Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks
  • Why not Latinos, who had a major shift in voting from 2020?

That is not indicative of a widespread belief. From the interviews I’ve seen, from the Uncommitted delegates and Muslim American leaders in Dearborn, their votes (or lack of) were intentional and deliberated.

    Not to say that there aren’t many Muslims that don’t have this opinion; they aren’t a monolith. But, to generalize an entire community this way is negligent journalism.
