Islam is the second-largest religion in the world after Christianity, and it is also one of the fastest-growing faiths in the United States today. Some Muslim women in America are working to foster understanding of their faith and lifestyle through theater performances. For producer Ade Astuti and Susy Tekunan, VOA’s Carla Coolman reports.
Muslim-Americans wearing hijabs
While there are no official population figures for religious affiliation in the United States, experts estimate that there are approximately six million Muslims living in the country. Yet as a non-Western faith, many Americans are unfamiliar with Islam.
To foster greater understanding, University of Chicago alumni Zeenat Rahman created the “Hijabi Monologues”.
It is a performance where American women who are Muslim tell their stories, in their own words. Through the power of story-telling, these women talk about a wide range of situations, creating a sense of shared experiences among them while enriching understanding of their lives.
