An interesting article on CNN was posted called Muslim in America: a 'voyage of discovery' which talks about how Muslim people first came to America and how they said it was hard for them to get to adjust here to this environment. She talked about how the last that she wore her Muslim dress and her head scarf how it covered her whole body except her face. How many stares she received when she was at the Miami Airport when she had to go to security it was horrible. It’s just hard to get adjusted and after a while you start getting use to it she said when she was making her way to the bathroom one woman’s jaw dropped but then she smiled back at her and the Muslim woman said even a little smile make you feel a little better. There are many stories behind this case like Madeeha Hameed who is 21 and is a Senior at the College of William & Mary in Virginia she moved to Virginia from Pakistan. She said, "It was very difficult for me. ... You know how high school is," she said. "I did not want to be known as a Muslim or a Pakistani, because I just wanted to fit in. I had a lot of anger toward my identity." It’s just hard for everyone not just Muslim people to get accepted in other countries and practicing their religion to your ethnic background.
