Religious groups rally around issues after election; new Jewish-Muslim partnership forms

On the day after the election, Mervat Aqqad’s seven-year-old son woke up and asked who got elected president.

When Aqqad broke the news to Ibrahim his first question was, “Do we have to move now?”

“I told him, ‘You were born here. You’re an American citizen like anyone else,’” said Aqqad, a middle school teacher in Raleigh, North Carolina.
