Learn from Others: Muslim Immigrant in US
In this episode, Gieta and I talk about what it's like to be an immigrant in the US as a Muslim. Some questions we attempted to answer:
What’s the most common question you get from non-Muslim about being Muslim in US?
From a new (ish) immigrant perspective, what are your thoughts of 9/11?
Anything you wish non-Muslim know about Muslim immigrants in US?
Along the way, we also discussed fasting, Ramadan, and learning about 9/11 before coming to the US.
Post-recording notes:
Gieta's wife also wanted to add that wearing a Hijab means she never has a bad hair day!
Gieta also wanted to add that on the topics of Islam traditions and practices that "this is how I understand it" and isn't intended to be a religious expert's take on it.
-- Quick reminder that these episodes are intended to be anecdotal, not an "expert" opinion!
This episode is primarily intended for anyone interested in knowing more about an American Muslim immigrant's perspective.
