At long last we can begin sharing the wonderful portraits and stories from Muslim North Carolinians. Take peak at their images in this you tube, then go to http://www.muslimselfportrait.info and enjoy their images, essays, and audio. (More of the latter to come.)
I am still traveling the state and can help a few more participants. Let me know if you are interested.

Why this project is necessary
I stayed up until 2 AM last night putting the finishing touches on a promotional video for this project. This morning I opened the paper and found a story that is even more effective. It is on Yusra Alaqrah, a sister who lives in Greensboro and has had eggs thrown at her home since 2005. Ever smelled a rotten egg? It stinks. Just like the attitude that propelled it. Read her complete story at http://www.news-record.com/content/2009/05/09/article/the_ugly_side_of_our_city
I will be inviting her to join this project.
