Muslim Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden. But community leaders in swing states tell NBC News that the president's handling of the war in Gaza risks losing their support.
" in multiple battleground states that Biden won with thin margins last time, a growing chorus of community leaders say his handling of the war in Gaza and Islamophobia at home jeopardize his path to victory in the Electoral College, with many Muslim American and Arab American voters saying they plan to either stay home next November, vote for a write-in or a third-party presidential candidate, or simply leave the top of the ticket blank."
Not voting for Biden isn’t the same as voting for Trump. If it was, then not voting for Trump would mean that they were defacto voting for Biden.
Votes are earned, otherwise people are just hostages. If Biden, and Democrats at large, care about their votes, they’ll earn them.

Yes, I read the article before posting it…
And, yes, in a 2-party, winner-take-all system, not voting is the same as voting for Trump.
On election day, I think most Muslims know that not voting or voting for Trump or any other Republican is directly against their interests.
Whole lotta Stockholm syndrome in this thread.
And they’re proud of it! This is a whole lot of “if I just love them the right (pun intended) way, they’ll love me back!”
They’re not earned and people are voluntary hostages like their so noble for it.
