Muslims in U.S. celebrate children's Ameens

An article distributed by the Associated Press looks at Ameen, a Muslim rite of passage that celebrates the first time a child reads completely through the Quran in Arabic, and quotes Faizan Haq, a lecturer in Cora Maloney College who teaches Islamic cultural history, who says "In America, the ceremony is highlighted even more. Being here, not in a majority Muslim culture, and still achieving this goal." The article appeared in more than 25 outlets, including The Washington Post, Miami Herald, Chicago Sun Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Fort Worth Star Telegram and Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune.
