Ahmed says that she is furious to see history repeating itself, with Muslims now serving as the Other who is meant to be persecuted and abused and subject to fascism in America. She recounts the history of other internments and segregations and abuses, then says that she finds hope in the fact that people have always resisted, and that America was built on a long history of resistance. She ends by using the future tense of the word, instructing her reader: resist.
