The Muslim American Christmas Dilemma

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

Is it still a dilemma? When does assimilation cross the line into imitation? And what happens when you have a non-Muslim family that observes Christmas? These and many other questions, including above all, how to maintain our kids’ Muslim American identity are on today’s show.

Fun fact: This episode was recorded fall 2018 as we started planning the podcast, edited ourselves, but it hasn’t aired until now, so we’re especially nostalgic about our intentions in this episode. All the feels!
