“And it is scary to know that if I were to get murdered tomorrow, as a Muslim, nobody would care. The news would not cover it as a hate crime. It would be because of a parking dispute or cutting someone in line at a grocery store. Maybe I would accidentally cut someone in line at an ice cream shop or take extra time while ordering my morning coffee.”
