Fun Facts: I love shopping
Reflection: Before this class, I only heard the word"Muslim" and only knew that it is a religion. Then this class has changed my perception of Muslims a lot: many Muslims are from Africa, and many of them have high education. In addition, after Muslims immigrated to America, they suffer a lot of unfair treatments. This class helps me to know deeper about Muslim culture.

Fun Fact: I love shopping!
Reflection: After taking Muslims in America, my perceptions about Muslims within the United States has changed significantly. I realized that there is much diversity within the Muslim American community. I never realized the simplistic categorizations or the simplistic duality that exists within the United States is inaccurate. The misinformation and categorization of Muslims has intensified post 9/11. As informed citizens we should question media's portrayal and reasoning before passively agree to the given rhetoric.
