Prominent Muslim and Arab leaders in Michigan, including Imam Belal Alzuhairi and Mayor Bill Bazzi of Dearborn Heights, have endorsed former President Donald Trump during a rally in Novi, Michigan. The leaders, who appeared on stage with Trump, cited his promise of peace over war and his commitment to end conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine as primary reasons for their support. "We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace—not war," Alzuhairi said. "I personally believe God saved his life twice for a reason," he added. Bazzi, the first Muslim and Arab American elected mayor of Dearborn Heights, emphasized the need for secure borders and strength in the Oval Office. The endorsements mark an unprecedented level of support for a Republican candidate from the Muslim community in Michigan.
