The Many Faces of Islam

Three Muslim women represented different experiences of Islam. One is a scholar researching Isma’ili Muslims of the Indian subcontinent; she offered insights into the diversity within both Sunni and Shi’a Islam. Another was born in Kenya of Pakistani ancestry and moved with her family to the U.S., where she has encountered repeated discrimination. The third is a native of Syracuse, an African-American raised as a Buddhist, became Muslim, and married a Muslim from Cambodia.
