1) Young Muslim Funnymen Become YouTube Stars: This BBC clip features American video pranksters Adam Saleh and Sheikh Akbar, and UK comedian Humza Arshad. These funnymen share the same goal: to challenge people’s perception of Islam and to entertain.
2) YOU’RE a Syrian Refugee: Be, literally, a part of the experience as a Syrian refugee. The BBC presents this interactive journey where you can feel the soul-crushing challenges a typical Syrian has to experience exiling their own country due to the civil war.
3) The Muslim American Experience Set to Anime: From figuring out where to pray in public to an irrational man deriding Muslim children about 9-11, the Muslim American experience is set to evocative animation in this Huffington Post project.
4) Afghan Female Activists On Their Own: A new report from Amnesty International finds that the Afghan government is offering little protection to female activists as the threat of violence increases.
