Michigan perhaps, but Trump also won states with very low Muslim populations.

The Democratic party should have taken a stand, not because of electoral politics but because it is the only right thing to do, just as we all should take a stand today. The difference now is that the GOP is in power, and they don't give a shit. In fact, they want all the Palestinians killed. We could have stood a chance at persuasion had the Democrats retained power.
