Why Muslims in Michigan are backing ‘Islamophobic’ Donald Trump

Many Muslim voters in Michigan, particularly those of Arab and Palestinian descent, are deeply frustrated with Biden’s strong support for Israel in the Gaza conflict. They feel the administration has neglected the Palestinian humanitarian crisis and find Trump’s promises of peace in the Middle East appealing. Imam Belal Alzuhairi, speaking at a Trump rally, referred to the former president as the “peace candidate,” emphasising Trump’s commitment to ending U.S. involvement in “endless wars.” This position has struck a chord with voters tired of prolonged conflicts affecting their ancestral homes.
