Millennial Muslim Convert
Amy Marissa Wiggington, 21, converted to Islam when she was 17.
The story of Amy's transformation offers a rare example of how America’s most feared religion has attracted ordinary, middle-of-the-road Millennials (age 18-29) who became uniquely exposed to Islam as young teenagers in the aftermath of September 11. The Islamophobia that developed in the United States compelled these young people to learn more about a religion whose portrayal in the media they found to be biased and one-sided.
