So last night I went to book club-the book we were discussing was mine-one of the members is Muslim (from Iran) and she initially was defensive over Islam, "this is your family/mother, not the religion" After a short conversation, she started to tell us about her mental scars /1

She told us of how the religious police drive a certain kind of vehicle in Iran. When she was in Germany crossing a busy street, she saw that specific car-and froze. Her mother screamed at her to move before she got hit, but she was paralyzed w fear.

She told us how the religious police almost arrested her and a friend for not covering properly etc. She blamed the Islamic govt-not Islam. She sees them as separate. I told her my religious police were my family and community.
