The Muslim community in north America has too many single Muslims. This circumstance is heightened by three realities that negatively impact the Muslim marriage market.
Studies conducted by both the Pew Research Center and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding report that more than half of the Muslim population in the United States is married.
It is no secret that Islamophobia is rampant throughout the world in this day and age. Muslims and especially children suffer from bullying and alienation. According to recent studies, Muslim students in public schools face bullying at twice the rate of their non-Muslim peers.
By a wide variety of measures, instances of Islamophobia are on the rise across the globe. Negative impacts from this discriminatory practice have been documented by the United Nations, the European Union, and various nongovernmental organizations worldwide.
Body shaming is degrading, and it often leaves negative consequences on a child’s physical, mental, and spiritual health. Although it can be a tool or fuel for bullying behavior, body shaming is also executed across culture and the media, both online and print.
Bullying - the intentional act of harming another person or what may be attributed in the Arabic language as Zulm - is becoming a growing concern for children as well as adults, in different segments of the society, the world over.
