Naseema's older brother Yousef (Zakir) is sick of putting up with the bigots in the town, confronting the mounting violence and is insistent that his sister conform to his idea of what a good Muslim girl should be. But his attitudes toward religion, race and women is revealed as being questionable when he embarks on a relationship with the feisty Michelle (Burley).
