... 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."

Extremist muslims cut your head off.
Moderate muslims want extremist muslims to cut your head off.
Try being a Christian in one of your s***hole countries- you(blank)!
I doubt it, as it should have happened a long time ago. Can you say "desaparecidos"?
Good job. I would send it to the conservative media, if it still exists.

“I just love lectures on tolerance from the media.”
I like how a plurality of muslims in the USA support terrorism, but we are ordered not to judge muslims, while a statistically insignificant (less than the general population) percentage of legal gun owners commit violent crime, and all gun owners are all potential violent nuts.
Is that her? She’d get beaten to death by ISIS hags for wearing her scarf that way
She should leave this racist country and go,live with her peace loving co religionists
GO THE F*** BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!
One is likely her. It’s the photo that accompanied the article.
When America was run by Americans, the people of this “faith” would have been rounded up and sent back packing to their home countries in a mass deportation.
The also would have been prohibited from immigrating here ever again.
As we now have it....we embrace them, and keep asking for more of this kind of “tolerance” that they so wish for....in the form of FOUR DEAD MARINES.
MOHAMMED WAS A CHILD MOLESTING RAPIST & HIS GOD IS SATAN!!!!!
Muslim? You mean a follower of Mohammed, the terrorist war lord who murdered entire villages, etc etc. The problem is the language used to describe these folks, they follow islam, a terrorist ideology of hatred.
They have about 1400 years of backpedalling to do.
Neither has honesty, self sacrifice nor goodwill of any kind, for that matter.
In fact generally they're greedy and self serving, in other words, pretty sh*tty people.
The only worldly peace in islam is in the muslim section of the cemetery.
“Abdulazeez said. “There’s this misconception that Islam is a violent religion. Muslims are actually peaceful.”
They are actually liars, not peaceful. 9/11 is all you need to know about islam.
Uh, yes I do...That's why I want you out of my Country and for the U.S. to be muzlim free...
Did yasmeen threaten to murder anyone who disagreed with her supposed “religion”? If she didn’t, she will/ ALL moozlums are anti-civilization.
Taqiyya - lying to infidels.
There is no way this sister didnt know her brother was ready to go off.
A lot of self-described “Palestinians” used to live in Kuwait.... At least until the Kuwaitis kicked them out for collaborating with Saddam.
On the whole other ME nations don’t want Palestinians in their land. They know they’re violent and a difficult culture. They’re a nasty bunch no doubt.
