Idaho Muslims discuss backlash

It has not been an easy past few months to be a Muslim in America, reports Boise State Public Radio, including in the Treasure Valley, where the Muslim population may be well over 10,000. Reporter Dan Greenwood reports that on a recent Friday, about 40 Muslim students gathered at the Boise State Student Union for prayer and fellowship. One sang verses from the Koran; a sermon followed on striving to become a better person. The students shared their thoughts, including Noora Muhamad, who said she believes people like Donald Trump are painting a complex religion with a broad brush. “With Donald Trump saying that we’re all Jihadists, what about me? I grew up in America, I’ve learned American culture and I absolutely love it,” she said. “Yet I’m still a Muslim woman and I love being a Muslim American”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
