Stop blaming the collective Muslims for the electoral success of Islamists in U.S. elections! This is unfair and politically counterproductive. 👉 By blaming Muslims collectively for electoral outcomes produced by much broader American constituencies, you risk strengthening the very Islamist claim that Muslims and Islamists are politically inseparable. You are only making Islamists stronger by doing so! 💹 Broadly speaking: American Muslims represent less than 2% of the U.S. population. Not all are eligible to vote, and Muslim Americans are politically diverse, and only a fraction of them support Islamists. I, for one, have been fighting against those Islamists and their hateful ideology for almost two decades, both in Egypt and here in the U.S. 📘 Three cases to further prove this fact: 1. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan (2026) * Votes received: Approximately 2.51 million (52.5%). * Estimated Muslim population in Michigan: 274,000 (2.7%). 👉 Even if every Muslim resident, including children and noncitizens, voted for El-Sayed, they would account for only 10.9% of his votes. They cannot make him win! 👉 At least 89.1% of the votes given to El-Sayed must have come from non-Muslims. These are the people who made him win. 2. Zohran Mamdani in New York City (2025) * Votes received: Approximately 1.11 million (50.8%). * Muslims represent an estimated 7% of New York City's registered voters. 👉 At least 93% of registered voters are non-Muslims. 🧨 Even more shocking, Exit polling showed that 33% of Jewish voters and 75% of religiously unaffiliated voters supported Mamdani. 3. Adam Hamawy in New Jersey (2026) * Votes received: Approximately 164,640 (70.4%). * Estimated Muslim voters: At least 56,141 registered Muslim voters across the four counties that overlap his congressional district. Hamawy's congressional district includes only portions of these counties. Some of those Muslim voters live outside his district and could not have voted for him. 👉 Even if all 56,141 voters supported Hamawy, including those who cannot even vote or those outside his district, they would account for only 34% of his total votes.) 👉 That means that at least 66% of the voters were non-Muslims! His district also has a substantial Democratic base, making broader partisan support essential to understanding his victory. 🚩 It is not a coincidence that in several Muslim-majority countries, including Egypt, the home of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Brotherhood has faced significant popular opposition, political exclusion, and official banning and designation as a terrorist organization. Many Muslims have resisted Islamist political movements, sometimes at enormous personal cost. ‼️ Islamism is a political ideology, not an inevitable expression of Muslim identity. You can be non-Muslim and still adopt this hateful ideology as a way of life and political practice. Conversely, you can be a Muslim and completely reject this devious ideology of the Islamists. In short: ❓Is there a serious threat to US democracy? Yes of course ❓Are Islamists and their ideology and tactics the main driver behind this threat? Absolutely, yes! ❓Are the collective American Muslims (barely 2% of the entire U.S. population) to be blamed for the success of Islamists? Absolutely not! (Check the facts and numbers I listed above). 👉 By blaming all Muslims for your inability to block Islamists from hijacking your democracy, you are only offering these Islamists exactly the narrative they want to advance with their evil and devious agenda to destroy your democracy from within. ✋ I, and many other Muslims like me, are on your side and want Islamists to be defeated, and want this great Western democracy to continue to thrive because it is the only place where we feel safe. So, please be careful and do not empower our common enemy (the Islamists) with such collective blame. Let's focus on the real fight to save America before it is too late. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
