They come to him â students, co-workers and congregants alike, sometimes in tears â with their questions: What should we do, Imam Zaid? What should we do about the suspicion, about the hatred, about the second glances and the threat of confrontations on the street?
What should we do about Donald Trump and his rhetorical attacks on Muslim immigrants? And how do we process the deadly attacks by people who invoked our religion? Should we return to our ancestral home countries, hunker down in the shadows?

After the church shooting in Charleston the Confederate flag became under attack because of an Internet posting by the perpetrator showing the flag. There was no indication that the killer was a student of the history of the South or in any way embraced the culture of the South. The Confederate flag became a symbol of hate. The State of California banned the flag. Where has any symbol of Islam been banned?
California lawmakers OK bill that would ban Confederate flag displays

I know what they should do...go back where they are with their own.
To: artichokegrower
What should you do? Convert to Christianity. Stop following the religion that encourages rape and murder.

I’ve had it with putting up with these whiners who wail about their sorrows and hardships as they kick the teeth out of those they hate.

Too effing bad. Young moslems are all about rape, pillage and plunder. It’s past time to kill islam and its adherents.
Be good or die scumbags.

On a scale of 1 to 10, is it more emotionally draining than burying a loved on who was killed at an office Christmas party?

What on earth is wrong with muslims living in muslim countries?
Anyone who believes in the quran and hadith should not be living in nations founded on Judeo-Christian values.
