Description
-
Maaz Ahmed is a nineteen-year-old who attends Marquette University. Maaz identifies as Muslim but is unsure about his religion now, or how much he wants to be involved with it, causing Maaz to have issues in identity in relation to religion and culture. Maaz has traditional parents so conflicts arise when he does not follow his religious practices that his parents expect from him, especially with the career path he is choosing because of a generational gap. Maaz has felt segregated because of how he identifies as a Muslim especially in a predominantly white school and with the major he has chosen which adds to the feeling of division. Although Maaz feels segregated at times being a Muslim and identifying as Queer, he has not felt threatened by the people who discriminate against his culture and identity.
