On 9/11, my mother, who observes hijab, picked me up from school. A driver cut us off and yelled "f**k you Muslims." Next day, walking home from school, a man pointed his gun out the window of his house and yelled "keep walking before I shoot you Muslim kids." I was 11yrs old.

Age 21, hanging with a group of "friends", I spoke to how difficult travel is for Muslims with the extra scrutiny at the airport. A white woman responded by saying "you being pulled out of line and scrutinized is for all our safety and I support it."

This sentiment was among all - Democrats, Republicans and everything in between. Canvassing in 2016, a neighbor just a block away, a 90+ dem score, told me he's "disgusted" that I lived near him. And another told me "f***k off my front porch, I don't vote Islamic."

You’d think the government that is actively committing genocide, intentionally starving millions, committing endless war crimes, upholding an apartheid system, and murdering thousands of children would be the ones concerned with how “history will judge.”
