2. In what way are the Muslims you see in the photo gallery different?

The Muslims look different because they are all wearing different type of clothing. They are also different skin color. Some of them wore hats and some wore scarves on their heads. Some were happy, some were neutral, and some were sad. Some were either working, studying, or relaxing

//3. What do you think accounts for these differences?// //I think they all look different because everyone can’t look the same. I also think each family has different ways to wear their clothing. You can tell from their facial expressions to see their emotions, and to see what they’re doing. They were probably doing these things. Everyone is not the same and that is the way it should be.//
