Arabic is a dangerous language in the US

"When Andrew Zink passed the microphone over to his classmate and allowed her to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic, he said, he knew most students wouldn’t support his decision." “The anti-Muslim sentiment started to build,” Zink said. “The poor girl who read it, she’s so sweet and when she finished reading it people called her a terrorist. They told her to go back to the Middle East. They mercilessly degraded her and I felt awful for her.” Zink didn’t get by unscathed either. He said he was threatened over Twitter and received death threats. “Some people said they didn’t want to look at me ever again,” he said."
