ELKRIDGE, Md.—A group called “Muslims for Trump”? It almost sounds like a joke.
But Sajid Tarar, a Pakistani immigrant who started the organization to convince his fellow Baltimore-area Muslims to support Donald Trump, is very serious. He argues that the presidential candidate who has proposed banning Muslim immigrants and surveilling or closing U.S. mosques is actually the best choice for his community.
“As Muslims, we have a hope that Trump can guide America toward the right direction,” Tarar, 56, told me earlier this month. “He’s rewriting history.”
While it’s definitely an unconventional opinion among Muslims, he isn’t alone. In a poll of Muslim voters conducted by the Council of American-Islamic Relations last month, 11% of respondents said they supported Trump. Tarar is one colorful example of this baffling and largely ignored voting bloc.

In American politics, we like to use identity as shorthand: it’s easy to conceptualize the “Muslim vote” as a monolithic bloc. But as Tarar makes clear, voters are far more complicated than any single identity. He’s Muslim, but he’s also conservative and pissed off at the establishment and worried about terrorism.
“This is my country and this is my kids’ country. That is my number one priority, the safety of America,” Tarar said. “Donald Trump agrees with that.”
Then he put on his navy blue “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” hat and flashed a smile for the camera.
you know his life is in danger now right?
Im interested in how the black converts and arab/pakistanis view Trump differently.
Hell yeah it is. I've no doubt he's also been told that to his face more than once, by those who'd do the deed themselves.
The problem with Islam is that there really is only one teaching. The so-called fanatics follow all of it, while the so-called moderates pick and choose the sane parts.
There's no good end to it, until some Imam modifies the Koran by cutting out the killing. For which the punishment will be death, of course.
The “moderates” are often dangerous .
They may become “fanatic” and anyway they are waiting the demographic time-bomb .
TAQYA they call that ie LIES
The man was also educated at American University (where I did my graduate studies). He saw that America is a great place to live, study, and enjoy freedom.
I hope that many more foreign-born Moslems renounce terrorism as he has done. It will be a reassuring sign that not all Moslems are terrorists (which we know) and that those who are tolerant, devoted to peaceful ways, and are becoming Americanized to some positive degree, are becoming part of our society.
This is one way to reject the appeal of Islamic jihadism.
Ibrahim Cooper, head of CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood front organization is a white convert to Islam.
Taquiya!! YES!! You can’t believe what any of them say.EVER! Wake up USA, before it is too late.
The sane ones like him - the crazies hate and fear him, even when compared to Cruz....
God Bless America!
you know his life is in danger now right?......No different than any Trump supporter in today’s America.
Mine isn’t. Anyone who tries to stop me from voting for him is.
10s of millions of white men, many blue collar, in their 20s to 50s...not a fight i’d want to pick.
Once the military rolls against us, then yes, we’re ######ed.
The sane ones like him - the crazies hate and fear him, even when compared to Cruz....
...
Looks like the crazies have the sane ones outnumbered 89 to 11.

How many Americans will be fired or assaulted for supporting Trump? There is a PC attack on Trump supporters.
So fight the @#$@#$ back if assaulted and if fired, sue the company.
Or let them order cheese with their whine.
That’s a dem trait. Not ours.
In the meantime damage is done. Vote Trump and kill them PC beats.
voting in 4 days.
would LOVE for someone to get in my way.
Unexpected phenomenon. Ping.
