Nice writing. Please consider a few points.

While you have never committed an act of violence, have you ever spoken against acts of violence by Muslims? I don’t mean an editorial or op-Ed piece(although you’re clearly capable of that) but just said out loud, in the hearing of others, how violence by Muslims is wrong? Silence is consent.

Immigrants do not have the right to be in the US. Legal immigrants have permission, granted with the consent of the governed, to be in the US.

I haves lived in a Muslim country for several years. I work with Muslims and I count Muslims among my friends. I wish I heard more condemnation of extremist jihadists by Muslims. Until that begins…well, silence IS consent.
