I found this article a few days ago when I was reading the paper and thought it was really interesting. It begins with a great lede that pulls the reader in and makes them want to continue reading to learn more about Haidara and the other young girls who appear in the article, and discussion of the discrimination Muslims face begins in the second paragraph. The combination of a widely stereotyped and misunderstood group with an all-American institution like the Girl-Scouts makes the article very interesting and informative, as it manages to discuss both the girls' devotion to their faith and awareness about their situation as well as how much fun the girls have participating in Girl Scout activities. I found it really interesting how there are customized badges for Muslim girl scouts that reward the girls for various activities connected to their religion, and how the author showed that Muslim's today can participate in "normal" all-American activities and be proud of living in American while still keeping true to their faith.
