Like many, Areej Kattan doesn't like how Muslims and her religion are portrayed. Unlike many, she's doing something about it.
Upset by recent scrutiny of her religion and eager to put a positive face on her faith, she started a Facebook campaign to post positive news stories, interviews and other items about Islam.
"Within my circle of friends they're showing their frustration (but) they're trying to make a difference," said Kattan, a Wayne State University student and Dearborn resident.
That sort of activism has helped ease relations between Muslims and people of other faiths in Michigan when they've suffered nationwide, experts said.
While Kattan and others are worried about the view of their religion nationwide, they acknowledge tensions aren't as severe in Metro Detroit. (CONT.) |
