Shock Poll: Majority of American Muslims DON’T Oppose Trump’s Gaza Plan; Take Anger Out on DEMOCRATS!

Of all the Middle East peace plans that’ve been proposed since 1948, President Trump’s was the first one that featured bearded dancers and casinos. His video representation of “Trump Gaza” (that he posted online) speaks for itself:

One of the PR benefits of adopting an over-the-top persona is, you can’t ridicule what’s already ridiculous. The Economist dubbed the “Trump Gaza” A.I. video “a weird new genre of political communication,” where policy proposals are insulated from controversy under the pretext of absurdism.

It’s also funny. And those cocktails look yummy:

But would Muslim Americans find it funny? After all, roughly two-thirds of adult Muslims in the United States were born outside of the country. Some cultural differences loom larger than others, and political humor is probably one of ‘em.

The Muslim vote has an outsized impact in presidential politics because it can flip key swing states, i.e. Michigan. As Al Jazeera noted:

In the city of Dearborn, where some 55 percent of residents are of Middle Eastern descent, Trump won with 42.48 percent of the vote over Vice President Kamala Harris, who received just 36.26 percent. The Green Party’s Jill Stein, who campaigned heavily on ending Israel’s onslaught on Gaza, received 18.37 percent. In 2020, an impressive 74.20 percent of voters in the city had cast their ballot for Biden.

Would the Trump peace plan alienate Muslim voters?

Maybe. Or maybe not: Foreign-born Muslims are actually more likely to condemn Islamic extremism than younger Muslims...

Yesterday evening, the New York Post released a remarkable story: “Muslim support for Democrats plunges as group opens to Trump’s Gaza plan: poll.”

Only a third of Muslim-Americans identify as Democrats as the party reels from political setbacks with a bloc of voters it hemorrhaged in the 2024 election cycle, according to a stunning survey exclusively shared with The Post.

When asked to identify their political party, 34% of Muslim respondents said Democrat, 34% said independent and 33% said Republican, according to a survey conducted by J.L. Partners last month in partnership with the Muslim American Leadership Alliance.

Democrats have been hoping that Trump’s staunch support of Israel could help the party recover lost ground with Muslim Americans. The J.L. Partners poll showed that Dems have managed to regain the edge over Republicans but are still generally below where they were five years ago.

Perhaps the most shocking finding was that a majority of American Muslims don’t oppose Trump’s plan to transform the Gaza Strip into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

Most liberals hated it, of course: A whopping 84% of Democrats opposed.

But only 49% of Muslims opposed it… despite all the leftwing hysteria about “apartheid” and Palestinian “genocide.”

The always-in-charge Donald Trump shared a portentous AI video clip of his Gaza plans,
featuring Israel's Netanyahu serenely sipping a cocktail on the inviting "Gaza beach."

Generic Muslims may be more likely to support Palestinians out of Muslim solidarity. Those from specific areas harmed by them could hate them with a passion, without necessarily liking Israel. Some might even look at Israel as the enemy of my enemy.

Is there such a thing as a “good” Muslim? One that doesn’t support Sharia law and oppressing women and killing Jews?

I’ve known several.

Smart, hardworking, and treat their wives with love and respect. If anything, their wives rule the roost.

Came from Muslim families that immigrated here, most are first-generation American-born.

They’re older, like me, not the brainwashed radical youth of today.

“ Foreign-born Muslims are actually more likely to condemn Islamic extremism than younger Muslims...”

Every time, every place, the moderate muslims who immigrated to your country are sometimes okay. Their kids trained in radical Saudi funded mosques ALWAYS AND EVERYWHERE turn into terror supporters.

Democrats are an absolute mess. That won’t stop the people in the blue part of Ohio from voting Dem, without regard to the candidate.

You answered your own question. Our version of a "good Muslim" is one that does not really believe in the koran.

The true believers want only mooselimbs to walk the face of the earth, with everyone else dead.

Trump is ALWAYS in-charge.

An AI video of his Gaza plans features Israel's Netanyahu
