For me, I thought it was hard trying to be a faithful Christian in America but for Sumbul Ali-Karamali, being an American Muslim was much more difficult. I really thought Sumbul Ali-Karamali was honest and she explained what being Muslim means. At the beginning of the first chapter, Ali-Karamali explained how her life “never marched in rhythm” with her non-Muslim friends. I can relate to her because throughout middle school and high school, sometimes I had a difficult time balancing my Christian practices with my teenage life. Ali-Karamali couldn't date, attend parties or dances.
Muslim leaders estimate that half the number of American converts to Islam come from the African-American community. Twenty-two-year-old Leslie Jordan is a recent convert to Islam. "I decided that I wanted to convert to a religion whose beliefs were like mine and whose practices would compliment the life I wanted to lead and help to exemplify my beliefs." Jordan, who changed her name to Thanaa ("thankfulness"), studied Islam for seven months, often cross-referencing with the Talmud and Bible. She was convinced that Islam was the truth.

Muslims, the First Feminists In her 1994 book, Price of Honor, Jan Goodwin wrote a chapter titled, ‘Muslims, the First Feminist”, where she discusses the history of the Muslim religion and what it is actually like today. She then goes on to describe the shame a daughter can do to the parents and their relationship and the life that child will go on to live, if she does live. Goodwin concludes by pointing out that feminism in the Islamic world has a long history. The history of the Muslim religion was unknown to me and I think most non-Muslim people can say the same. It begins with Mohammad’s first wife, Khaclija.
My favorite verse from that section was Exodus 21:22-25. I had never heard of the premature fine or retaliation and it is very interesting because it does paint a perfect picture that even in biblical times it was not okay to abort. My favorite part from the philosophical section was when they talked about quality of life as a reason for abortion. I liked the example the article gave of May, Jesus’s mother.

When it comes to pregnancy, a couple can choose to do so if they don’t have any type of medical complications. When medical complications or other factors prevent the couple from having children, they can choose to adopt as an alternative to still help them live a success family life. Adoption not only helps the couple, but also gives children a chance at a better life that may not having a family or be in foster care. According to familyequality.org (2014) there are 400,000 kids in the foster system, 100,000 which are adoptable and 23,500 aged out of the system in 2012. If a couple had no right to adopt a child, they would not only be missing a piece of the American Dream, but also the child would be missing an opportunity at a successful life as well.
