Asalamualikum,
however my only possible solution would be for us to really strive hard to be good examples as muslims. also to have open houses at our masjids and explaining islam and what we believe as muslims to the non muslim public. i'm not saying that we convert people, but if people do end up accepting islam SubhanAllah; we will give people the opportunity to learn about islam from muslims, not muslim haters.
So well said.
People, as myself, have had fears of the unknown. This is a possible ignorance in knowing all about what is familiar, and judging what we do not know or are familiar with as a 'threat'.
Therefore, it is natural for those not educated in what Islam stands for pose Islam as a national threat.
For me, when I am among those who are pious in what Allah commands, and they walk the walk of Allah, it is absurd to ever think these praying, obedient, professional, people, who would not kill a fly, be a logical reason to fear, for the sake of God/Allah.
An ID is an expression of total ignorance. Islam can be a blessing to the Nation of America, home of the brave, home of the free, etc.
The reason for America was/is for the freedom of Worship, and not be a dictatorship. This applies to all who worship God. Allah is the Arabic name for God.
Sallam
