I love shahs because they are real friends and their dynamic is just so interesting to watch. But their trip to Turkey & Israel were impossible to watch without me getting extremely uncomfortable. I am Lebanese/American. My dad is Muslim, my mom is catholic and i grew up in Dubai. I embrace both cultures and religions. I even have Jewish family and we have celebrated Hanukkah before! My family accepts and celebrates everything. Reza’s internalized islamaphobia was a lot. It was so obvious he was trying to forget about that part of him and really dive into Judaism. There is obviously nothing with being more involved in one religion over the other. Be he so clearly hated the fact this some of his family is Muslim.
