Samar Halabi stood out as the only woman at the convention wearing a hijab.

“Do not sit down with terrorist organizations,” a passerby at the convention told a woman sitting next Halabi. “You know they’re CAIR, right?”

“I care about everybody,” Halabi responded, trying to make light of the moment.

Shortly later, another attendee approached Halabi and told her to leave the country.

She wept into her husband’s chest.

Halabi, a teacher, declined to say how she would vote in November, but said that she is a Republican and always votes.

Halabi and her husband, Amjad Muhtaseb, were both registered as delegates for the convention.

They hope to bring more Muslims into the Republican Party.
