Republicans target Muslims in midterms
Election campaigns in the United States have intensified as the midterm elections in November 2026 approach, with efforts focusing on targeting Muslims and Islam in political rhetoric. Republicans, such as J.D. Vance and Greg Abbott, have accused candidates and mosques of promoting terrorism and attempting to establish "Sharia courts," leading to investigations and widespread criticism. Experts believe that this escalation reflects the Republicans' attempt to exploit voters' fears to offset their declining popularity and secure more seats, despite Muslims now making up about 1.6% of the population, totaling around 5.5 million people, with Muslims holding several important political positions in the country.
