I noticed something funny over red lentils

Earlier this week I was sitting in one of my favorite local Bangladeshi restaurants, enjoying the red lentils.  For whatever reason, when the talk switched to politics, the Bangladeshis on the adjacent table switched to English.  Five of them were debating heatedly, and with considerable sophistication, whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton was the better candidate.  From their dress, language, and accents, there was strong evidence they all were Muslim and recent arrivals to this country.  I didn’t come away with the feeling that a majority of them would vote for Trump, but not one of them seemed completely sold on Hillary Clinton as the superior choice.  At that moment I wondered what was going on.
