Competition for Muslim high schoolers at University of Maryland- Gena Chung

Say "MIST" to anyone but a Muslim in the DC Metro area and they'll think you are talking about a soft drink. But to almost every Muslim high school student in the area, whether from private schools or public charter schools, MIST means so much more than a refreshing, effervescent beverage. The Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament, held from April 9 to April 11 at the University of Maryland, pitted teams of Muslim high school students against each other in competitions ranging from Islamic knowledge to short film. I sat down with the lead coordinator, Amina Haleem, to talk a little more about MIST:
