“Being a Muslim ain’t easy, it isn’t easy. It’s never been harder to be a Muslim than in the last four years. The last four years was the crucial time when it was showcased that the leader of the free world, a mainstream politician, perpetuating a view that Islam and the West are incompatible”.

“all of us [Muslims] must be bad or must be terrorists because of the actions of a very small minority. Let’s be frank, the reason I was singled out was not because of any other reason than my faith.
