Muslim American Grilled at Border Over Religion, Letter to the Editor

Zakariya Muhammad Reed spent 20 years serving in the National Guard. For the last eleven years, he's been a firefighter in Toledo.

But this hasn't kept him from being viewed with suspicion by his own government.
"Now, not only am I being persecuted for my faith, but I'm being persecuted for a personal opinion. This is getting too Orwellian. Is this what it comes down to? Is this where I live? Is this the country I love?"
Four times in the last six months, Reed has been detained coming over the border from Canada.
