[Hayat21435]

I don’t quite fit your criteria, of being a strange religion/culture combo but I come from a strange mix nonetheless. My mom’s family is Mormon, Irish-Scottish-German white, lower-middle class, blue-collar family from rural Indiana. My dad’s family is Muslim, upper class, with a line traced to royalty from Indian immigrants to Pakistan. As a kid, my siblings and I were as weird as it comes. We attended church, with my sisters in head scarves and long dresses, and mosque, with more knowledge in our heads of the old and new testaments and the Book of Mormon than of the Quran. We hosted missionaries at home and brought veiled friends back to the family reunions. My grandmother actually came to my elder brother’s wedding in Pakistan, being the first time she has left the US, and the first person in her entire family to go to Asia. On my mom’s side we’re the only ‘colored’ people and non-Christians (we children chose Islam as adults) in the whole huge clan. On my dad’s side we’re just weirdos. I’ve yet to meet another family like us. You can imagine that when people ask my nationality it takes a long time to figure it out. I’m better off just saying I’m Chinese and leave people guessing.
