STAMFORD — Every Sunday, Shaimah Hamdan, a Muslim woman of Pakistani descent, leads a religious class at Al Madany Islamic Center of Norwalk, a spiritual home she shares with hundreds of Fairfield County Muslims. Hamdan, a board member at the mosque, teaches adolescent girls, a group that often struggles with their Muslim identity as they come of age. A girl takes out a pencil and someone says, ‘Are you pulling out a bomb?’ I told them that’s not a joke. Hamdan is a quality project manager for Stamford Health Medical Group. Like an estimated 150,000 Muslims drawn by jobs, education and family, Hamdan and El-Ghussein call Connecticut home. [...] despite a hostile political climate — especially since President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven mostly Muslim countries, which a federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked — the couple has generally found Stamford to be welcoming. “The perception of having a Muslim woman in the workplace and wearing a headscarf is very important for other people to see and other Muslim women to see,” said Safia Hussain, 32, who works in Stamford with low-income families receiving Women, Infants and Children (WIC) assistance. Stamford is close to her in-laws in Queens, N.Y.
