Muslims working in the State Department, Defense Department, and intelligence agencies like the CIA wonder if, with the election of Donald Trump, they should quit their jobs.
The employees are on edge about everything from retaining their security clearances to the possibility of discriminatory treatment under Trump, whose top aides include known peddlers of conspiracy theories about Islamists infiltrating the U.S. government.
"I feel apprehensive," a Muslim intelligence official told POLITICO.

Sikhs and “brown people” do not lop off heads as a core part of their deeply-held beliefs, but nice try.
They may be afraid of what a rigorous security clearance review might uncover.
1. Do you believe the Sharia Law takes precedent over the US Constitutional Law?
...and...
2. Who do you believe owns the land bounded between the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Jordan River, and the Golan Heights and should have Jerusalem as it's national capital?
That should give a good idea whose side they are really on...
They can not swear allegiance to the Constitution therefore no they are not, nor can they ever be, Americans.
I remember stories of Muslim FBI agents refusing to investigate Muslims after 911. No clue if that is true but those stories were around. They are believable because it fits their stated belief.
