Trump went to American Muslims to gather votes

According to Isna, the American media in an article referring to the efforts of “Donald Trump”, the Republican candidate for the US presidential election, to gain the support of Arabs and Muslims, pointed to his anti-Islamic statements in the past and reported: “This change of Trump’s position is only to defeat his rivals.” has taken place

According to the Guardian, eight years ago, when Trump was nominated in the 2016 US presidential election, he proposed the idea of ​​creating a national list of Muslims and proposed to ban immigration from Muslim countries. Therefore, his presence at an election rally on Saturday and the support of several Muslim and Arab American leaders for him was a remarkable event.

This is a political shift that was unthinkable during Trump’s first campaign in 2020. At that time, he was constantly speaking against Muslims and banned travel from several Muslim countries. Even in the first weeks of his election campaign this year, Trump borrowed some of his former positions.

However, now that Trump and his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, are competing in a close election, both are trying to woo Arab and Muslim Americans, as many people in these groups are opposed to the policies of current President Joe Biden. America is unhappy with the war in Gaza. Seven American states, including Michigan, have a decisive role in determining the outcome of the election, and Michigan is a state where a large part of its population is made up of Arabs and Muslims.

At his campaign rally in suburban Detroit on Saturday, Trump brought a group of people on stage and identified them as Muslim and Arab American leaders who have supported him. However, according to the New York Times, their credibility is still not found among the Muslim and Arab communities.

“Bilal Al-Zuhiri”, the imam of a mosque in Detroit, said in this program: “We Muslims stand by Trump because he promised peace.” “We support Donald Trump because he has promised to end the war in the Middle East and Ukraine.”

At the same time, Trump is also trying to attract the opinion of Jewish voters and has repeatedly declared his strong support for the military attack of the Zionist regime on Gaza. He has also described several times some immigrants from West Asian origin as “known terrorists” in his statements about controlling the flow of immigration to America.

Al-Zuhiri also cited Trump’s social views as the main reason for his support and said that he and other American Muslim leaders support Trump’s “commitment to promoting family values ​​and protecting the welfare of children, especially in school curricula.”

According to the American media, in the last 2 decades, American Arabs have always supported the Democratic Party, but now with Biden’s full support for the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza, they have gone to other options.

Trump, who won Michigan’s votes in 2016, lost those votes to Biden in 2020. He is now trying to win one of the seven key states of America by attracting the support of Arabs and Muslims who play a prominent role in the results of the funds in this state.
