American Muslim Women Resist Soft Target Stereotype

Umm Juwariyyah

In her blog, Umm Juwayriyah writes:

What I know after being born, raised, and living as a Muslim for over 30 plus years is that American Muslim women are some of the strongest, faithful, giving, creative,  proud, resolute, “making things happen” and trendsetting women in the entire world…See, the Muslim women that I know were not raised to hide their faith! They weren’t raised to feel less than or cower in front of any men, be they kings or presidents! The American Muslim women that I know are business owners, lawyers, students, homemakers, and world travelers. They proudly take their Islam where ever they go. Any hardship they face, they plow through it with their heads held high.
