Summary

U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Trump to protest Biden’s stance on Gaza and Lebanon now feel betrayed by Trump’s pro-Israel Cabinet picks.

His appointments of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, and Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador have drawn sharp criticism, with some accusing the administration of pursuing “Zionist overdrive” and “neoconservative” priorities.

Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the “Abandon Harris” campaign and co-founded “Muslims for Trump,” and Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of AMEEN, feel betrayed by broken promises of peace.

“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”

It's so sad, but pointing this out as an obvious consequence would have been bullying. of course, and immediately shot down as such.

It's insane, honestly. An old coworker of mine who I sometimes stay in touch with is Muslim, and a Trump supporter. I've tried to figure out why, since Trump has never shown any meaningful support of Muslims, and all he could say is that the economy was good under Trump. Like... was having gas be $0.08 cheaper really worth having your actual family banned from entering the country? Not only was he already living paycheck-to-paycheck under Trump and still under Biden, but he was literally directly affected by Trump's Muslim ban. I don't know how you justify that with yourself.

It's simple. Kamala said it's ok to be gay.

Jup. I saw interviews with muslim Trump voters saying exactly that.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

I was called a racist for having the gall to criticize the Muslim movement to not vote Harris.

Me calling white christians stupid for voting for Trump because it actually hurts them is OK. But calling Muslims stupid for voting 3rd party or abstaining because it actually hurts them is racist.

Don't you know that pointing out the obvious consequences of electing trump before the election was actually supporting genocide?

"don't tell Muslims what to do" is what I would get every time I'd point out that Trump will do far worse.
