Brother,
Actually I can only speak about my own experiences. I do know that here in Austin, the Muslim Community is very active. We do lead somewhat seperate lives from the general population. But, our living is not restricted to any area of the city. We can openly protest about anything we see as interfering with Islam, with no fear of arrest.
My Daughter has no fear nor is she stared at when she wears her Hijab and niqaab while shopping. I would say that the majority of the Muslimahs here in Austin wear the niqaab and we have yet to have any instance of them being asked to remove it for any prupose. Including having the peicture taken for their driver's liscense.
Several of the local businesses now offer prayer rooms for Muslims to use during prayer times.
Many of the Muslims living in Texas have family and friends living in Palestine so far none have had any trouble sending money to them.
It is true we do have some people in Washington that are going against the wishes of the American people. But, as Islam spreads throughout the US those people will find little support from the people and will be jobless.
I actually find Austin to be more Islamic than any City I ever lived in in any Mideastern country.
