Between Two Worlds: A Muslim Mother in Post-9/11 America
What happens when your private identity suddenly becomes public property? For Ranya Tabari Idliby, the September 11 attacks transformed her casual relationship with Islam into something she could no longer ignore. Growing up in Kuwait with a Palestinian refugee father who had built a successful life in America, Islam was simply the backdrop of her childhood-joyful Eid celebrations and family gatherings without hijabs or rigid practices. Her mother approached religion practically, using Islamic teachings to instill values while comfortably asking Christian friends to light church candles for her. After becoming an American citizen at twenty-two, Islam receded into the background as career and family took priority. Then 9/11 changed everything. Suddenly, checking "Muslim" on hospital forms wasn't just entering a category-it was declaring an identity under scrutiny. As Jewish and Christian friends gathered at her home after the attacks, Islam became the elephant in the room that couldn't be ignored. Years later, her son would face the unthinkable question: "As a Muslim, do you celebrate 9/11?"
