There are so many things so wrong about "registering" Muslims in the US; Japanese Americans forced to live in internment camps here, Jews forced to wear yellow stars in Nazi Germany—are we supposed to believe these things are not the same?
My immediate thought was, "If Muslims are told to wear a star and crescent on their clothes, I'll wear one, too!" Then I imagined myself actually going out in public with what amounts to a target on my sleeve and felt how truly frightening that would be. How much courage will I find in myself when confronted with actual danger? Will it be enough?(For further reading: "Trump and a Muslim Registry" ~ Sabrina Saddiqui, The Guardian)
