If you were (or are) a Muslim in America would you be thinking about leaving?

Leaving out of fear the country is becoming anti-Muslim. Or, at minimum not go into Mosques, not show any outward indications of being Muslim, and not tell people so fast that you are Muslim.
Many many Jewish people I know don’t advertise they are Jewish. They don’t put mezuzahs on their front door, but would if they felt completely safe. I would. Not because I am religious, but because I am Jewish. My FIL gave us money for one when we got married and I never bought one. I guess I could have one on an inside door? At the time, since I’m not religious, I felt like it just wasn’t me to have a religious symbol, but now I like the idea only because I care more about the tradition and my Jewish identity. Many Jews also feel vulnerable in a synagogue.
Many Jewish people who came to America 70+ years ago did their best to blend in and “be American.” Some even changed their last name to try to conceal their Jewish identity, or at minimum for their names to sound more familiar.
