Soldiers tell fearful Muslim girl, '#IWillProtectYou'

Melissa Yassini and her 8-year-old daughter, Sofia, spend some time every evening reading messages from the thousands of people who have told Sofia not to be afraid just because she's Muslim.

Sofia's story of terror that she would be forced to leave America inspired a social media campaign with a hashtag, "#IWillProtectYou," that has generated posts from soldiers, veterans and others supporting her.

    A great idea and kudos to those supporting this. But can they be there to protect people like her all the time? In the grocery store, on the bus, in the mall, walking the streets? At least maybe this will kick start a social consciousness and help end some of the hatred that is so prolific these days.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
