The new survey, part of a report published on Thursday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair), shows that the majority of Muslim-American voters have decided against voting for either Republican candidate Donald Trump or the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.
Twenty-nine percent of those Muslim voters polled said they were planning to cast their votes for Stein, leader of the Green Party who has made ending Israel’s war on Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank a key policy priority.
“We’re grateful for the strong support of Muslim voters who share with us an ironclad determination to end genocide in Gaza, as well as the endless wars in the Middle East, and the discrimination and injustice faced by our Muslim neighbours, immigrants and refugees,” Stein said in a statement provided to Middle East Eye.

The poll also showed that around 11 percent of Muslim voters surveyed are planning to vote for Donald Trump, while four percent are choosing third-party candidate Cornel West and 16 percent are still undecided.
The survey consisted of responses from more than 1,000 registered Muslim voters and was conducted after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week. The survey is part of a larger Cair report chronicling the political attitudes of Muslim voters. This report included an additional survey that polled 2,850 Muslim voters between May and July, prior to Biden dropping out of the race.
Muslim voters for Stein I can kinda understand; it makes some sort of a statement, and those voters are never going to vote Democrat.
Muslim voters for Trump??? Are we sure they’re not from the cult of face eating leopards???
I know a guy who was doing this, their logic is that Trump is a petty piece of shit and he was extremely pissed that Netanyahu called Joe Biden to congratulate on his 2020 victory, and because he is so petty he would be the candidate to most likely force either an arms embargo or a ceasefire as punishment.
I’m not saying I agree with them or am voting for Trump, I’m just stating their logic.
This was pre Netanyahus visit to congress and meeting with Trump so idk where he stands now.
