The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Rania - On Being Muslim and More
Meet Rania Zeithar: A Middle-Eastern Arabic Muslim woman who has lived on three continents: Africa (Egypt), Asia (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), and now North America (the United States). Rania is married with two children and currently works in special education in the Plano public school system in the US. She is a member of Plano Library’s writers’ group and keeps current with a blog.
In this episode, we explored her tripartite life as a Muslim, African, and an American woman. Other topics explored included whether Islam is a religion of peace and how/why do extremists justify their actions using the Qur’an. It was important for me to initiate this conversation because I could not reconcile the Muslims I knew, while growing up in Nigeria, with the ones portrayed on the news. In short, I wanted to create a space for civil discourse on these matters.
Fun facts about Rania
- She overcame glossophobia to help who are suffering from Islamophobia.
- Has written and published a book and is currently working on another one.
- Credits the humanity and kindness in the American people she’s met in helping her navigate America better.
