But some parents encourage their kids to start trying this religious practice of fasting at a much younger age. “My parents started me at the age of 6,” said Shaikh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh remembers feeling tears in her eyes after her first sip of water during iftars when she was 6. “My parents would be like, why are you crying?” she said, adding that she remembers feeling so blessed to be able to observe the fast with her family at a young age. “They were tears of happiness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by the time she was in middle school, she had a more negative experience during Ramadan. “I remember peers and teachers not really understanding why I can’t do certain things [during Ramadan],” she said. Fasting can take a toll mentally and physically, says Shaikh, and she found it challenging to navigate activities like physical education classes — and negative comments from kids at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh says that observing Ramadan during high school was a much better experience than those earlier years. Not only were those teachers more understanding, but she “felt more comfortable being myself, being in my own skin.” This was also the time that she started attending Islamic school on Sundays, and felt that she was able to appreciate and learn more about her faith there. Also through the school, she was able to connect with other people who had similar backgrounds growing up Muslim in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as she experiences this holy month in college, Shaikh says she feels excited: about the moon-sighting event, getting together with her family and community for iftar, and sharing everything about Ramadan with her friends. “I just love explaining to my peers now what Ramadan is, and why we observe Ramadan,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her hope for the new generation of young Muslims in the Bay Area? “Don’t be afraid to be proud of who you are,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11944171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11944171\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/RS63752_GettyImages-1240397744-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man and a young boy, both with darker skin, wear traditional long sleeved purple shirts and pants, sitting down on a prayer mat.

It is, says imam El-Bakri, “the birth month of the Quran.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds that Ramadan therefore “is the birth month of Islam,” and that the “night of destiny” — \u003ca href=\"https://www.muslimaid.org/what-we-do/religious-dues/the-night-of-power-laylat-ul-qadr/\">Laylat al-Qadr\u003c/a> — is said to be the specific day the Quran was revealed.

But some parents encourage their kids to start trying this religious practice of fasting at a much younger age. “My parents started me at the age of 6,” said Shaikh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh remembers feeling tears in her eyes after her first sip of water during iftars when she was 6. “My parents would be like, why are you crying?” she said, adding that she remembers feeling so blessed to be able to observe the fast with her family at a young age. “They were tears of happiness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by the time she was in middle school, she had a more negative experience during Ramadan. “I remember peers and teachers not really understanding why I can’t do certain things [during Ramadan],” she said. Fasting can take a toll mentally and physically, says Shaikh, and she found it challenging to navigate activities like physical education classes — and negative comments from kids at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh says that observing Ramadan during high school was a much better experience than those earlier years. Not only were those teachers more understanding, but she “felt more comfortable being myself, being in my own skin.” This was also the time that she started attending Islamic school on Sundays, and felt that she was able to appreciate and learn more about her faith there. Also through the school, she was able to connect with other people who had similar backgrounds growing up Muslim in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as she experiences this holy month in college, Shaikh says she feels excited: about the moon-sighting event, getting together with her family and community for iftar, and sharing everything about Ramadan with her friends. “I just love explaining to my peers now what Ramadan is, and why we observe Ramadan,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her hope for the new generation of young Muslims in the Bay Area? “Don’t be afraid to be proud of who you are,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11944171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11944171\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/RS63752_GettyImages-1240397744-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man and a young boy, both with darker skin, wear traditional long sleeved purple shirts and pants, sitting down on a prayer mat.

