ABOUT

Muslims - Normal Too

Zainab Daniju London

"Today it seems you're either Muslim or you're normal, I want to totally change that view"

My campaign

I’m campaigning to wipe out stereotypical ideas of what it means to be a Muslim. I want to change people’s perspectives so they realise that the word ‘Muslim’ defines a whole range of people from different backgrounds and with different interests. I'm sick of Muslims being portrayed as crazy fanatics.

My Campaign highlights

- Meeting the deputy editor of Emel magazine

- Meeting young British Muslim, Dahlia Bashar, at Google

- Meeting the organisers of the Eid Festival in Trafalgar Square

- Meeting events organiser, Kate Risker

How can you help?

- Let me know if you are a Muslim who would like to be photographed for my poster campaign – showing non-stereotypical images of Muslims

- Let me know if you are a Muslim performer who would like to perform at my festival next summer

- Let me know if you can help take photographs for my poster campaign

- Let me know if you can help with the branding and marketing of my campaign

I think this is a really great campaign. I am not muslim myself but I think it's amazing what you are doing and I would love to get involved in helping with the photography. I am only 17 and from Norwich so I don't know if there is much I can do from around here. If there is let me know, you can contact me via email beth_howman_1992@hotmail.co.uk the campaign is doing great, keep going.

Dear Zainab, Just saw some of your videos, trully you are my role model now and i would love to do the same work as you. It would be a pleasure for me do do something like this as well i would love to be a part of this so much. Being 14, i guess this type of topics are always in the media and you are always aware of it.

Salaam, first of all just wanted to say that I think this is great campaign and one that most definitely needs to be given due attention. Leciester - where I study, has a wealth of muslims in the community that are more than willing to be a part of something like this... If I can be of any help, please do let me know.

Hi there, Firstly i feel your campaign is brilliant initiative, the stereotype to youths has got to end. Me and two of my friends i work with are incredibly into art. Reading your campaign has given us ideas to join your work through art. We would like to produce work of different styles to add your marketing and branding. You already seem to have alot of photographers but we would like to try that to. We are also in the making to set up a local magazine explore culture,religion and lifestyle. Blackburn is a pretty multi-cultural town, and we have a separation of societies. Theres alot of stereotype where we come from and art being our strength your campaign fits in well. Let us know how we can be involved if you feel theres a relevance :) Good Luck and keep it up :)

I would like to help take photographs for your campaign and also to be photographed for your poster.

Would love to get involved in any way possible. I'm a 15 year old Muslim girl, wear a headscarf and would love to be photographed for your poster campaign? x

Hi, I work at Demotix and we will soon expand from a citizen-journalism news-site that enables photographers -from budding amateurs to experienced professionals - to have their stories published to a news-site that will also incorporate video footage. I have been looking through your videos and would like you to join the website. Your videos can be seen by thousands of our daily viewers and you will be part of our huge network of over 14,000 contributors. Thanks, please contact me for further info.

Hey Muna, Thanks so much for your message. I think you made a really good point, it seems lots of people are judged because they wear hijab. I think it's great that you were thinking of doing something to highlight this and would love to be able to work together in any way. I do not have access to the emails of people who comment on this page, so if you want to get in touch just drop me an email at zainabdaniju@yahoo.co.uk Thanks! Zainab x

Salaam, As a Muslim I appreciate what you are doing for Muslim,and i love it so many thanks but theres many othe asspect that need to be coverd I.e Hijab which Many Girls Get Stero typed and it hurts me coz i were it to and there sudden reaction i know its not good they give look, they kiss there teeth i mean i thought this was a free contry like foollow the rules and then your fine but to me personally i feel like im just breaking the law but i obviously aint its, because of the way they look at me and others to which is very degrading anywayz Zainab Many thanks for touching down on this i was gunna do it myslef till i saw yours, anywayz reply and what you think about what i said,Thanks :D

Muna Hussein, 26 February 2010 21:36

Salaam sister. I think it's great, what you're doing. It's really good. What happened was that I was in a PSHRE lesson and they were showing us the Battlefront thing, so I saw a bit of yours. It's really good that a good Muslim who can pronounce the word "Muslim" correctly (not "Muzlim" like most people) is doing this campaign. Keep it up!
