The idea that I had anything to do with speaking about Islam or about the Muslim world was just absurd to my family. . . . I hadn't been to the mosque in like 10 years.
We build buildings based on the false assumption that women go to mosques half as much as they actually do. In fact, the US is the only country in the world where women and men report that they attend the mosque in equal numbers, but our institutions aren't representing this reality.
When "I" and "You" are absent, I've no idea if this is a mosque, synagogue, church or temple
