In a March 15, 2024 Friday sermon at the Usuli Institute, Ohio immigration attorney Shayan Parsai said that the Muslim community in America will not vote for Joe Biden. 

He said that the pier Biden has announced will be built on the shore of the Gaza Strip is not intended for delivering aid into Gaza, but to extract natural gas from the sea. 

Parsai added that the "Israel lobby" pays millions of dollars to American politicians and entertainers in order to cover up their stealing of Palestinian land and wealth. 

The sermon was streamed live on the YouTube channel of the Usuli Institute. The Institute of Advanced Usuli Studies ("The Usuli Institute") was founded by UCLA professor of Law Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl.
