To you and me they are not, but to this administration I wouldn't be surprised if they were considered as such.
This administration is letting Qatar build an airbase on US soil. I think it’s wiser to believe what people do more so than what they say, or what others say about them.

I don't think looking at Trump's history of actions toward individual Muslims subject to the authority of the United States government (as distinct from, e.g., foreign states that give him multimillion dollar bribes) really helps your case here, though.

I agree, if only because the thing you just said is entirely incorrect. Qatar is not building an airbase on US soil, they are building facilities on a US-owned airbase. This happens every year from the NATO partners like Turkey who have been doing this for decades.
Please do your own research, don't just cite Twitter/X on this crap.
This is a disingenuous example, Islamic student groups are not anti-capitalist, anti-American, or anti-Christian, and giving an example like this only creates FUD.
