Trump mocks Islam with 'Praise be to Allah' sign-off in Truth Social post about Iran

President Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. had begun 'clearing out' the Strait of Hormuz, claiming Iran was 'losing big' and that their 'Leaders' were 'no longer with us.' He signed off the post with 'Praise be to Allah' in what multiple sources described as a mocking tone toward Islam. This occurred on the same day that the first direct peace talks between the U.S. and Iran began in Pakistan. The post drew condemnation from Muslim advocacy groups including CAIR, which called it 'deranged mocking of Islam' and 'indicative of a mindset that shows indifference to human life and contempt for religious beliefs.' The phrase was used as a sign-off to a post celebrating military action against a Muslim-majority nation, demonstrating mockery through inappropriate religious invocation in a hostile context.

"Praise be to Allah" — Used as a sign-off to a Truth Social post celebrating military action against Iran and claiming their leaders were 'no longer with us,' widely interpreted as mocking Islam during active military conflict
