The group of leaders cited Trump's commitment to ending wars and ensuring global peace as a primary reason for their support, describing him as a leader who "promises peace, not war."

"We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war!" Imam Belal Alzuhairi said. 

"We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine," Alzuhairi said. "The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason."
