Diversity Q & A

How do you feel when crises and conflicts happen?

Nelufer

I feel very self conscious, thinking that it's going to be blamed on Islam and in return the people who I associate with, will always connect it with me.  Mostly I'm reluctant to reveal information about myself, like I'm fasting or its time to pray at work, because of September 11 and what happened after that.  When I wear the hijab I feel self conscious, walking in the streets thinking people are not looking at me for ME but for what I'm wearing, and judging it.
