The article focused on the anti-digital campaign launched by the far-right against Democratic Senate candidate Abdulaziz Saeed, following his successful nomination by the Michigan Senate. The campaign utilized clips from his speeches, particularly the phrase "Inshallah," to transform him into a symbol of religious identity and to promote the conspiracy theory of an American "Islamic invasion," linking him to extremist Islamic organizations and alleging conspiracy against American identity. The campaign was launched swiftly across social media platforms, especially X, portraying Saeed as a threat to nationalist and right-wing currents, supported by misinformation and accusations of connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorism. It was also embedded within larger political contexts, with former President Donald Trump endorsing the campaign and linking left-leaning candidates, including Saeed, to threats to national security and Israel, reflecting an exploitation of the issue to sow identity divisions. The study shows that the campaign relied on a broad network of influential accounts, depended on resharing and mentions, and evolved into a polarized political and religious battle. Ultimately, Saeed's victory was reframed as a cultural and religious threat rather than a discussion of his political positions directly.
