Only Muslim Woman on Trump's MAGA Religious Committee Resigns in Protest of Iran War

"I resign in protest of two deeply troubling developments. The official removal of Carrie Prejean Boller for her deeply held beliefs about Palestine; and the federal government's illegal war against Iran, undertaken without clear constitutional or congressional authorization."

"The commission, which was created by Trump via executive order in May, has up to 14 members and three advisory boards consisting of religious leaders, legal experts, and lay leaders, and is tasked with advising the White House and reporting to Trump up to twice a year."

Sameerah Munshi, a conservative Muslim activist serving on Trump's White House Religious Liberty Commission's Advisory Board of Lay Leaders, resigned in protest of two issues: the removal of Carrie Prejean Boller for her beliefs about Palestine, and the federal government's undeclared war against Iran lacking clear constitutional or congressional authorization. Munshi, who gained Trump's attention in 2023 by supporting parents opposing LGBTQ+ content in schools, published a Substack explaining her resignation and describing her participation in the commission as "evil." The commission, established via executive order in May, comprises up to 14 members across three advisory boards tasked with advising the White House on religious liberty matters.
