Was anyone else pleasantly surprised to see some Mooselims walking in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics last week? I think all those stereotypes of Muslims as desert-dwellers must have infiltrated my brain, because my first thought was actually: “What the heck are those Muslims doing competing in the snow?!” But of course Muslims live all over the world - near mountains and rivers and plains (we really are everywhere. Bwahaha!). I watched the ceremony in a restaurant and I think I alarmed everyone around me by whooping my support for Morocco, Algeria, Pakistan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran.