In 1882, when Congress passed the law, there were 39,600 men and women from China who arrived in the U.S. Just three years later, there were only 22, according to early records that Lee came across in her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1876 presidential race between Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden was a major turning point in the country's stance on immigration. Leading up to the election, the race was so close and electoral votes were so coveted, it brought California's ongoing fight to push out Chinese immigrants to the national stage, Lee said. Many Californians worried that Chinese laborers would take their jobs, and that they were sexually lecherous threats to society.[contextly_sidebar id=\"hyKCyWOTBmuma3vComRqYDKa03FprCZc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said that anti-immigrant measures in the 1880s — and today — were driven by both working-class people and elites, as well as those who had a \"vested economic interest in border walls and detention centers.\" The Chinese Exclusion Act set the groundwork for immigrant detention centers and the country's first large-scale deportation of a single immigrant group. Specifically, the exclusion era brought an expansion of the federal government in terms of hiring more immigrant inspectors, whose responsibilities included working as interpreters and at the detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for today's parallel? Lee points to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-border-wall-20170323-story.html\">companies that are vying to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall\u003c/a>, and the question of whether there will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/04/508048666/will-the-private-prison-business-see-a-trump-bump\">more privately owned immigrant detention centers\u003c/a> under President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee says that today's equivalent is the proposed \"Muslim ban,\" because it singles out specific groups of people for discrimination. \"The fact that we don't explicitly name Muslims [in the executive order] is more of a reflection of how our racial sensibilities have changed over the past 135 years, in terms of being more polite in our racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Lee says, like the proposed ban — which Trump says will be in place until vetting procedures are strengthened — the Chinese Exclusion Act was also originally proposed as a temporary law. The exclusion act was meant to be law for a decade but lasted 61 years. It was repealed in 1943 with the Magnuson Act, when the U.S. wanted to foster an alliance with China in the war against Japan. In 2012, Congress \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c3342595/apologizing-chinese-exclusion-act-1882\">passed a resolution formally expressing regret\u003c/a> to Chinese-Americans for the exclusion law and other discriminatory measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while there are many links between the exclusion era and today, there are also important differences. Trump's immigration orders have created \"one of the most divisive eras around immigration\" in history, Lee told NPR. And his policies have had wide-reaching consequences for immigrants that have been met with protests across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cannot think of another time or a set of laws that has the promise to transform immigration so dramatically at every level,\" Lee said. Trump's policies have included banning refugees, increasing border security and interior enforcement, expanding deportation and expedited removal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/executive-order-hire-buy-american-h1b-visa-trump.html\">reforming the H1-B visa program\u003c/a> and attempting to enact a travel ban. Still, Lee said, what's different is the nationwide grass-roots efforts and legal challenges that have sprung up against Trump's immigration policies. \"There were no protests in support of Chinese immigrants [during the exclusion era in the U.S.],\" Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if some immigrants today draw a link between the historical exclusions and Trump's various immigration restrictions, according to Janelle Wong, the director of the Asian-American studies program at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the one hand, more than 60 percent of Asian-American registered voters oppose a 'Muslim Ban.' This is pretty consistent across groups,\" Wong wrote in an email, citing her work on the \u003ca href=\"http://naasurvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/NAAS16-Fall-Oct5-slides.pdf\">National Asian American Survey\u003c/a>. \"On the other hand, the survey also shows that about 20 percent of Chinese Americans, and Asian-American registered voters as a whole, support such a ban.

In 1882, when Congress passed the law, there were 39,600 men and women from China who arrived in the U.S. Just three years later, there were only 22, according to early records that Lee came across in her research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1876 presidential race between Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden was a major turning point in the country's stance on immigration. Leading up to the election, the race was so close and electoral votes were so coveted, it brought California's ongoing fight to push out Chinese immigrants to the national stage, Lee said. Many Californians worried that Chinese laborers would take their jobs, and that they were sexually lecherous threats to society.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said that anti-immigrant measures in the 1880s — and today — were driven by both working-class people and elites, as well as those who had a \"vested economic interest in border walls and detention centers.\" The Chinese Exclusion Act set the groundwork for immigrant detention centers and the country's first large-scale deportation of a single immigrant group. Specifically, the exclusion era brought an expansion of the federal government in terms of hiring more immigrant inspectors, whose responsibilities included working as interpreters and at the detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for today's parallel?

