Muslim students turned out as a voting bloc for one of their own

Voting was set for the next day, and to her surprise many of the Arab and Muslim students approached her, beaming. “We’re proud of you,” they told her. This was especially true of the other Muslim girls who covered their hair. “We think you’re doing a good job,” they said, after telling her she had their vote.

She had been elected secretary by a landslide. — Moustafa Bayoumi, How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? Being…, 353
