A nice note, and touching video, from loyal reader Katie:

Hi, this is Katie Damien. I’m an Asheville filmmaker and I wanted to share this video about a local Egyptian woman. This short was made for the Muslim American Project (www.themuslimamericanproject.org) to help promote tolerance and a better understanding of what it is to be a Muslim living in America. 

Thanks,

Katie

Here’s what’s posted with the video:

The American Muslim Project was created to combat ignorance and help create a more tolerant America. This video was made in answer to their call for videos to help combat Islamaphobia. Sarah is an average American woman…who happens to be Muslim. Listen to her story.
