VEILED: PERSPECTIVES “No one is outwardly going to say what or how they think about you but I often do feel that there are some preconceived notions during that first introduction with someone new.” Muslims tend to be categorized into one stream of people. They are all labelled identical in personality and religious following. This is where a lot of that preconceived notion comes from. Like every other person outside of Islam, every Muslim is different from the other and practise their religion in a different way. Through various platforms of mass media, Muslims are being homogenized and this gives off the wrong impression and image of who Muslims are.
