What are you talking about? You say you're in Pakistan. That's a Muslim country. Why would I, a Muslim, be hated in Pakistan?
It has to be better than being in a place where Islam itself is seen as the enemy and you're not allowed to practice your religion openly without harassment or the threat of violence.
I don't agree. I stopped to pray in that airport because it was time to pray and I knew I'd miss the prayer time if I didn't pray there in the airport. I wasn't showing off for anyone other than Allah.
And I don't claim to be a diehard Muslim. I'm a convert. I have no idea how much I don't know about Islam - which is probably a lot. But I do know that I love being Muslim more than I love being American - and America hates me for it.
