don't you dare use my religion as a rhetorical tool to defend your security state

my brother-in-law was stopped by the DHS while entering the US because he no longer had his Christian name, also he's brown and tall and burly. a friend just lamented that she gets patted down, REPEATEDLY, not because she's a devout Muslim — she's NOT — but because she's dark-skinned and has an “Arabic” name.

you do not use my religion in defense of your security state.
