    It’s because people see Trump as a chance to make America a theocracy… and well, both Christians and Muslims have traditionally been keen on theocracies for some reason.

        My opinion is people wishing for theocracies are merely using religion as an excuse for control. Kind-hearted religious people adapt their religious views. Mean-spirited ones hide behind their religion as an excuse to do bad things.

          I think there’s more here at play than theocracy. I don’t know why more Muslims supported Trump the second time around but something is causing them to support someone who has a track record of being hostile to them.
