the way many Americans view Muslims in a positive way.
I agree with what they are trying to do, for they constantly get a bad rap. They just want to clear their name, and that's fine. We might even learn something from them.. never know.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that the Muslim women are less fearful of what other people think of them. It doesn't matter what other people think about you. It only matters that you know who you are. I agree that Americans that see this make an effort to understand and not to just assume that all Muslims are bad people.
ReplyDeleteThis is such good news. There's a lot of negative things in the world and im glad Muslim women are are working against it.
