      2 Years after Travel Ban Protests, Muslims Help Airport Employees
DALLAS, Texas – A group of leading American Muslim groups distributed
 hot pizzas and food boxes to employees at DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth 
International Airport), two years after the first travel ban was imposed
 shattering the lives of many Muslims and their families.
“The irony is that two years ago exactly, we were in this airport protesting the Muslim Ban,” Imam Omar Suleiman said, WFAA reported.
In
 January 2017, thousands of Muslims stood in Terminal D to free

In 2019, Muslims returned the favor, making sure to help employees affected by government shutdown since late December.

medication at this point,” Saadia Ahmed, who was also delivering gifts 
on Friday, said.
She said almost everyone knows someone impacted by the shutdown...
