Well I guess this is probably the best place I can come to get a response. I got an email forwarded to me from a Boston Globe reporter who really wants to interview a Muslim High school student in Boston. Anyone think they can help her??

Hi, I'm a reporter for the Boston Globe and I saw your e-mail address on
> the masyouth website. I thought you might be able to help me with a story
> I'd like to do about Muslim high school students in the Boston area. I
want
> to hear how they've been faring in the last week,  and how they have
always
> worked to maintain their Muslim identities in the face of the pressure all
> high school students feel to conform and assimilate. I'm interested, for
> example, in talking to girls about why they choose to wear a hijab, and
how
> they view the idea of dating, and how they make decisions that might
> prevent them from doing something with their non-Muslim friends. What I'd
> like to do is meet a few people in person, and spend some time with them
> going to the mall, or to the movies -- doing the things all teenagers do.
> The best thing a newspaper can do, at a time like this, is educate people,
> and it's often through personal stories that readers can best understand
> the world around them.

> If you're interested, you can e-mail me at this address, or call me at
> 617-929-3136. Thanks very much. I look forward to hearing from you.

I know someone in Boston who's active. I forwarded it to her. She hasn't written back yet though.
