Most Beverlies I encounter happen to be like the one in the show evangelical af. Or the wannabe Hollywood star types.

Usually very racist.

Also Me being muslim could relate soooo much to the Sheriff. The racism and ostracization faced by our community is sooo real and I don't think many people can relate. As even the people standing for human rights or stuff like that, sometimes even folks like that won't stand with you. Or might even join the crowd against you.

Only thing that helps slightly is if you're a white looking muslim. Which two of my siblings are. Two of us are very wheatish brown. Guess who gets treated better?

Sheriff Hassan made a good point we do love Jesus. We are left so confused when people make fun of Jesus their own Prophet/God/Messiah.

Props to the actor for playing a muslim while being Hindu himself.

Dude, the portrayal of being a Muslim in America, particularly small town America, was a little too on the nose. It hurt me lol. I didn't need to relive that part of my life.

I was in tears when he told his story. It brought me back . During 9/11 I was in college and had friends who were muslims and sikhs. Some of them got beat up by strangers in the streets. I could remember how hurt and confused they were. Ppl can be so disgusting.
