“Our movement is dedicated to making Americans, especially the Muslim American community, aware of our shared responsibility to stand up to oppression and stop genocide wherever it occurs. “With this election on the brink, we stand with Jill Stein,” the group's statement reads.
Although Mr. Stein has no realistic path to the White House with just 1% support in polls, Mr. Stein represents more of a protest vote and could change the outcome of the election. They are stealing voters away from Democrats in extremely close states.
“We face two opposing forces: one currently engaging in conduct that causes significant human suffering, and the other showing little appetite for changing course. Both sides appear dedicated to maintaining these destructive policies,” the statement continued.
Mr. Stein will not appear in all 50 states, but he will be on the ballot in most battleground states, including Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

“Democrats lost the Muslim-American and Arab-American vote. They're going to lose enough numbers in swing states that they can't and won't win,” Stein said. .
After Biden leaves office, Harris will have to walk a tightrope to avoid upsetting Muslim American voters while also supporting Israel.
