I was born of a Jewish father and a Christian mother. I married a man, American-born, raised in a Muslim family. I took his last name, which is both Arabic and Muslim, although he is neither. This is the name my eight-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter carry. And in the present Islamophobic world, this name makes me fearful for my children.
