You know you are an American Muslim when...

✦ At first sight of the kabah, your child starts skipping around singing, “we are off to see the wizard.”

✦ You have all poured cups of zamzam water and turn to face the kabah to make dua before drinking, and your kid lifts up his cup and says, “cheers.”

✦ You’re the only one at the office who is never exactly sure when their own religious holiday is.

✦ You have to give your boss less than 24 hours notice to attend a funeral, while everyone else gives a week's notice.

✦ Upon reciting, “inna rabbaka labilmirsaad,” your kid asks, so who is this Rebecca?

✦ You refer to kibbeh as basically Arab hotdogs

✦ You refer to baklawa/baklava as Arabic granola bars

✦ You refer to atayef asaafiri with ishtah, as Ramadan mini pancakes with whipped cream

✦ If someone offers you tea or juice, and you just say thank you and drink it

✦ You inevitably end up feeling personally guilty at any airport
