Marjan Ehsassi is American by choice -- and, until recently, was fiercely proud of it.
Born in Geneva to an Iranian diplomat who served under the shah, she grew up in Iran until the revolution made life there inhospitable for her family. She married an American, has two American children, became an American citizen and has lived in this country for more than 17 years. She's worked for the National Democratic Institute, spreading American values across the globe.
"Washington is my home, my children were born in this city, and I absolutely consider myself an American," she told me. "I feel a huge amount of loyalty to this country."
But now she is discovering, painfully, that the feeling isn't reciprocal. Though non-practicing, she is Muslim-born, and she is shaken by Donald Trump's talk of forcing Muslim Americans to register and banning Muslims from entering the United States.

So Marjan if you leave don't let the door hit you in the @ss.
She sounds like another person trolling for her 15 minutes.She needs to get a grip.
boo-hoo , cry me a river ....
Totally renounce islam , accept Christ , and then you can stay
I hope she has denounced the Koran and sharia.
Trump’s plan actually HELPS Muslim-Americans.
If a dozen ISIS soldiers posing as refugees or fiances enter the country and attack, the backlash will be severe.
Trump is the best bet Muslim American citizens have. They should be speaking out in his favor and distancing themselves from the Jihadis.
What kind of “American values” does the National Democratic Institute, spread across the globe?
Abortion?
Homosexuality?
Anti-Semitism?
Just curious.
Boo hoo. Ok, now get the hell out of my country.
By contrast, Christians are made to feel warmly welcome in Muslim countries.
Ha.
A shah broad, scared in the US? Not even close to likely.
There’s a wolf in the closet.
Oh crikes! deliver me from Dana Milbank.
Good question, indeed! Also, do they accept any money from Soros?
Consider the news source which is about as liberal as it gets..........
An apostate, eh? Well, Marjan, what do you think your fate would have been at the hands of these two?
And Trump "terrorizes" you?
Sorry Marjan, but...
awesome...
Non-practicing?
That makes her an apostate.
As are ... capture Jordanian fighter pilots.
