“An Islamic terrorist is an oxymoron,” said Sherherazadh Ishaq, a member of the Islamic Center of Dayton. “You cannot be a Muslim and be a terrorist at the same time. I feel it’s really, really important for people to know that.”
Ishaq said the center has not personally felt a lot of direct backlash, but following the attacks there have been many uncomfortable conversations, especially for Muslims who choose to wear a head scarf since they’re immediately identifiable.
