MEET A MUSLIM
There are many Muslims (native or foreign born) who attend this campus.
As you meet the person you are interviewing, answer the following questions:
1-What is his/her background (name, age, profession, origins)? Is he/she a recent immigrant, the son/daughter of an immigrant, are his/her parents natives to the U.S., or is he/she a convert to Islam?
2-How does he/she go about practicing his/her religion in the U.S.? Is it easy? challenging? unique in any particular way?
3-What are his/her aspirations? In your opinion, are they any different from those who are Americans of different faiths or those who don't affiliate themselves with any particular faith?
4-What are his/her greatest fears? Does he/she worry about the political climate in the U.S.?
5-Has that person faced any religious or ethnic based discrimination or bullying? If so, how did he/she deal with them?
