MSNBC: Islam in America

From Islam in America: A Special Report - Newsweek:

'Great question,' answered the president. 'I'm confident your answer is, 'I love living in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, the country where you can come and ask the president a question and a country where—' Are you a Muslim?'

'Yes,' answered Siddiq.

'Where you can worship your religion freely. It's a great country where you can do that.'

It was a good answer, says Siddiq, but not enough for him—not when he, a financial adviser at a major investment bank, is afraid to use the bathroom on flights because he doesn't want to frighten his fellow passengers as he walks down the aisle.

He thinks anti-Muslim sentiment in the country is getting worse, not better.
