Secret Life of Muslims: Sebastian Robins and Mona Haydar

Show Caption

After San Bernardino, Sebastian Robins and Mona Haydar were full of despair. But they knew they couldn’t lose hope. This couple devised a plan to combat the Islamophobic backlash in their community by offering free coffee and donuts. The pair set up a Peanuts-style stand in front of their local library to create the #AskAMuslim campaign, answering questions and allowing people to get to know a Muslim.

This is from a series of short films called The Secret Life of Muslims, created by filmmaker Joshua Seftel.
