Both the Senate and the House need to call out hate crimes against Muslims in the United States, whether you are Democrats or Republicans.
Why is this important?
Muslim Americans have come under discrimination since President Trump was inaugurated in January. According to a data analysis, the number of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the United States rose 91 percent in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2016, according to a leading Muslim advocacy and civil rights group. People should tell their members of Congress to call out anti-Muslim hate by visiting a mosque and assuring Muslim-Americans that they are welcome here. This why I made a petition to the United States Senate and U.S. House of Representatives to make sure these hate crimes stop.
