American atmosphere these days is filled with(as always happens every four years) such political expressions as racism, xenophobia Islamophobia and such but Apartheid has not been used by politicians though singling out Muslims may be close to that.
Some Muslims worry as to what kind of situation their children are going to face and may be it is something to worry about, Trump or no Trump. My own opinion is however different because looking at the history the American people it seems they may take time but eventually ''acceptance'" prevails as we have seen in the case of Jews, Japanese, Blacks etc. May be time taken is longer in some cases but current times of widespread media and advanced communication technology may cut short such time Nevertheless many Americans are stuck with erroneous notions either because of media or from true bigotry. Muslims are here to stay as American Muslims and that is all
At the end of the day however I expect common sense to prevail and frequently people in USA ab-sorb the ötherness'feeling to a large extent. We see here so many cultures living side by side. Some commentators who are a-religious or anti religious make statements which only reflect their point of view and are not commensurate with the human history
