But look, there are challenges that we face as Muslims being in the United States, being in a hostile climate, and there are different types of challenges.
And I think what we've had to do as a Muslim community is see beyond both the guns and the roses and think about who we are first.
Because frankly, Islamophobia exists in different forms and from different sides.
And we try to use this as an opportunity to instill in our young people, not just a sense of belonging, but a sense of purpose.
Do not be intimidated.
And in fact, show them the best of your Islam.
Live your life, because at the end of the day,
The goal that is sought through intimidation is silence.
And so we have to carry ourselves as proud American Muslims.
We don't have to impress anyone.
And we don't need to relinquish an iota of our faith
to coexist with anyone.
We are satisfied with who we are.
We don't see a contradiction between our place of residence and our religion, our nationality, our religion.
We don't see that as a problem, right?
So that's something for them to work out, not for you to work out.
That's what I would tell young Muslims that continue to live your faith fully and demonstrate the beauty of it and do not let the ugliness of the world consume you.
The Quran says, respond to that which is evil with that which is better.
And you will find that sometimes your enemy will become your close friend.
So respond with that which is better.
