Ms. Nawaz is an award-winning write, TV producer and film-maker. She has a background in both Journalism and the Arts. All of this info is readily available on the internet: I'm surprised you didn't look it up before commenting. I doubt that she could have been as successful as she is if she'd not spent a lot of time with Non-Muslims. Anyway, the basic tenet of writing is to "write what you know". What would you suggest she write about? Ukrainians growing up in Manitoba after the Second World War? If she did, I imagine that many commenters would be outraged at the thought of a Muslim woman writing about a group that she didn't belong to.
