How America Is Transforming Islam

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

2. One of my sons works for a small, family-owned business.

The couple who run it are both Muslim immigrants from Pakistan. Muhammed is very devout, Rabina is less so. They have three children, all born and educated in the US. The elder son is about as religious as his mother, the younger son and the daughter are both agnostic.

They are all very nice people -- although you do not want to get Rabina angry. I have spoken to Rabina about her feelings about America. She feels less comfortable now than she used to, because Trump seems to be doing his best to make bigotry towards Muslims acceptable. She sees herself as "a good American", and I do too.
