WaPo - "Muslims in a Bible Belt town hold their breath"
The person quoted below strikes me as your typical passive aggressive Trump voter. They may not be racist to your face, but secretly they despise you if you are different.

It was here, in this midsize college town in the dead center of Tennessee, that a right-wing effort to ban Islamic law found one of its first sponsors. Here, too, a congressman co-sponsored a plan to defund Muslim refugees and local residents sued to block construction of the only mosque, a fight that ended at the Supreme Court.
The towns Muslims carried on through all of that, teaching at college, filling peoples prescriptions and filling their tanks, raising their children, saying their prayers, contributing to the civic life in a city of 126,000. They felt the familiar grief and fear of reprisal last year when a Muslim man killed four Marines in Chattanooga, 90 minutes away.
Now Donald Trump a man who has repeatedly cast doubt on the patriotism of Muslims is the president-elect, and he has selected a national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who believes Islam is an existential threat to America. And a deep unease has again seeped into the daily life of many Muslims here, a community of about 1,500.

There are people like the self-described right-wing Southern Baptist, shopping at Bullseye Gun, Gear and Pawn Shop on a recent day, who is certain that Muslims think they have the right to kill you and take your wife as a sex slave. The man declined to give his name, he said, because he employs a number of Muslims in his health sector company anyway, and doesnt want them to know what he thinks. He still goes to cookouts and ballgames with them, he said.
