Muslim and Arab Americans say their support was critical to Biden’s winning Michigan in 2020. Some warn they won’t back him again over his blanket support for Israel.

      My feeling is that this “betrayed” part of Muslim is the socially conservative one that voted left because the right was racists and pro Israel. But if the left is pro Israel as well, then they might as well vote right to get conservative (pro life, misogynistic) policies forward

        TBH, the bizarre cognitive dissonance in all these religious types (pick one) bypasses all rational thought processes.

          Yep nothing is rational about “I’m not voting at all if I don’t get my way!” That’s how it is when you’re a baby but doesn’t work out in the real world. Not voting is a vote for the alt right. All they’ll get as a result is a Republican dictatorship where they’d have to end up leaving the country.

        this is beyond islamophobic lmao the people supporting palestinians are a massive front of liberal muslims. Just because they don’t support endless bombing by an islamophobic apartheid regime doesn’t mean they’re misogynistic. Fuck outta here.
