During the campaign, Trump continually attacked Muslim-Americans, calling for a “complete shutdown” of Muslim immigrants to the U.S., and supporting the creation of a database to track current Muslim citizens. “My mom literally just texted me ‘don’t wear the Hijab please’ and she’s the most religious person in our family…” writes one woman on Twitter. “My husband just yelled at me for wearing hijab,” another woman says. “He got scared suddenly and is pleading w/ me to not wear hijab in fear that I’ll be hurt.” Great Britain saw a rise in racist attacks towards Muslim citizens following the Brexit vote in favor of leaving the European Union, and many Americans are afraid of the same problem in wake of the election.

I’ll wear even at the cost of death. He can’t stop me or anyone,” writes one. “I am not going to take off my hijab, I’m just going to tie it tighter,” says another. “I’m not going to sacrifice a part of me to adhere to your ignorance.”
