Ahmed has frequently spoken out about the realities of being Muslim in western countries. While leading a discussion during a diversity leadership event in California, Ahmed, who was born in Britain and has acted in TV series such as “The OA,” “The Night Of” and “Girls,” said “I’m basically here to ask for your help, because it’s really scary to be a Muslim right now, super scary.”

“I’ve often wondered, is this going to be the year when they round us up, if this is going to be the year they put Trump’s registry into action. If this is going to be the year they ship us all off.”
