I am sorry for the hatred the author faced. I have friends in Pakistan and a few other dominantly Muslim countries. America is very diverse, and that is a two-sided coin. On one hand, we are filled with people who accept and fight for the rights of Muslims, and on the other there are (what I hope are a minority) of people who are anti-Muslim. As someone who grew up a Jew (but no longer practices), I faced a lot of ridicule simply for being a Jew (my case is trivial, but to my next point...). I learned to ignore it - the people who look down on you are not those whose opinions are worth evaluating.
EDIT: I'm an idiot - I did not realize that the article was a satire. :)
