Ryan and Aaron's experience on JUA DAY 2

Today we did two things. We went to the Islamic Society at Boston University and we went to the Museum of Fine Arts. At the Museum of Fine Arts we looked at Islamic art and saw how it differed from the rest of the art in the museum. We noticed that in most of the art there was gold plating on it. So if there were many vases, pots, and pictures in which the writing on it would be in gold. At BU we met with the Islamic Society and it is basically for the Muslims who attend BU. It gives them a chance to pray, celebrate, and meet amongst each other. While we were meeting with them they told us about their experiences in as well as out of school. For instance, one of the members names was Osama, and he told us about his experiences in an Islamic school, and then going to a public school. Then another member was Alex an he let us know that he just converted to Islam two years ago. He let us know the reasoning behind converting, and how his life has changed. Alex also told us about his life before and after converting.
