Marwa Balkar decided that if Donald Trump wants Muslims to wear ID badges, she’d choose hers.

Balkar, 22, of the Southern California city Corona, posted the letter last week, and since then it has garnered more than half a million “likes” on Facebook, including from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Balkar posted a picture of herself wearing a peace symbol on her shirt.

“We are still Americans, and I feel like if he’s running to be the leader of our nation, he shouldn’t be alienating us,” she told ABC7.

Balkar said Trump has yet to respond.

“I heard you wanted us to start wearing ID badges, so I decided to choose one for myself. I am not easily identifiable as a #Muslim just by looking at me, so my new badge will let me display proudly who I am. I chose the peace sign because it represents my #Islam,” she wrote. “I heard you want to track us as well. Great! You can come with me on my Cancer Awareness walks at the local middle school, or you can follow me to work where it’s my job to create happiness. You can also see how my local mosque makes PB&J sandwiches for the homeless and hosts interfaith dinners where everyone is welcome.”

    this the real muslim sentiment – a religion that today is so threatened by idiots and some malcontents within. It seems to be in contrast with the xians in the west who spend their time praying to be safe and left alone rather than praying for peace – pat robertson comes to mind.
