Some have been. The doctor from Texas comes to mind. To my knowledge, there is no state-sponsored persecution of Muslims, though the call for increased surveillance in Muslim communities (mosques and the like) could be considered persecution by some.

I understood your point on that, and agree with you. I disagreed with you on this statement:
"Furthermore, most places in the US, you'll be fine. I see people in traditional muslim clothing every day and they're having a fine time."
I don't agree with you. I think the suspicion and contempt towards Muslims have grown in the past 9 1/2 months, which could cause psychological stress to them...therefore, I would argue that they are not fine. I think Muslims are doing better in cities like DC and Philadelphia, but are probably under greater stress in smaller communities.
