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, 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," 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some of her fellow students have pestered her for wearing a head scarf. "They thought that because I'm a Muslim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], students have been really nice, and have asked her about her religion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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, and think their attack was justified because it was a jihad [holy war]. But really,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], either.
The family heads downstairs to the living room and puts small rugs down on the wooden floor. The rugs point toward Mecca, 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, if I miss it, I pray whenever I wake up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she adds. She usually waits until she gets home from school around 3 to do the rest of the prayers with her family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or by herself in her room.
