Muslim Leaders Defending Hamas Massacre Protest Biden at Michigan Conference

A group of Muslim leaders gathered in Michigan to protest against President Joe Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war, with some defending the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel. The leaders, including individuals with controversial pasts, aim to convince Muslim Americans to vote against Biden in 2024. They accuse Biden of complicity in "genocide" in Gaza, while Biden has supported Israel's right to defend itself while urging caution to limit civilian deaths. The leaders have faced accusations of harassment, abuse, and support for terrorism. Exit polling shows that 69% of Muslim voters supported Biden in 2020, but recent polls indicate a decline in support among Arab and Muslim Democrats.
