Hi there @SusanSarandon , this is my mom, my dad and me on the rail trail in Morgantown, West by God Virginia. Let me tell you what it means to be Muslim in America.
First, your backstory: At an anti-Israel protest in NYC, you just said, "There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”
Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a Muslim in America:
✅🇺🇸 My dad didn’t have to become a second-class indentured servant to one of the many tyrants of Muslim countries that use immigrants from India, like my family, as essential slaves. In 1975, after getting his PhD at Rutgers, he was about to go to Libya — a Muslim country — led by a Muslim, Moammar Qhadafi, to work like a servant with a PhD for a wealthy dictator…but then the phone rang one day and I picked it up…
✅🇺🇸 It was West Virginia University calling, and my dad got a job as an assistant professor of nutrition. He got rejected first for tenure but being Muslim in America meant he got a right like everybody got — his right to appeal and guess what? He won and he became a full professor. That’s what it means to be Muslim in America. You get your full rights, like @DrZuhdiJasser has wished for his family in the Muslim nation of Syria, where a Muslim dictator destroys the lives of Muslims.
✅🇺🇸 My mom? Being Muslim in America meant she got to live FREE with the wind in her hair, like @AlinejadMasih fights for women in the Muslim nation of Iran to be able to enjoy.
✅🇺🇸 And what did living free mean for my mom as a Muslim in America? It meant in 1981 she got to start a business on High Street in downtown Morgantown, called Ain’s International. That is something that @miss9afi wished women could have had the right to do in the Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia. But guess what? That entrepreneurship and financial independence is denied Muslim women in so many Muslim countries.
✅🇺🇸 That summer my mom started her business, I got on a plane at Pittsburgh airport for Tahlequah, Oklahama, and I went away from home at 16 for a National Science Foundation camp — without a male chaperone, a right denied Muslim women and girls in Saudi for so long.
✅🇺🇸 In another “taste” of being Muslim in America? My family got a pathway to citizenship. You think the Muslim dictatorship of Qatar allows a pathway to citizenship for Muslim slaves, servants or Palestinian Muslims? Hell no. The Muslim Al-Thani family just buys citizenship for Muslim soccer stars from countries in Africa to steal World Cup wins. But otherwise it treats non-Qatari Muslims like slaves. America? My family waited, took the test, studied the constitution and we are citizens — hallelujah!
✅🇺🇸 I’m going to fast forward because this is just a “taste” of what it means to be Muslim in America. In 2002, I fled Pakistan with a souvenir that could have gotten me imprisoned or killed: a baby growing inside of me, a wedding ring not upon my hand. Sharia law makes sex out of marriage a crime in Muslim countries like Pakistan. My body? The mullah’s tyranny. And even dare to be atheist like @YasMohammedxx ? It’s also a crime punishable by death — in Muslim countries but not in America!
✅🇺🇸 Where do you think I came to give birth to my baby in safety and security, without shame? West by God Virginia in the United States of America — where we enjoy equal rights as Muslim AmeriCANs, not AmeriCANTs.
This is a “taste” of life for a Muslim family in America. Please don’t minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by sanitizing the hell that it is for Muslims living in Muslim countries and vilifying America for the life — and freedoms — she offers Muslims like my family. Go, live like a Muslim woman in a Muslim country.
You will come back to America and kiss the land beneath your feet. 🇺🇸
I agree GO HOME if you don’t like it here!! GET THE HELL OUT NOW!!
She was praising America.
Did you bother to read the article or just decide to comment on the headline?
I don't cry for you...not one little bit.
I don't hate you.....just stop supporting this cult.
I’ve known Muslim women who lived in Muslim countries... and anyone who thinks life in most Muslim countries is a picnic for women is insane. That includes Susan Sarandon.
If it’s so terrible for you here, just go somewhere else.
Problem solved.
I want a Muslim FREE AMERICAN!!!
She should give that speech in Mecca with a short skirt and showing lots of cleavage.
Robert Heinlein:
“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he opens his mouth.”
Same script BLM propaganda campaign used.
In Marxism there is always only oppressed and oppressor.
I see that too often. Why spoil common FR tradition?
From the title, I thought this was going to be another "Why I hate America" screed.
It's not. It's a nice tribute to this country, worth taking the time to read.

A most excellent response!
Amazing how many freepers didn’t bother to read the article, smh.
Solution: Don’t be a Muslim in America. Be one somewhere else.
Yeah, or Afghanistan. I wonder how many times she would be raped before they decapitated her.
Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a Muslim in America: my taqqyia is the best there is!!
She is all for raping and beheading Jews.
Unreal how many Freepers didn’t bother to read the article which was actually praising life for Muslims in America. It was the author’s rebuttal to Hollywood ditz Susan Sarnandon’s screed about how awful life is for Muslims.
