Zeena Hamid, 28, who has worked as a translator and war correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, is now studying at Point Park University. "From Baghdad to Pittsburgh, it's weird. No car bombings," she says. "No street blasts." At school, students occasionally make comments when they find out she's from Iraq. "They talk about Muslims being terrorists. Every time they say this, I want to stand on my feet and say, 'Muslims are not terrorists. They are just like you.'"
