Asma Gull Hasan is a sparkling young ambassador of her faith.
This is a question that many non-Muslims don't stop to ask, but Hasan, an attorney and the child of immigrant parents, goes right to the heart of it with a self-effacing humor not often found in anyone's discussions of religion.
Hasan, a 25-year-old American-born Muslim with Pakistani parents, stridently explains the need for greater understanding of Muslims in America decrying media stereotypes of Muslims as terrorists and fundamentalists.
GULHASAN received us on the steps of his humble dwelling, clad in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, majestic I thought even as a wrinkled shadow of his former self.
GulHasan had a hearty contempt for all things ceremonial, he was happiest when out in the field with his troops.
GULHASAN was warm, sincere, forthright, without a trace of cant or deceit, wholly committed to his command, bold and generous of spirit.
