Fight With Peace

Dear @realdonaldtrump, My name is Marwa, and I am a Muslim.

I heard you wanted us the start wearing ID badges,
so I decided to choose one for myself.

I am not easily identifiable as a ‪‎Muslim‬ just by looking at me,
so my new badge will let me display proudly who I am.

I chose the peace sign because it represents my ‪Islam‬.

The one that taught me to oppose ‪‎injustice‬ and yearn for ‪unity‬.

The one that taught me that killing one innocent life is equivalent
to killing humanity.

I heard you want to track us as well.

Great!

You can come with me on my Cancer Awareness walks at the local
middle school, or you can follow me to work where it's my job to
create happiness.

You can also see how my local mosque makes PB&J sandwiches
for the homeless and hosts interfaith dinners where everyone is
welcome.

Maybe then you'll see that me being Muslim doesn't make me any
less American than you are.

Maybe if you walk in my footsteps, you can see that I am not any
less human than you are.

Salaamu alaikum
