US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.

“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.

    In a conversation about muslims who voted for trump, calling “them” stupid is calling muslims who voted for trump stupid, because muslims who voted for trump are the subject. Since you agree with that, it is your poor reading comprehension that is at fault. You abandoned the context of the “who voted for trump” qualifier and went off on a rant about bigotry.

    Why did you ignore the subject of the conversation, you know, the context, so you could go off on a rant about how elitist, and bigoted, libs are? That is the only way you could have come to the conclusion you did. You have to ignore that the subject of the conversation is not muslims but muslims + who voted for trump. This is on you. You are the one in the wrong.

      Oop good point about the article, I forgot the comments I’ve been replying to have been on an article specifically about Muslim trump voters. Sorry, that was dumb and I should’ve paid attention to that in the first place

        Hey, it happens, as long as you can look back at yourself and realize it, it’s cool. Everyone struggles with this shit, I know I have a big issue with it myself.
