A Dallas man who held a sign of support outside a Islamic Center says his “You Belong” message was prompted by hatred directed at Muslims after the surprise victory of Republican Donald Trump in the United States presidential elections on November 8.
Justin Normand, who works for a sign-making business, produced a version, said that, he stood near the Islamic Center of Irving last weekend because he wanted to do or say something to make it better.
Normand said that, “You Belong. Stay Strong. Be Blessed. We Are One America.” He held the sign last Friday and Saturday, for about 90 minutes each day.
The Normand,53, said he didn’t know anyone at the mosque, but some members who saw his sign thanked him, even offering flowers.
The Islamic Center of Irving previously has been the target of armed protesters.
