Asra Q. Nomani is a former Wall Street Journal reporter and a co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement. This is my confession - and explanation: I - a 51-year-old, a Muslim, an immigrant woman "of color" - am one of those silent voters for Donald Trump. And I'm not a "bigot," "racist," "chauvinist" or "white supremacist," as Trump voters are being called, nor part of some "whitelash." I have clearly said we - whether you call it radical jihadism or radical Islamism, I'm happy to say either. Days before the election, a journalist from India emailed me, asking: What are your thoughts being a Muslim in "Trump's America"?
