Michigan Muslims face reality of Trump victory: 'I pray for our community'
The Guardian ^ | 9 Nov 2016 | Ryan Felton

Posted on 11/09/2016 5:32:26 AM PST by Cronos

For the city of Dearborn, Michigan, where one-third of the city’s 96,000 residents are of Arab descent, the presidency of Donald Trump is almost certain to be volatile and unpredictable.

Just after 2.40am on Wednesday, when the election was called for the Republican nominee, Muzammil Ahmed, the chairman of the Michigan Muslim Community Council who attended an election watch party in Dearborn Tuesday night, tried to reach for a silver lining.

“Our country has made a choice of a very flawed and unpredictable candidate,” Ahmed told the Guardian. “Although I’m deeply worried about our future, our community is not giving up the fight.”

... Earlier, as midnight approached in the Detroit suburb, organizers of an election watch party at the Arab American Museum asked Suhaib Hashem to read a prayer aloud from the Qur’an. When the results showed a victory was close for Trump, the aspiring engineering college student said the gesture was needed, given the circumstances.

...“I’m moving to Canada, I’m serious,” Ahmed said. “I don’t want him around. He’s not good for us.”

Assimilate and disappear. We are a melting pot.

Why not go back to where you came from?

The Daily Arab News which is from around there or Chicago, something like that,

Has an editor but I think he’s a Christian Arab type.

He wrote this article a few months saying Muslims and Arabs should vote for Trump:

Ray Hanania , the Arab Daily News (looks like a one man type of website though)

Simple—Either assimilate or go back to where you came from.

I hope he goes anywhere, as long as he leaves here. I know there are many good Muslims who do not support the efforts of ISIS. This guy isn’t one of the good ones.

Either leave, stop trying to take over our country, and/or empty your mosques of weapons. You targeted us, stabbed us, shot us, blew our people to pieces. I mean WTH do you expect? Sympathy?

The only people who have anything to worry about are the one,s who are doing something wrong. Likewise anyone who is here ILLEGALLY.
