In the chapter, Faith, Lalami recalls how she has often been asked questions in public about Islamic extremist groups. Lalami has no connection to such groups, and yet many white Americans have assumed that all Muslims are in some way connected to extremism. Lalami points out how such assumptions are reflective of ignorance and stereotyping. Greater cultural awareness and sensitivity are necessary so that people do not assume that the worst members of a group are representative of the entire group.