Judges in Maryland, Washington state and Hawaii are hearing challenges Wednesday to the new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House says the executive order Trump signed on March 6 is urgently needed to protect national security. But critics counter that both executive orders are really intended to block immigration from Muslim countries, in violation of the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a look at what to expect in three closely watched cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington state\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal District Judge James L. Robart — who blocked much of the White House's first travel ban last month — held a hearing at 5 p.m. ET in Seattle. The case was brought by four citizens or permanent residents in Washington who argue that access to visas for their family members would be disrupted by the revised travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robart has already ruled against the Trump administration once before; his ruling was later upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Rather than defend its original travel ban, the Trump administration replaced it with a new one that the White House argues is \"substantially different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revised executive order temporarily blocks entry by travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, not seven. (Iraq was dropped from the list.) And the new order makes clear that it doesn't apply to lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders, or to people holding valid visas issued before the ban takes effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those changes aren't enough to satisfy Washington state and Minnesota, which brought the challenge to the original travel ban. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson — along with his counterparts from New York, California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Oregon — asked the court to extend its injunction to block the new order, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're looking at is what Donald Trump said when he was running for president,\" Ferguson told NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>. \"He said he wanted to create a Muslim ban.\" Ferguson argues that's \"strong evidence that the intent behind these executive orders was actually less about national security and more about a Muslim ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a charge the White House denies. Lawyers for the Department of Justice say the president has broad authority when it comes to border security. And they say the 90-day travel ban is needed to shore up vetting procedures from six countries that either are state sponsors of terrorism or have harbored terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maryland\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two refugee rights groups are challenging the revised travel ban in Maryland with help from the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center. They're asking the court to block the second travel ban order \"in its entirety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Wall argued that the executive order \"doesn't say anything about religion\" and \"doesn't send a religious message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the plaintiffs say this is a Muslim ban, like Trump proposed on the campaign trail. Lee Gelernt of the ACLU tells NPR that the context of the order, including Trump's campaign statements, should be considered and makes the order's intent clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The purpose of this was to ban Muslims and we are hopeful that the judge, like other courts, will ... not turn a blind eye to what's happening — that the administration just made certain tweaks to get around a court order but still has the same policy purpose,\" Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang said he would rule soon, but not necessarily Wednesday.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the original travel ban, the revised version suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days. It also cuts the number of refugees the U.S. will accept this year by more than half, from 110,000 to 50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some changes, as well. Refugees from Syria are no longer banned indefinitely. And the revised order drops language that was intended to favor religious minorities, which Trump signaled would apply to persecuted Christians from the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the White House announced the second travel ban last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions offered some new support for the temporary freeze on refugee resettlement. \"More than 300 people who came here as refugees are under FBI investigation for potential terrorism-related activities,\" Sessions said. But the Department of Justice declined to provide further information about the nature of those cases or which countries those refugees came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugee resettlement organizations argue that there's no legitimate reason for the ban. They say it would cause lasting harm to them and the people they assist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just about picking up refugees at the airport,\" said Mark Hetfield, CEO of HIAS, one of the nine major resettlement agencies and a plaintiff in the Maryland case. On a conference call with reporters, Hetfield said that agencies like his offer a range of services, such as help locating and furnishing apartments, finding a job and getting kids signed up for school. If the refugee program is suspended, Hetfield says, it will be \"very difficult to get things going again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hawaii\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third hearing is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. ET in Hawaii, in a case brought by the state of Hawaii and a local imam. As in the other cases, lawyers argue that the travel ban discriminates against Muslims.

