Ramadan is different this year. Trump’s bigotry isn’t

loved ones outside our homes; we won't gather for prayer at mosques; we won't have the joy of late-night social gatherings. We will fast and break fast, secluded in our homes, for a full month.

But one thing remains the same this Ramadan: the bigotry our community faces from the president of the United States.
