Long Answer

1. Cassandra is a convert, demonstrating that not all Muslims are born into the faith. She is English by birth, and her appearance does not support the stereotype of all Muslims having darker coloring. She does not wear the hijab and likes to be noticed for her looks, which shows the variety of interpretations of Islam among even the most faithful. (Various chapters)

2. Both women demand that their children conform to their traditional cultural expectations despite the fact that they are raising these children in new cultural surroundings.
