Episode Notes

Sarah Suleman, Afia Ansari, Mediha Siddique and Aisha Ahmend came into the Interfaith Encounters studio for a frank discussion of the issue most on their minds as young Muslim women. Their discussion ranges from the meaning of hijab, to religious identity, exclusion and inclusion, and how being in a Christian nation affects their human rights. It is an often surprising conversation that takes us from going to Muslim high school to a college lab to the way the streets of Iran affect Muslim women on the streets of America.
