I am the daughter of Muslim immigrants
But we are here today, not just for the quarter million Muslim immigrants who enter the U.S. each year for a better life
We are here not just for Batool Shannan, a 33 year old Syrian skin cancer researcher who was turned away from Philadelphia yesterday
We are here today not just for the young woman who downed 30 sleeping pills in JFK on Thursday to avoid deportation
We are here for generations of future history students
So that they will never have to study the diary of a young Muslim girl in class.
