Honestly, I personally have never faced anything terrible here in the US being a Pakistani and a muslim. But I have friends that have for the religion. Yes, Americans do stereotype A LOT...but not the educated ones, which is a few...
Actually muslims outside of nyc face trouble more than the ones here. Nyc is very liberal so it is heaven...but in other states, it could get bad. However, you have the law which protects you and thats what matters at the end of the day, you just have to know your rights and how to fight for them really well.
