Why my Muslim family voted for Trump(self.The_Donald)

Obviously one of the hot topics this election is to throw the label "Islamophobe" on every Trump voter. I just wanted to provide a few of my viewpoints on why my family and I chose to make America great again.
• First thing I want to point out is that no matter what race, religion or socioeconomic background you are, anyone who followed the election should have been able to realize the massive media bias that occurred and the narrative that was being constructed. We watched as so-called liberals and so-called democrats make Clinton out to be a hero. We watched as all those people bent over backwards and pretended that Clinton was one of the good guys because they felt us compelled to pick between the ‘lesser of two evils’.
• The result of this was huge amount of uninformed people who choose not to look at the issues and imagine themselves on a moral high ground. While I agree with Trump on many positions such as economy, trade, and infrastructure Ill focus on the Middle East and Terrorism. 1) Hillary bringing up Trump saying "I guess" once for invading Iraq multiple times when she VOTED for it was just hilarious.
2) As a previous Ron Paul supporter, Trump was the only proponent of a non-interventionist foreign policy. Anyone with an interest in finally bringing peace to the Middle East knows this has to be the final solution. Hillary had her hands in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and all the other disasters that have cost American taxpayers and soldiers dearly and allowed for the creation of a power vacuum where ISIS has flourished. Shes been a part of the exponential increase of drone strikes during Obamas tenure and was advocating increased involvement in Syria. Now the Syrian refugees are Americas duty when your funding of (unvetted) rebels with arms and cash blew the conflict to another level? How does the media gloss over this?
2) Any educated Muslim can tell you the role Saudi Arabia has played in fueling the spread of their oppressive, backwards form of Wahhabi Islam across the globe. This is the start of modern radical Islam and the evidence is there from Chechen rebels to bin laden- the Saudis have been there every step of the way. The fact that Clinton is in bed and profiting off this regime speaks VOLUMES. The complete pussyfooting of the Obama administration in addressing this conflict of interest is an issue that has left many Muslims disenchanted.
3) What many people fail to realize is Trump has actually been one of the few who has faced this issue head-on. Muslims dont need a pity party by the politically correct on the issue of radical Islam. Even his most "extreme" Muslim policies directly address terror-prone high risk areas. To blatantly twist that into Islamophobia helps no one. Muslims more than ever want to address the assault on the religion by radical Islam.
4)To completely ignore whats going on in France, Germany and many parts of Europe with refugee immigration is a disservice to our country and the many Americans who are rightly concerned. Just because you are Muslim does not blind you to the objective realization of the problems some of these refugees have had with assimilating, and its not something Americans should be shamed into wanting.
