Recent read
I recently read an article in the Star Tribune titled True to their Faith, True to their Teams. It's about Minnesota varsity high school athletes who are Muslim. Starting in the beginning of September most Muslims observe Ramadan, where Muslims fast for a month from dawn to dusk. The teens wake up before five in the morning so they can have a big meal. This is interesting because it shows that the teens feel their faith is more important than their faith. I read the article because my mom said it was very interesting and because it had to do with cross country. I was very impressed that teens have enough will power to do this. It also impressed me that they thought religion was more important than sports.
