Hi everyone.
I want to ask a question, specifically geared at muslim applicants. I also welcome anyone with input to comment.
At any rate, I was more or less raised muslim, and this kind of thing came up in a couple of my interviews largely because of a study abroad that I did in Egypt. For whatever reasons, I am actually pretty insecure about the subject in general. I have pretty complicated views about most of the contemporary issues dealing with Islam (terrorism, war in Iraq, Palestine). Thus far, I have tried to steer my interviews toward other topics.
However, I am curious to know how other practicing or non-practicing muslims address questions about Islam and related contemporary issues. I was also wondering if you have been fasting during interviews (I have not). Of course, this becomes a non-issue next week.
