The best part of Syria was all the cute little chinese Muslims. I remember being at this internet cafe, where this husband and wife would come to talk to their family via skype. They would carry around their cute little baby Salim. I got to play and toss little Salim around. Many people in the West have little knowledge about Muslims and think were all brown and from the Middle East. Well this isn't so alarming after you find out how many people believe Pakistan is part of the Middle East. Anyways back to Muslim Chinese people, theres over 20 million Muslims in China. China's oppressive Communist history has led many adherents of Islam to conceal their faith. Hence, we are still unaware of how many Muslims are actually in China.
Anyways, if you want to find out more about Chinese Muslims go to Syria, youll meet a ton.
There super friendly, and really cute in hijaabs and kufees. Also, whilst at Abu Nour I was super jealous of their tajweed and arabic skills.
Aminah.
super interesting
