Recent events have raised concerns about Islamophobia in the Republican Party. In Michigan, a congressional candidate who had withdrawn from the race won a primary election by a double-digit margin over Amir Hassan, a former Muslim backed by President Donald Trump. Details of these events are available from KVIA ABC-7.

It is also reported that at a speech by President Trump in Las Vegas, some attendees booed upon hearing an Arab-sounding name. The name belonged to Austin Abdelnabi, a police officer who died in the line of duty. Further information about these incidents can be found through the source.
