Latina Muslim converts gather for Eid al-Fitr – Houston, Texas
“When Zulayka Martinez left the Roman Catholic Church and converted to Islam six years ago, she was happy and at peace with her decision. But she felt like an outsider in her new faith.
Looking back, she realizes her problem was more of a cultural and language barrier. Most members of Houston mosques were of Arab or Pakistani backgrounds. She didn’t know any Spanish-speaking Muslims. And as a single woman, she found it especially hard during holidays.”
