Re: In America - vulnerability of Muslims
As a Pakistani-American, this nation has given me tremendous opportunity both in terms of education and the life experiences. Faith, is a deeply personal matter for me. As I have gotten more religious (compared to my parents) I see where Islam and America intersect and where they depart.
While it is a tough political landscape for all Muslims these days I can't think of any overt cases of discrimination. Perhaps it has been subtle but thats ok. I work hard, I believe in our joint humanity and try to do the right thing everyday. Love me or hate me is not my concern having the educational and career opportunities and freedoms is much more important. If they are curtailed then I'm out.
We all have enemies, people who don't like us etc. either we worry about them or show who we are through our deeds.
