How many muslims do you know personally?

32. A bunch

I work with two who are refugees from Iraq. One left because her family was Sunni and lived in a Shia neighborhood when Saddam fell. She said the neighbors started throwing rocks at her house and gave them 10 minutes to leave or die. They fled to Jordan where they languished in a refugee camp for 7 years before making their way to the US. The other one's father was a pilot in Saddams air-force. Her father then worked for the Americans for several years and her family was also forced out.

Somali's are my favorites. They have the best sense of humor as a group of all the Muslims I have interacted with.

I also worked with the International Rescue Committee settling refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somolia, Burma and Bhutan.

Most Muslims just want to raise their kids in safety and live peacefully.
