Quote:
"Me and the Mosque premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival. Then it screened on Vision TV and finally on CBC Television. Making a documentary that was critical of the community hadn't made me popular, though. Friends thought my timing was terrible and that I was handing ammunition to the 'Muslims are sexist' publicity machine. They felt we should sort out our issues in private. But I felt that the outside world would judge us less harshly if it saw that we too were struggling with gender equality."
