Original Post
Fact
The quote in this post is fabricated. During his sermon on November 6, 2026, at a Muslim community center in Colorado, Imam Karim AbuZaid did not call for an Islamic takeover following the midterms.
This segment of the sermon was about his belief that individuals were motivated to vote against candidates who relied on Islamophobic attacks.
There is no evidence of an attempted Islamic takeover in the United States.
No Muslim politician who won in the 2026 midterms has come out in support of implementing laws based on Islamic teachings.
