Beverley sat down on a plane next to Jiva and watched her write a text to someone in Arabic including the word Allah.
Beverley panicked and raised concerns with a steward but the steward told Beverley if she had an issue, she could leave the plane instead of Jiva.
Jiva and Beverley then sat together for the plane journey and talked. Jiva explained that Allah meant God in Arabic; she was texting a friend to give her support after her car was broken in to and wrote, "HasbiAllahu la ilaaha illaahu alayhi tawakaltu may Allah make the day easy for you"
Once the pair starting talking, Jiva said she could tell Beverley was remorseful; Beverley said, "It's so scary what the media can make us just think".
By the end of the flight Beverley and Jiva were friends and have since kept in touch.
What's happening in the picture?
What differences do you notice about the two people in the picture?
Explain the story
Why did Beverley panic? (she didn't understand Arabic, perhaps she has never talked to someone who is Muslim)
What was Javir's response?
Javir could have shouted "How dare you!" at Beverley and not talked to her. Why do you think Javir chose to talk to Beverley instead?
How do you think Beverley felt as Javir talked to her?
How did Beverley and Javir become friends?
What did Beverley learn from this experience?
What can we learn from this story?Why is this story about No Outsiders?
I asked you before I told you the story to identify the differences between Javir and Beverley. Now tell me, what are the similarities?
