This project was part of our University of California, Berkeley course taught by Dr.Hatem Bazian called Asians in America 128AC: Muslims in America. We divided into groups and went out into the Bay Area Muslim communities to interview and collect their community stories.

I am a Business Administration junior at Haas School of Business - UC Berkeley. I will graduate in Spring, 2015. The most exciting thing about the Muslims in America class for me is having the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Name: Yevgeniy A. Rokhin
Major: Legal Studies
Interests: Travel, Sports (i.e. Football/Footbol and American Football), trying different cuisine, cycling, and having kick backs with friends.
I'm a Senior majoring in Legal Studies. I was born in Siberia, Russia. Traditionally I fall under the Eastern European Orthodox Christianity (I was baptized at a Orthodox church when I was born). I have some Muslim friends and some friends that are not necessarily Muslim, but come from the SWANA region. ASAMST128AC has expanded my knowledge about Muslims and portrayal of Muslims. One of the most interesting lectures was the lecture when we watched the mini-documentary called "Reel Bad Arab".