The order temporarily halts the U.S. refugee program and travel from six mostly Muslim countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some state attorneys general and immigration advocates were able to get the first order suspended. Judges in Maryland, Washington state and Hawaii are hearing challenges Wednesday to the new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House says the executive order Trump signed on March 6 is urgently needed to protect national security. But critics counter that both executive orders are really intended to block immigration from Muslim countries, in violation of the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a look at what to expect in three closely watched cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington state\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal District Judge James L. Robart — who blocked much of the White House's first travel ban last month — held a hearing at 5 p.m. ET in Seattle. The case was brought by four citizens or permanent residents in Washington who argue that access to visas for their family members would be disrupted by the revised travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robart has already ruled against the Trump administration once before; his ruling was later upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Rather than defend its original travel ban, the Trump administration replaced it with a new one that the White House argues is \"substantially different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revised executive order temporarily blocks entry by travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, not seven. (Iraq was dropped from the list.) And the new order makes clear that it doesn't apply to lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders, or to people holding valid visas issued before the ban takes effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those changes aren't enough to satisfy Washington state and Minnesota, which brought the challenge to the original travel ban. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson — along with his counterparts from New York, California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Oregon — asked the court to extend its injunction to block the new order, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're looking at is what Donald Trump said when he was running for president,\" Ferguson told NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>. \"He said he wanted to create a Muslim ban.\" Ferguson argues that's \"strong evidence that the intent behind these executive orders was actually less about national security and more about a Muslim ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a charge the White House denies. Lawyers for the Department of Justice say the president has broad authority when it comes to border security. And they say the 90-day travel ban is needed to shore up vetting procedures from six countries that either are state sponsors of terrorism or have harbored terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maryland\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two refugee rights groups are challenging the revised travel ban in Maryland with help from the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center. They're asking the court to block the second travel ban order \"in its entirety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Wall argued that the executive order \"doesn't say anything about religion\" and \"doesn't send a religious message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the plaintiffs say this is a Muslim ban, like Trump proposed on the campaign trail. Lee Gelernt of the ACLU tells NPR that the context of the order, including Trump's campaign statements, should be considered and makes the order's intent clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The purpose of this was to ban Muslims and we are hopeful that the judge, like other courts, will ... not turn a blind eye to what's happening — that the administration just made certain tweaks to get around a court order but still has the same policy purpose,\" Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang said he would rule soon, but not necessarily Wednesday.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the original travel ban, the revised version suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days. It also cuts the number of refugees the U.S. will accept this year by more than half, from 110,000 to 50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some changes, as well. Refugees from Syria are no longer banned indefinitely. And the revised order drops language that was intended to favor religious minorities, which Trump signaled would apply to persecuted Christians from the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the White House announced the second travel ban last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions offered some new support for the temporary freeze on refugee resettlement. \"More than 300 people who came here as refugees are under FBI investigation for potential terrorism-related activities,\" Sessions said. But the Department of Justice declined to provide further information about the nature of those cases or which countries those refugees came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugee resettlement organizations argue that there's no legitimate reason for the ban. They say it would cause lasting harm to them and the people they assist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just about picking up refugees at the airport,\" said Mark Hetfield, CEO of HIAS, one of the nine major resettlement agencies and a plaintiff in the Maryland case. On a conference call with reporters, Hetfield said that agencies like his offer a range of services, such as help locating and furnishing apartments, finding a job and getting kids signed up for school. If the refugee program is suspended, Hetfield says, it will be \"very difficult to get things going again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hawaii\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third hearing is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. ET in Hawaii, in a case brought by the state of Hawaii and a local imam. As in the other cases, lawyers argue that the travel ban discriminates against Muslims. They say the executive order would harm the economy of Hawaii by disrupting tourism and educational institutions that depend on tuition from foreign students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice rejects that claim as speculation. A DOJ lawyer argued that the travel ban is based on nationality, not religion, and therefore is perfectly legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge in Hawaii has said that he will issue a ruling before midnight ET.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also a handful of cases challenging the revised travel ban in other parts of the country, including Wisconsin, Virginia, and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

