My Detroit homecoming was met with immense difficulty, mourning, and heartbreak. I had been lured by an ailing father who lived long enough to see me on a consistent basis. My new office was a short drive from his hospital bed, and after his departure, a short drive to his final resting place. But in the coming months, my summoning back to Detroit would make even more sense. Roughly a month after my father's passing, Donald Trump was elected to office, and the unhinged Islamophobia his presidency formally inaugurated would be acutely felt in metropolitan Detroit, the symbolic seat of Muslim America and the city I called home once again.

QUESTION: What specific forms did the unhinged Islamophobia take in Detroit after the 2016 election?
