Minneapolis, MN- Good location, Great friends and an idea which has been a few years in the making. Minnesota Deaf Muslim Community(MDMC). Their first deaf social which is hoped to be the first of many to come. An organization which is made up of a group who is marginalized just because they are different from what is not considered the norm with in a community which is marginalized just because they are already different.
MDMC is a newly formed organization which hopes to be a resource for the deaf and hearing with in and out side the Muslim community. Started at the end of the summer of 2013, they are currently working to making their dream of being a leader with in the community to support deaf individuals and their families as well to help them become fully functioning members of the Muslim community with out limitations or need to be dependent on others. With limited funds at the moment they are only able to supply a limited amount of resources. In Shaa allah with the success of their first deaf social the word of what they are working towards is slowly but surely getting out.
In attendants it was quite surprising the scope of the cultural differences, yet we as a group of humans' under one religious group believe the same. Its range was great from Ethiopia to eastern Europe, African American, new citizens old citizens, going on to many other groups with in the small meeting point. No more then 25 people at their first event. They hope to have more attending at the next event, In Shaa Allah.
