Muslim voters disillusioned with President Biden’s position on Israel are facing the prospect of a difficult choice in 2024.

    No, they don’t. Being Muslim does not make a Person stupid. They can be stupid, certainly, but it isn’t because they are Muslim that they must face their stupidity.

      This article says that a higher percentage of Muslims voted for Trump in 2020 than did in 2016. Is it really far fetched to think that percentage could continue to rise?

        And their stupidity had nothing to do with being Muslim. I can assure you that stupidity runs deep through much of the Human species.

          Okay, so then why wasn’t there an even distribution of this stupidity?

              Demographics across the spectrum of humanity.

              Trump didn’t see a general increase of votership across the board, or he would have won, right? So it seems silly to hand wave it away as just “humans being stupid”.

                That presupposes they are independent factors. The more likely case rather, is that certain demographics attract stupid people. Trump famously said, “I love the poorly educated!” When a choice is involved, such as trump/Biden or dem/rep, we don’t need to see an even distribution of the population within those choices. With religion, often the smarter you are the better chance of you self selecting out of religion.

                  So you’re saying that their being stupid is more likely to cause them to be Muslim?

        It’s because people see Trump as a chance to make America a theocracy… and well, both Christians and Muslims have traditionally been keen on theocracies for some reason.

            My opinion is people wishing for theocracies are merely using religion as an excuse for control. Kind-hearted religious people adapt their religious views. Mean-spirited ones hide behind their religion as an excuse to do bad things.
