Michigan, And Arab-Muslim Americans In 2024 Presidential Election

The state of Michigan, and particularly the area of Detroit and Dearborn, has a large Arab-Muslim population, and is one of the “swing” states in Presidential elections!

Understandably, they are upset over the Israel-Hamas War in the Gaza Strip, and have indicated their abandonment of Joe Biden and the Democrats in the recent Michigan Presidential Primary.

But the problem is that the election of Donald Trump would not be favorable to the Arab-Muslim population.

So it is a question of accepting reality, and the hope that Arab-Muslims in Michigan and elsewhere will, reluctantly, support Biden as the “lesser of two evils”.

Such is politics, as there is a binary choice, and to vote for a third party or stay home is totally counterproductive!

the 15 electoral votes of Michigan may be the deciding state in the Presidential Election of 2024, so the burden is heavy on the Arab-Muslim population there, and throughout other states and cities that have a notable population that could have an effect on the political future!

The states of New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California have more Muslims than Michigan, but they are all reliably Democratic states, while Michigan is a crucial swing state, so all attention will be paid to that state in November!

Arab And Muslim Anger At Joe Biden Over Israel-Hamas War Endangers Michigan Support In Presidential Election

Michigan is one of the most crucial states in the upcoming Presidential Election of 2024, and with its large Arab and Muslim population, centered in the Detroit area and particularly in the nearby suburb of Dearborn, President Joe Biden faces a massive revolt,

Biden’s support of Israel in the war against Hamas in Gaza has led to massive loss of life, with some Michigan families losing dozens of relatives.

So there is a movement in Michigan to help defeat Biden, although there is no sane reason for Arabs and Muslims to support his likely opponent, former President Donald Trump, who has been hardline in his policies and views on both groups.

So despite understandable anger, Arabs and Muslims are only spiting themselves, but in the process could end up deciding that Donald Trump wins Michigan and its 15 electoral votes, the third most such votes among states seen as in play in the upcoming election, only behind Pennsylvania with 19 electoral votes and Georgia with 16 electoral votes.

An Inspiring Moment: Barack Obama At Henry Ford Museum Sitting In Rosa Parks Montgomery Bus

Yesterday, while campaigning in Michigan, President Barack Obama visited the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, and sat in the seat of the bus that Rosa Parks sat in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the opening salvo of the civil rights movement in America!

It brought back the courage and principle of Rosa Parks, who was arrested, leading to the year long boycott led by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who came from Atlanta, Georgia at age 26 to promote the cause.

This was one of the best photo opportunities involving President Obama in three years plus in public office, and it reminds us that the battle for civil rights is a never ending battle with no final victories, and requires our determination and stubbornness to make progress in the direction of human rights!
