ABOUT

Zainab Daniju

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 good campaign,I'm a Christian so I understand that people sometimes think you're weird or different because of you're faith. I think it is wrong their is such bad press for Muslims nowadays,I don't think we should stereotype people just because of their faith. My church runs a Youth Encounter program which ivolves meeting Muslim young people from Birmingham having fun togetehr, and discussing our faith - which is really good as we are now quite gfood friends with some Muslim people and have learn to respect their beliefs - although we don't belive the same thing

I'm learning about the muslim culture in r.e and it is fascinating the differences and simallarities in our way of living but at the end of the day we're all human and islam is just another religion muslims aren't horrible to christians

I think this is a brilliant campaign and one that is very close to my heart. It is really important to carry on doing the work that you do as it can make a big difference. Well Done.

Hey Shemiza, I would love to do something in Luton, however I don't really know anything or anyone there so would need some help if I was going to organise anything. It would be great if you would like to be involved in any way or just follow the campaign. I am not able to get the email addresses from comments so if you could send me yours I can keep you informed. Thanks for the comment! Zainab

Salaaaam, love the whole idea, it's nice to see someone takinga stand and showing people that were not all crazy terrorists who oppress women. Would love to help out in marketing or something, so feel free to email me :)

Salaams - cool idea, as long as 'normal' doesn't exclude Muslims with beards and hijabs, and those who choose to wear shalwar kameez. Coz those Muslims are 'normal', too. Seems to me its the hijabis etc who are most likely to be singled out as somehow being not 'normal'!

Yakoub, 21 June 2009 13:21

would love to help with branding and marketing. tell me how.

saira, 14 June 2009 01:43
