Record number of Muslim Americans elected in 2022 midterms

This year's midterm elections propelled a large number of history-making politicians into office, from Congress' first Gen Z member to Maryland's first Black governor. It also proved to be historic for Muslim Americans, with a record-breaking number of community members being elected to their respective seats.

Republican Mehmet Oz would have been the nation's first Muslim senator had he won his seat in Pennsylvania. But even with his loss, 82 Muslim candidates swept up local, state, federal and judicial seats in 25 states, a report from the Jetpac Resource Center and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) found.

Many of those wins were in red states, including Texas, Virginia and Georgia, and included 20 incumbents and 17 new candidates. Those seats range from local boards of education and city councils to the U.S. House of Representatives, where congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-MN, and Rashida Tlaib, D-MI, maintained their positions.

How many were Republicans???

The principles and values espoused by Republicans is much more in line with Islam than is the Democratic Party.

Muslims represent 1.4% of the total US population.

Roughly 3.45 million (but that figure was used for 2017 and 2022 so cannot possibly be accurate).

So the 1.4% had to be joined by our regular Dem relatives, coworkers, friends and neighbors to vote for
Michigan:
Rashida Tlaib
70.8%
over GOP Steven Elliott
26.3%
and
Gary Walkowicz Working Class Party
2.9%

Minnesota: Ilhan Omar 75.2% over Cicely Davis GOP 24.8%

Mineesotastan is probably more than 1.4% MuhamMAD.

I remember a FR post from a woman who said during the first Omar campaign: “We’re in trouble here. They’re portraying her in the media as an innocent, quiet girl with a sweet smile. She’s gonna win.”

That happened and a lot of naive dolts still don’t know what the Quran says about eliminating or overwhelming the infidels.

They’re taking the jobs Americans don’t want to do. Who the hell in their right mind would drag their families into the sh*thole called American politics. It’s not fair to the families to throw them into that swamp called the District of Corruption. Only a moron would run for a political position. Just look at the scum that got elected this time. Lots of real lowlifes added to the House and Senate and even governorships. Politicians are afraid of having to get a real job to support themselves and their thug children like Hunter Biden.

I read the Quran after the Sep 11 attacks to see if the attacks were the norm for the religion, or if it'd be incorrect to judge Islam based on a few who claim to be Muslims. My thinking is that I don't like people judging Christianity because a very few people in the KKK claim they're doing God's work.

I was amazed at how often MuhamMAD wrote to slay the infidels, be at war with the infidels, tax them to force them to convert and if that doesn't work then kill them, rape them if they're not Muslim and not married to a Muslim, etc. I read one of the hadiths too and it's worse. And you can't trust anything they say because MuhamMAD taught it's good to lie on behalf of Islam.

Excellent points based on facts.

Since the Crusades ended only the Muslim side has been fighting. Some “peace.”

The invasion continues until they have enough to trash present government and establish their long desired worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law.

The invasions on two fronts continue and almost no one cares...

We are, in the long run, worse off than the Ukrainians...
At least they are fighting back...

The communists and ISIS are pouring across the borders and establishing a permanent foothold...

Some wondered what was wrong with selling a lot of our steel to Japan in the 30’s and 40’s until it was to late.

You need to read the Koran. Islam is antithetical to Christianity. Individual Muslims are not the problem, it is their religion, one of conquest and conversion by the sword, that is the problem. Stop being politically correct.

Mohammed was a pedophile. Islam is a cult of death.

Blood is it's host and killing is it's communion.