At the only accredited Muslim college in the United States, students spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna is located on ‘‘Holy Hill’’ in Berkeley, just around the corner from the Graduate Theological Union, a consortium of Christian seminaries affiliated with University of California, Berkeley. The college emerged from the Zaytuna Institute, an Islamic educational organization founded in nearby Hayward in 1996. The college admitted its first class in 2010 and was accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘‘How are we going to engage the broader community if we’re only working within our own community?’’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The school has 60 students, split almost equally between men and women. About half are from California, and the rest are from other parts of the United States. Students don’t take out loans, and they graduate debt-free, although most of them receive financial assistance from the school, which is supported by individual American Muslim donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna offers only one bachelor’s degree, in Islamic law and theology, but the curriculum combines Islamic and Western teachings. If students are going to be Muslims in the United States, Zaytuna believes they need to understand the country’s history and founding principles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Religious study isn’t enough at this college. Islam may be the world’s second-largest religion, but in the United States, it is the subject of much misunderstanding and even hatred, and its adherents are often maligned. At Zaytuna, young Muslims are asked to figure out the future of their faith in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From Islamophobia to Conversion\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘I’m an American and I’m a Muslim and those things can go together,’’ says Nirav Bhardwaj, a 25-year-old sophomore at Zaytuna. ‘‘Unfortunately, people think being Muslim means hiding in a little pocket. That’s not what it’s about.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj is a convert to Islam. He was raised Hindu. Both of his parents are from Rajasthan in northern India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj says he was ‘‘Islamaphobic’’ in college. But after graduating from University of California, Irvine, with a degree in business administration, he got what he describes as his ‘‘dream job,’’ working for a major league baseball team doing statistics for scouting and player development. While traveling with the team, he became disillusioned. ‘‘We had players who were married,’’ he says, ‘‘and that just went out the window when they were out at the clubs. It was all about seeking immediate satisfaction. I started asking myself, ‘What are you doing? What benefit does baseball provide society anyway? What is the purpose of life?’’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, a Muslim friend shared some Islamic lectures with Bhardwaj. ‘‘I opened a Koran and started reading it, and it worked,’’ he says.

At the only accredited Muslim college in the United States, students spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna is located on ‘‘Holy Hill’’ in Berkeley, just around the corner from the Graduate Theological Union, a consortium of Christian seminaries affiliated with University of California, Berkeley. The college emerged from the Zaytuna Institute, an Islamic educational organization founded in nearby Hayward in 1996. The college admitted its first class in 2010 and was accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘‘How are we going to engage the broader community if we’re only working within our own community?’’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The school has 60 students, split almost equally between men and women. About half are from California, and the rest are from other parts of the United States. Students don’t take out loans, and they graduate debt-free, although most of them receive financial assistance from the school, which is supported by individual American Muslim donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna offers only one bachelor’s degree, in Islamic law and theology, but the curriculum combines Islamic and Western teachings. If students are going to be Muslims in the United States, Zaytuna believes they need to understand the country’s history and founding principles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Religious study isn’t enough at this college. Islam may be the world’s second-largest religion, but in the United States, it is the subject of much misunderstanding and even hatred, and its adherents are often maligned. At Zaytuna, young Muslims are asked to figure out the future of their faith in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From Islamophobia to Conversion\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘I’m an American and I’m a Muslim and those things can go together,’’ says Nirav Bhardwaj, a 25-year-old sophomore at Zaytuna. ‘‘Unfortunately, people think being Muslim means hiding in a little pocket. That’s not what it’s about.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj is a convert to Islam. He was raised Hindu. Both of his parents are from Rajasthan in northern India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj says he was ‘‘Islamaphobic’’ in college. But after graduating from University of California, Irvine, with a degree in business administration, he got what he describes as his ‘‘dream job,’’ working for a major league baseball team doing statistics for scouting and player development. While traveling with the team, he became disillusioned. ‘‘We had players who were married,’’ he says, ‘‘and that just went out the window when they were out at the clubs. It was all about seeking immediate satisfaction. I started asking myself, ‘What are you doing? What benefit does baseball provide society anyway? What is the purpose of life?’’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, a Muslim friend shared some Islamic lectures with Bhardwaj. ‘‘I opened a Koran and started reading it, and it worked,’’ he says. Bhardwaj decided to travel in the Muslim world and quit his job. He and his friend went to Egypt. It was there that Bhardwaj converted, while studying with a local sheik in 6th of October City outside Cairo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was tension when he returned home. ‘‘I don’t think I’ve ever made my mom cry except for two times,’’ he says, ‘‘and one of those times was when I told her I converted.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj says his mother has become supportive after seeing how he has found his place at Zaytuna.
