FWD: In America, we don't just tolerate religious differences — we celebrate them, too

  Friends, I wanted to make sure you saw this beautiful message from my daughter. From a young age I have faced hate and discrimination — from when my classmates put chewing gum in my hijab, to the Islamophobic comments my far-right colleagues make today. But our movement has alwa…

In America, we don't just tolerate religious differences — we celebrate them, too.

  Hello, it’s Isra, Ilhan’s daughter. You've probably seen all the headlines — a far-right Member of Congress is smearing my mom's name again with Islamophobic, hateful tropes. That kind of hate is why, when my mom first ran for office, some people misguidedly advised her not to …
