Farah Siddique also knows what it means to feel marginalized, and she is grateful to "Postcards From Buster" for helping her feel less so. Farah, 12, lives in a Chicago suburb with Pakistani and Filipino parents who are Muslim. In a telephone interview, she explained why she was happy to appear on "Postcards From Buster," wearing her hijab (a head covering) and studying the Koran.
"It was important to tell people about my religion and everything," she said. "Some people think we're bad because of 9/11 or something, and I'm telling them we are not bad, we're not trying to hurt anyone or do anything wrong."
Asked what she thought about PBS's decision not to distribute the "Buster" episode about the children with two mothers, she said: "We don't believe in that stuff. My opinion is that it is bad or wrong. My sister is 7, and she watches PBS Kids shows. I wouldn't want her to watch that kind of thing."
What if people said they wouldn't want to watch the episode about her because they don't like Muslims?
Without hesitation Farah replied: "Wow, I hadn't thought about it like that. Can I change what I said? If people were judging me because of my religion I would get really sad. Now I think maybe they should show it."
Logic triumphs again! Good thing, too, because this is exactly what that girl has to be scared of, the sillies ruling this country.
Edit: *laughs* Thank you,
strangelette!

First, let me say that I am very sorry for not thanking Asa for paying for everyone's dinner Sunday. Thanks. *hugs*
Second, today we went out for lunch at Vida's. Oh god. Their food is wonderful. Remember when I oohed and aahed over their apple cheesecake? The pumpkin cheesecake is even better. And the apple cider. And the kielbasa, gorgonzola, red onion marmalade sandwich.... *drools*
Seriously, this food is the best. Didn't get to see Ana or 'dul, though. They're upstate (if it's north of the city limits, but still within NYS, it's upstate. Shut up) with 'dul's mom, having a massive fight.
