This morning I sent the following letter to US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), and a slightly different one to my Congressman Vern Buchanan. In both letters I asked for their guidance on how, when, and where to sign up for Donald Trump's Muslim registry. This is especially important now that I have converted to Islam solely so I can be on this Registry. I am also blind copying the letters to the FBI and to The Donald himself at Trump Tower. I'll post any responses here on my blog.

Re: Muslim
Registry
Dear Mark,
During his successful campaign for the Presidency
(successful if you consider that he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million
votes that is) Donald Trump made it abundantly clear that upon taking over the
Presidency he would establish a registry for Muslim people in the United
States. We tried something similar once
before in America – remember those Japanese internment camps during World War
II?
However, and despite that horrible and embarrassing chapter
in our nation’s history, President-elect Trump is set to embark on a similar
course of disrespecting an entire race of people. And this time, for good measure, he is going
to be disrespecting an entire religion (whatever happened to freedom of
religion in America?).
In anticipation of there being a Muslim registry in the
United States, I have recently converted to Islam and am now a full-fledged
Muslim (praise be to Allah). Accordingly
I look forward to being able to be among the first to sign up for this
registry. There is only one slight problem
– I don’t know yet how when or where to register. Thus I am writing to you for guidance.
Will the Muslim Registry be set up like the draft was for
those of us old enough to have been drafted to serve in Vietnam? Will there be an US Office of Muslim Registry
or will those duties be handled by some already existing agency like the White
House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives?
How soon after January 20 2017 will I have to be registered? Can registration be done online or will it
have to be in person? Will I receive
some sort of marking on my skin like people endured during the Hitler era to
identify them as Jewish? Or will I
simply carry an identification card that resembles a driver’s license? Will I have to obtain a new passport that
clearly identifies me as Muslim? Or will my current passport suffice but with a
note in the Department of Homeland Security database that I am a registered
Muslim?
During your recent successful bid for re-election I heard
you say that you would represent all of your constituents. I’m assuming that
means all of your Muslim constituents as well as gentiles, jews, atheists and
agnostic. If what you said was actually true and not
just normal campaign hyperbole, then I ask that you get me information as soon
as you have it on how I can register as a Muslim.
Allah Akbar
