In this book, we see how life is different in an Islam country than our own. The religion is different and that is how it can affect people's lives. The traditions of he native people in those countries can be very strict and family oriented that if one person decides to go against the traditional roles, it can have serious consequences on them. Going to a different school can even be hard for an Islamic person to do just because of the many different roles other countries play. It is important to know that clothing is a major part in Islamic lives. This is because women are to wear gowns not revealing anything so it draws attention to them in a postive or negative way. The bottom line is that we need to realize that other people have different faiths and beliefs and we need to respect that and accept them for who they are.
If we look at Iran, there are many different stereotypes that can we assume. We may look at Iran as a terrorist country or one full of fundamentalist views, but that is not always true in some cases. It can also be seen as a country that produces a lot of oil that we acquire for our country's use. There are many people like us who live in Iran that are innocent and everyday civilians just like us. In other words, Iran does not seem to be such a bad acountry as it is made out to be. It is full of postives and some negatives but the good can out weigh the bad. (Mason Roessler Post 19)
