Former President Trump earned endorsements from "highly respected" Muslim leaders and Imams during a campaign rally in the battleground state of Michigan.
Trump, speaking to a crowd in Novi, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon, called the group of Muslim leaders "highly respected," before bringing them onstage.
"I’m thrilled to accept the endorsement of these highly respected leaders," Trump told the thundering crowd.
The group of leaders cited Trump’s commitment to ending wars and ensuring global peace as a primary reason for their support, describing him as a leader who "promises peace, not war."
"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."
"We're going to stop the wars, we're going to make the United States safe again, and we're going to make the world safe," Bazzi said.
"What a nice endorsement," Trump said after Bazzi’s speech. "These are great people."
The Muslim leaders official endorsement came after Amer Ghalib, the mayor of the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck, announced his support of Trump in a Facebook post on Oct. 20.
"Though it’s looking good…
We also talked about the situation in Yemen," Ghalib said.

Surreal. Democrats are losing the Muslim vote to the Muslim-ban guy all so they could keep sending weapons to a country flagrantly ignoring our gentle requests to please slow down on the starving and slaughtering
how do you know it's not the anti-trans issue?
Listen to his speech.
He also talks about “libraries” there’s some of that going on

First Pakistani Americans endorsed Trump and now a Yemeni group

Well, well, well, the 'peace candidate' rides again. Funny how Trump is all about peace now, but where was that sentiment when he was greenlighting drone strikes? Or cozying up to weapons manufacturers? This is just another act in the political circus, folks. The 'Muslim leader endorsement' feels like a convenient prop, just like the others. Wonder how much of this 'peace agenda' survives past the campaign trail if the war dollars keep flowing.
Peace candidate, huh? That's rich coming from Trump, the guy who threw gas on every fire he found. But sure, he's all about peace now—right until it stops being politically convenient. Muslim leaders endorsing him is a surprise, but I'd love to hear how they're squaring this with his history of hate speech, the Muslim ban, and every awful thing he said about Islam and immigrants.

Think what you want about Trump, but he's the only one questioning the D.C. war machine and calling out the military-industrial complex. Biden’s sending billions overseas while we drown in debt, and the media won’t say a word. Maybe these Muslim leaders see the global agenda for what it is: endless wars and control. Trump isn’t perfect, but he’s an outsider to this establishment machine.
Let’s not forget that Trump put America first. I don’t know how people can’t see the difference here. Trump focused on securing our borders, limiting foreign entanglements, and keeping our economy strong. If we’re talking about peace, I’ll trust him over Biden’s open-border, globalist agenda any day. Muslim leaders see it because they know Trump prioritizes American strength.
Look, whatever Trump’s motivations, this feels like a PR spin. I get it—Muslim leaders supporting a ‘peaceful’ Trump? It’s odd. But let’s not forget this is a man who tried to ban Muslims from the U.S. Are these leaders sure they’re backing someone who genuinely values their community, or is this more a matter of convenience?
Putting America first? You mean Trump put himself first. Let’s get real—he’s only anti-war until someone rubs him the wrong way. Let’s not act like he didn’t line his own pockets or prioritize corporations every chance he got. And now he’s using these endorsements to appear ‘inclusive’? Please. Every politician’s in bed with corporations, and Trump’s no exception.
The liberals and the left dug their own grave on this. Let’s be real, they supported bring them to America and politically engaging them because they thought it would politically help them. It is no longer true(also why I expect the left to no longer be so lax on immigration)
Much as I find Harris abominable, endorsing Trump while claiming to support Muslims is the dumbest and ugliest political spectacle I’ve seen this election season.
