Dr. Matt, one of the founders of Muslims for Trump who helped flip Michigan in the presidential election, sits down to discuss how manufactured anti-Muslim fear on social media is being used to distract Americans from real issues. From Marjorie Taylor Greene confirming she has never once been asked about Sharia law at a town hall, to the exposure of paid foreign influence campaigns on X, this conversation reveals who is really behind the anti-Islam hysteria and why.
The Paid Anti-Muslim Campaign Exposed
Marjorie Taylor Greene herself admitted on a Zoom call with Dr. Matt that the Sharia law panic exists almost exclusively on social media, not in real life among her constituents. She pointed to a company called Influencible, owned by Brad Parscale, who is registered as a foreign agent working for Israel. This company manages thousands of social media influencers pushing anti-Muslim content to distract from legitimate criticism of foreign policy and to keep Americans divided.
“I’ve never been asked about Sharia law at a town hall. I just haven’t. I do think there’s a paid social media influencer campaign going on on X because that’s the only social media platform that I truly see it on.” — Marjorie Taylor Greene
Muslims and the Constitution
Dr. Matt makes a powerful case that Muslims in America are among the strongest defenders of constitutional principles. He encourages every Muslim to read the Constitution, noting that protecting individual liberty, freedom of speech, and religious freedom aligns perfectly with Islamic values. The real threat to constitutional rights, he argues, comes from those trying to restrict free speech on behalf of a foreign government, not from Muslim Americans who simply want to practice their faith and contribute to their communities.
“Your country is being subverted, the foundations of your country are being destroyed, all for the sake of a foreign government because some people think they have a religious obligation to support that foreign government.”
Key Points from This Discussion

- Muslims helped flip Michigan for Trump, demonstrating their active civic engagement in American democracy
- Muslim Americans share core values with their fellow citizens: family, faith, individual liberty, and opposition to the sexualization of children
