Among the Muslim respondents in Illinois, about 12% of them said they are self-employed or run their own business. They create about 6% of all jobs in Illinois despite making up about 3% of the population. Researchers also found that Muslims in Illinois were also highly politically active and civically engaged; 75% of the sample is registered to vote with an additional 16% expressing an intention to register.
Muslims, Asians, Hispanics, Black from Africa and the Caribbean, Eastern Europeans — all people who came from places that are (or once were) essentially dictatorships. They are educated and/or entrepreneurial, family and faith oriented, conservative, and repulsed by woke Democrat policies. They are like 1950s Eisenhower Republicans.

The Muslim community is a huge opportunity for the Republican Party: conservative socially, religious, and wants a small, functional govt that doesn’t overstep its bounds or overtax them.

Yet for decades now they continue to vote Democrat.
