All American Muslim: The Zaban Family



The Fouad and Zaynab Zaban are a conservative Muslim couple with four children: Jamilah, Ayah, Mohamed and Fatima.  Fouad is the head coach of a football team at Fordson High School, Zaynab is a part-time secretary and the two older girls, ages 10 and 11, wear the hijab to school.  


It will be interesting to see how they balance their conservative religious traditions in a non traditional community settings of jobs and school.
