[email protected] Luna Bars. Laura Lindsley, sophomore [email protected] Sophomore Sadaf Meghani, an Ismaili Muslim, which is a sect of Shia Islam, said she prays three times a day. “That’s more according to how we interpret the Quran,” she said. The Islamic religion separat- ed into two sects — Sunnis and Shias — due to differences in how Muslims in the 600s believed they should be led, and who should lead them, after the prophet Muhammad died. While major beliefs remain the same, the separa- tion resulted in slight differ- ences in how they pray, fast and interpret the Quran today, Ahmed said. Meghani said she does not attend the local mosque because it is more directed at the Sunni sect of Islam. “The closest place that I can pray is in Chicago,” she said. “So I’ve gone there once when I was here, but because it’s so far, I don’t really have time to make the trip.” Ahmed said her religion per- vades many aspects of her life, including how she dresses. Though she does not wear a scarf on her head, other than to the mosque, she always cov- ers up her legs and wears shirts with sleeves. “Technically I’m supposed to be covering my entire arms, my entire legs and wear a scarf, but just like anything else, the degree to which you practice your religion is a matter between you and God,” she said. “It’s a very personal issue.” Ahmed said in America, no one is forcing Muslim women to cover themselves and it is generally a personal choice. “It’s a very romantic idea to me the fact that the only man that will only get to see me with less clothing will be my husband,” she said. Islam’s ideas also affect how Muslim students relate to the opposite sex. Junior Yasir Malik said Islam prohibits one-on-one dating. “I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve never pursued a girl,” he said. “ It’s not supposed to hap- pen.” Malik, whose parents had an arranged marriage, said his parents discussed the option of doing the same for him. But he said he is “too American” to have an arranged marriage. “My parents will look for me and other people I know will Monday, October 4, 2010 The Observer N NEWS page 5

The All-American netted two goals apiece this weekend, and has now tallied 6 goals and two assists (14 points) in her last three games. “Melissa Henderson was fantastic this whole week- end,” Waldrum said. “She was dangerous every time she touched the ball … to me, she’s the best forward in the country. And we keep telling her that ⎯ she’s such a humble person, she doesn’t want to hear it. That’s just the kind of person she is.” True to form, the Irish start- ed the scoring early against both Syracuse (5-6-3. 2-3) and St. John’s (4-7-1, 1-4). Freshman midfielder Elizabeth Tucker scored in the 19th minute Friday in what proved to be the game-win- ner, while Henderson found the back of the net on a penalty kick in the 10th minute Sunday. The Irish have scored in the first 12 minutes in four of their last five games. “I don’t really feel like I’ve been consistent,” Henderson said. “I’ve been trying to bring out my game and help my teammates out a little bit more because they’ve been carrying everything. All over the field, you’re going to see players that are willing to do it and get it done.” For all their success on the field, the Irish have not seen it translate into support in the stands.

By ERIC PRISTER Associate Sports Editor

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The Irish got off to a much-needed fast start against the Eagles, scoring three times in their first four pos- sessions. Notre Dame simply needed an early 21-point lead and a shut-down defensive perform- ance to hold on for a convincing 31-13 victory Saturday night. “Well, we got off to a fast start,” Irish coach Brian Kelly said. “I thought that was key, obviously, on the road. We had three touch- downs on the first four posses- sions, and that gives us a lot of confidence early on. We’re just happy to get a victory at this point.” Behind the arm and legs of jun- ior quarterback Dayne Crist, the Irish moved the ball up and down the field in the first quarter. They capped off their first scoring drive with a seven-yard touchdown run by Crist, something Irish coach Brian Kelly has been looking for in his signal-caller. “He’s got to be a spread quar- terback or he can’t be the quar- terback here,” Kelly said. “We’re running a spread offense, and there’s got to be a spread quarter- back. He’s all in. He’s 100 percent in. He had a great week of prac- tice, and we’re really just working on that process of developing him as a spread quarterback.
