... She's among several Muslin teens voicing concerns over anti-Muslim sentiments they believe are rising as controversies surrounding Islam capture national attention.
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga freshman Yasmeen Abdulazeez, 17, was told by a professor that he would lower her grade when she asked to miss class for a religious holiday. She dropped the class instead.
Abdulazeez, who has worn the head covering since she was a child, said she has experienced many problems as a result. A referee during a volleyball tournament refused to allow her to play because of her headscarf.
Chattanooga's Muslim teens said they feel a responsibility to help dispel the negative stereotypes of their faith.
Before graduating from Red Bank High School, Abdulazeez said some of the students would harass her. She said she saw that as an opportunity to dispel misconceptions about her faith.
"I'm not afraid to go straight toward them and ask them, 'Do you really know what Islam is?' " Abdulazeez said. "There's this misconception that Islam is a violent religion. Muslims are actually peaceful."

So far I read, they all demand special treatment. How’s that going to ‘dispel the negative stereotyping’?
How’s that workin’ out for ya, there, Yasmeen?
“help dispel the negative stereotypes of their faith”
Her brother helped out so well.
Muslims are actually peaceful.”

yes today right in my own backyard I noticed just how peaceful is defined in your religion...
your own brother murdered 4 people and shot others in the name of your hateful religion..
I just love lectures on tolerance from the media.
Sounds like they are trying to say they are an oppressed group, and therefore are victims, even if they go around killing noble Marines. The MSM will pick up this theme, soon enough, and the USMC flag will be outlawed and torn down within the next few weeks.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but he murdered four Marines.
Something big will eventually happen unless this crap is stopped, and I hope that the names of the enablers are being taken. Just sayin’.
You evil swine. Get the hell out of this country.
Jews are the subject of more attacks than Muslims. Isn’t it unusual that Jewish people aren’t then shooting up places?
And to keel you!
Hey, lady! May your brother be raped by 72 men in Hell!
Just because that 99.9999% of the terrorist in the world are Muslims, why would anyone think badly of them?
“’Do you really know what Islam is?’ “ Abdulazeez said. “There’s this misconception that Islam is a violent religion. Muslims are actually peaceful.”
Ah yes....sudden Jihad syndrome again.
Wishful thinking. The "something big" is the victory of those who want to hurt and destroy all that is good. While it has been happening, most people have just shrugged it off.
Chattanooga defends muslims.
I think I just lost my sympathy for what happened. You welcome venomous snakes into your home, don’t complain when you are bitten.
I just hope Obama gets some blame out of this.
Oh that reminds me
