Being White in a Muslim World: Interview with Two Girls Working in a Muslim Office

By elan on from www.elanthemag.com

Jennie Goldstein and Mariel (real name: Mary Eleanor Theresa Katherine Francis!) Davis are two very nice white girls. They are from the Upper West Side and New Jersey, respectively, and have interests like the French language and musical theater. They went to good colleges and have friends who went on to become investment bankers and law students. But not Jennie and Mariel - oh no, these ladies took a most unexpected path after graduation; they work with me at an Arab-American (and predominantly Muslim) non-profit. How did two such nice white girls end up working with the Muslims?  And what is it like for them now that they’ve infiltrated our world? They give elan the inside scoop.
