Maham: I am very particular about my actions because I am identified as a Muslim. I think very carefully before I make any action, because I know that I’m not just representing me [because] the majority of the world doesn’t see me as me. They see me as, “This is this Muslim woman. She obviously is. She’s got that scarf on, and she just did this. Can you believe it?” Or, “Oh, wow. She did that. Isn’t that wonderful?” I am the poster child for my religion, as far as I’m concerned, so you have to be that much more careful.
