I have two answers. This is the second one.

This happens with people I've bumped into. They are uncomfortable and ignorant about brown, Muslim, Arabs and Blacks. Especially recent immigrants or second generation. They may think they are here to invade or replace us with their number of children.

I pause for a second before I tell them something. These muslim people have a reverance for God. (Slight misquote "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.") They left their country because they didn't like it. They respect their elders. They raise their children to be morally upstanding. They hold marriage, family, and community in high regard.

Your white neighbor, what about them? They may be super liberal. No respect for God. Their kid is a gangster wanna that I don't feel comfortable walking on the same side of the street as. No respect for the institution of marriage.

Truthfully, we conservative Christians have more in common with the culture and opinions of conservative Muslim immigrants than our woke neighbors. If my daughter gets invited to a Muslim girl's house, after meeting the parents for due diligence, I am perfectly at ease to leave her there. My daughter won't hear any swearing. She'll not watch garbage TV. There won't be any older sibling (or mother) of her friend wearing dishonorable clothing. She'll be feed some home cooked meal from a kind lady instead of McDonalds or something out of a box.

We humans have a remarkable amount in common. We focus too much on what separates us. We are the same race created by the same God. Our differences "are for our joy and for His glory" (lyric from God Made Me And You, Shai Linne). That being said, we share even more in common with Muslims than the average wok-ist white person. In the USA, blacks are more socially conservative than whites so we again have more in common with people of a different skin tone.
