Fmr. University of South Florida Professor Sami Al-Arian who Was Deported from the U.S. for His Terror Links Advises U.S. Muslims to Vote for Jill Stein: I Want Harris to Win, but Let Her Get Her Votes Elsewhere; a Trump Presidency Will Hasten the Collapse of the U.S. Empire, which Will Benefit Us in the Long Run

In his November 3, 2024 appearance on Al-Hiwar TV (U.K.), Turkey-based Kuwaiti-Palestinian academic Sami Al-Arian discussed the upcoming U.S. elections, advising American Muslims to “punish” American politicians by voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein. He expressed hope that Kamala Harris would win, “because she will not be as fierce as Trump,” but emphasized that she should earn Muslim votes and not take them for granted. Al-Arian also suggested that while a second Trump presidency might be harmful in the short term, his foreign policy would ultimately benefit Muslims by hastening the collapse of the American empire through reduced military presence abroad and weakened ties to NATO.

Sami Al-Arian, a former professor at the University of South Florida and political activist, was deported to Turkey in 2015 after criminal proceedings found him guilty of links to Palestinian terror groups.
