Anis Chaudry (Pakistan)Entry/Object ID
TNA.15Description
Religious fanatics killed one of my brothers. The killers were Muslim and we are Muslim, but because we are from different sects, they don't see us as Muslims. This is the mentality of terrorist fanatics. This has been the reality of Pakistan all my life - violence.
For my parents, education was the most important thing. I became an electrical engineer, and for a long time I worked in Abu Dhabi doing IT for an oil company. Abu Dhabi is nice, but it was never home because you can buy a house and build a life, but you know that the day after your visa is up, you will be kicked out. So, after almost 30 years, I left Abu Dhabi and I came here because a lot of my family had settled here. America feels like home, especially when you shut off the news and talk to people, because the people are very nice.
Now, that I am a citizen, I feel like the world is mine. I can travel freely - something I couldn't always do. I can pray without fear of fanatics.Collection
