<p>aaah! that’s so cool! I’m Muslim too (even it wasn’t obvious already) but i thought there was a chance you might have been christian since in Syria & Lebanon it’s like 50% muslim 50% christian (or something like that). I also have a lot of Egyptian & Palestinian friends as well.</p>
<p>My dad and a good portion of my family know how to speak arabic fluently. But I used to live in the U.A.E. [i’m actually leaving to there tonight to Dubai :)] for almost my entire life but my arabic still sucks…haha. But it’s always improving since I still take Qur’an classes at the local madarasa (kinda forced…lmao) so it helps since I also take arabic and improve my grammar + vocab.</p>
<p>It’s nice knowing other muslim CCer’s living here in AMRIKKA.</p>
<p>I was thinking about writing my essay about being Black + Muslim in America +my experiences abroad and blah blah blah…but i’m still not sure :/</p>
<p>okay…good luck!!! and i hope you’ll get into good places!!! :). Especially Yale since it’s the only ivy that i actually like (but would never be able to get into :() and my cousin’s going there in the fall :D</p>
