Trump's election leaves American Muslims reeling and scared
MSN AP ^ | November 13, 2016

On the morning after the election, Alia Ali had a sickening feeling as she headed to her job as a secretary at a New York City public school, her hijab in place as usual. Ali is a Muslim who lives and works in one of the most diverse places in the U.S., and yet the ascension of Donald Trump to the White House left her wondering how other Americans really viewed her. "Half of America voted one way and half of America voted the other, and you're like, 'Which half am I looking at?'" she said. "You become almost like strangers to the people you've worked with.

We’ve become a nation of drama queens. Just do you job and quit worrying what other people think about you. Prove yourself to be worthy of respect, show respect, and shut up about your fears. Anybody who has lived for a long time in a foreign country knows the feeling and just keeps on moving forward.

Good-now she and the rest of these scared muslims need to finally either assimilate like immigrants always did before-AKA be an American-or get their asses on the 1st flight from the nearest airport back to whatever Trashcanistan they came here from...

Now they know how we’ve felt since 9/11/01. Suck it up, muzzies. It’s OK for us to live in fear, but you don’t want to?

Note to Alia, it’s not what this election has done,
it’s what your fanatical co-religionists have done
along with yourself if you do not accept American law.
Have a nice 8 years.

Islam does not recognize either national borders, nor any nation's laws.

Therefore; I don't believe there can be such a thing as an "American Muslim".

Who do you want to be? Pick one.

The Muzzies are lying, as usual.

But sooner or later, they’ll be telling the truth.

Scared of what? Loss of jihad?

Worsening scarcity of toddler-size bomb vests.
