Those are the words that Mohamed Abbas ― a 32-year-old man with health issues, a U.S. Army veteran who fought in the Iraq War, and a Muslim ― says he found written on his work locker on Sept. 1. 

“It’s a shitty feeling,” Abbas said. But it’s a feeling he knows well.

Abbas, who is of Palestinian heritage, was born in the United Arab Emirates. He immigrated to the U.S. in 2000, living in Georgia and later California. He taught himself English and went to high school, where he says “ignorant” kids would ask him if Osama bin Laden was his cousin, or if he was going to bring a bomb to class.

In 2007 ― after working a series of low-paying jobs at McDonald’s, Denny’s, Del Taco and a Flying J gas station ― Abbas decided he wanted a better life. He joined the Army. 

After Abbas graduated from basic training, he says, his drill instructor pulled him aside. 

“Watch out more for American soldiers than the Iraqis,” said the instructor, who knew Abbas was being deployed to Iraq. 

Abbas remembers that he “didn’t really get” what the instructor was talking about. But he learned soon enough.
