Yes, the arts exist too! So does love! And dating! :D Had I been a woman, and a bit more organized, I might submit something. I'm planning on writing a story for a short story contest here in the Twin Cities but the deadline is a month later. I have yet to start on it...sigh... This sounds like a fabulous idea!

Stay tuned! :) Sumaiya: It would be fascinating to hear stories on this topic from around the world - and from a different perspective than the dominant narrative we're each exposed to in our respective countries. Perhaps you, Safiya or other writers might be interested in collecting and highlighting those stories in your own locales? It would make an awesome global project! Irean: Welcome! That's a perspective that needs to be heard and explored. However, the purpose of this collection is to highlight real-life stories about Muslim women as told by Muslim women themselves. Thank you all for your interest and for - hopefully- helping to spread the word! Warmly, Baraka Salaam all,

I'm American and my husband is Muslim which means our relationship, our home, and all of the rules that govern our lives are Islamic... Despite the fact that I'm not.
