In a surprising development, Donald Trump gains support from prominent Muslim leaders and local officials in Michigan, emphasizing peace and shared values.
At a rally in Novi on October 27, former President Donald Trump received endorsements from several Muslim American leaders, including Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi and religious figures such as Imam Bilal Alzuhiry. These endorsements mark a notable shift, signaling Trump’s efforts to broaden his coalition in Michigan, a crucial battleground state.
“We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war!” Imam Belal Alzuhairi said. “We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine,” Alzuhairi said. “The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason.”
Muslim Leaders Highlight Foreign Policy as Key Factor
The rally, held at the Suburban Collection Showplace, featured endorsements from Michigan-based imams who praised Trump’s commitment to ending foreign conflicts. Imam Bilal Alzuhiry, representing religious leaders from Dearborn, cited Trump’s promises to end wars in the Middle East and Ukraine as pivotal to their support. “We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war,” Alzuhiry said, expressing hopes for global de-escalation under Trump’s leadership?.
These endorsements also reflect Trump’s appeal to socially conservative Muslim voters, who resonate with his platform on family values, education, and immigration reform. Alzuhiry lauded Trump’s approach to parental control over school curriculums, aligning with concerns many conservative communities share about public education?.
Expanding Coalition in a Critical Battleground
The endorsement from Mayor Bazzi, along with backing from influential imams, highlights Trump’s targeted efforts to appeal to Michigan’s diverse electorate. Michigan, with a significant Arab and Muslim population, remains a key battleground. Trump’s alignment with the concerns of conservative Muslim voters, particularly around international conflicts and social policy, could influence turnout in a closely contested state?.
Additionally, these endorsements come as Trump pivots his rhetoric to emphasize peace and diplomacy, a shift that could impact the ongoing debate over U.S. involvement in international conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war and the crisis in Ukraine?.
