The Muslim community’s votes helped Trump win Michigan and influenced the results in other swing states.
US Muslim leaders, who sided with Donald Trump in protest against the policies of the Biden administration in its support for the war in Gaza and the Israeli attack on Lebanon, were disappointed by some decisions of the staff of the newly elected administration. Reuters reported this on Saturday, November 16.
In particular, Rabiul Chaudhuri, a Philadelphia investor who led the Dump Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and founded Muslims for Trump, said that the Republican candidate “won because of us, and we are not happy with his choice of secretary of state and other nominees”.
Rexinaldo Nazarco, executive director of the American Muslim Engagement and Empowerment Network (AMEEN), said Muslim voters hoped Trump would elect officials who would work for peace, but that has not happened.
“It looks like this administration is going to be completely filled with neocons and very pro-Israel, pro-war people, which is a failure on President Trump’s part for the peace and anti-war movements,” he said.
Hassan Abdel Salam, a former University of Minnesota professor who co-founded the Abandon Harris campaign that supported Green Party candidate Jill Stein, said Trump’s staff plans are not surprising but more extreme than his feared.
“It looks like he’s going to the Zionist regime. We’re still waiting to see where the administration will go. However, it looks like our community is being played,” he said.
Many Muslim and Arab supporters of the election winner hope that Trump’s former acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, will play a key role in ending the war. This should be helped by the fact that he has spent several months working with Muslim and Arab communities in the United States and has been introduced to events as a potential next Secretary of State.
Another key Trump ally, Masad Boulos – Tiffany Trump’s Lebanese father-in-law – has repeatedly met with Arab-American and Muslim leaders.
Boulos and Trump promised Arab-American and Muslim voters that the Republican was a peace candidate who would move quickly to end wars in the Middle East and beyond. However, neither one nor the other was immediately achieved.
US President-elect Donald Trump announced that North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum will head the US Department of the Interior. and the National Energy Board.
