An American
A Dunkin' Donuts bag and a Koran share space on her dresser. Sneakers and head scarves are both part of her daily dress. And in the evenings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she might watch "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" after praying toward Mecca with her parents and six siblings.
But in our nation's melting pot of cultures and religions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's those contrasts that make Feda Eid (FEE-dah ah-YEED) distinctly American.
"I don't see why anyone would think I'm more or less of an American just because of my religion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Feda says. Her greenish-blue head scarf accents the intense green of her eyes.
She has thought a lot about her religion and her country since Sept. 11, when terrorists attacked the United States. Feda is a freshman at North Quincy High School near Boston. Recently, some of her fellow students have pestered her for wearing a head scarf. "They thought that because I'm a Muslim, I must agree with what the terrorists did," she says. "Of course I don't!" she adds.
Too many Muslim stereotypes
But mostly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Feda says, students have been really nice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and have asked her about her religion, Islam. A few teachers have asked her to explain in class how she practices her religion.
Feda often begins by pointing out stereotypes of Muslims in movies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], television shows,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], news reports - and even in her history books. Muslims are often portrayed as oil-rich Arabs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], women in long black robes, sword-swinging warriors fighting medieval Christian crusaders, or suicidal terrorists.
"I have the same religion as the Sept. 11 terrorists,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Feda says, "but the terrorists make it completely different. They stretch the ideas of Islam,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and think their attack was justified because it was a jihad [holy war]. But really, killing innocent people is not a jihad - nor is it even allowed in Islam."
Feda's parents and two older sisters came to the United States from Lebanon in 1982, during the civil war there. Feda,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two more sisters (one older, one younger), and two younger brothers were born here.
Feda says her life isn't very different from the lives of her classmates, except "maybe that I wear a head scarf and pray throughout the day."
She wears the scarf because Islam requires that women dress with modesty (no showy or revealing outfits). "But I don't usually wear it around the house or when I'm just around relatives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she says. Younger girls don't wear them, either.
The family heads downstairs to the living room and puts small rugs down on the wooden floor. The rugs point toward Mecca,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Saudi Arabian city where the prophet Muhammad was born. (See accompanying story.) Talal leads the prayers for the family and also for a nearby mosque (a Muslim place of worship). As the mosque's prayer leader, he is the "imam" (ee-MAM). That's an Arabic word for "prayer leader." He reads from the Muslim holy book,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Koran, and sometimes delivers sermons.
Fasting during Ramadan
Feda says she sometimes goes back to bed after morning prayer. "Or,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if I miss it, I pray whenever I wake up," she adds. She usually waits until she gets home from school around 3 to do the rest of the prayers with her family, or by herself in her room.相关的主题文章：
