Racial Muslims are denied American national identity despite citizenship or birth in the US.

Evidence

By definition, Racial Muslims do not experience full religious freedom protections afforded to religious minorities. Nor are they considered to have an American national identity, even if they were born in the United States or possess US citizenship. Rather, Racial Muslims are a suspect race, permanent foreigners, and national security threats who warrant exclusion, purging, or incarceration to protect real (White Judeo-Christian) Americans. Their mere presence on US soil poses a national security threat. — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 76
