At MSN, we train our speakers to NEVER assume. Some honor students are clueless when it comes to Islam and Muslims, while others might know tons of information that are from “un-academic” sources!
Our speakers often start their presentations by asking students about what they’ve learned so far. As these students started to eagerly share what they’d learned, our speaker was in for a surprise! First, it was that Muslim countries don’t have governments, their laws aren’t fair to women, and that Muslim girls can’t leave home without their brother or husband. These students had been learning about Islam for three weeks, but did not recognize the picture of the Ka’bah our speaker put up on the screen. Our speaker skillfully covered the presentation while dispelling myths and stereotypes. After class, the principal, who had observed the entire talk, was so ashamed of how misinformed the students were that she promised, “Things are going to be very different around here.”
Keep the critical work of MSN in your prayers this Ramadan.
