Pastor Sounds Red Alert After Midterms as 255 Muslim Officials ‘Serve’ Across America [WATCH]

In the days after the November 3 midterms, Pastor Jack Hibbs delivered a fiery warning to his congregation about growing Muslim representation throughout American government. Hibbs, who leads Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California, framed [1] the election results as an urgent political and religious alarm.

His message focused heavily on evangelical Christians who stayed away from the polls. Hibbs argued that their failure to participate carried serious consequences while Muslim candidates and voters organized effectively across federal, state, and local elections.

“Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who didn’t vote, you voted,” Hibbs said. His blunt point was that political inactivity still shapes election outcomes, whether disengaged voters want to admit it or not.

Hibbs displayed information about Muslim candidates who ran for public office and those already serving in government. He told the congregation, “255 Muslims who cannot, cannot swear allegiance to the Constitution.”

He also claimed that Islam forbids such allegiance and requires loyalty to Sharia law, which he described as a completely different system of government. Hibbs connected Tuesday’s election results to the government, military, and religion behind the September 11, 2001, attacks.

The pastor left little doubt about how he viewed the situation. “We have surrendered. It’s their party now,” Hibbs declared as he warned his congregation about the direction of the country.

Hibbs also aimed his criticism squarely at evangelical Christians and churches that failed to turn their numbers into political action. “Millions of Evangelical Christians failed to vote during the midterms. Look at the consequences.”

His criticism of passive churches was equally sharp. “Most churches are now irrelevant social clubs,” he said, arguing that congregations must become organized voting bases in the same way that Muslims use mosques.

More than 160 Muslim candidates ran for office. A record 97 candidates won or were reelected across federal, state, and local offices in 21 states, while eight Muslims were set to serve in Congress.

The figure of 255 Muslim officials predates the midterms. It matches the Council on American-Islamic Relations and CAIR Action’s August 2026 Directory of Elected Muslim Officials, which identified 255 Muslim elected officials and judges serving across 26 states.

Those officials were concentrated in local government, school boards, and state legislatures. New Jersey, Michigan, and California led the states listed in the directory.

CAIR later reported that at least 97 Muslim candidates won or secured reelection in the midterms. Other races still had Muslim candidates leading or facing results that were too close to call, and the organization tracked roughly 168 candidates who had advanced beyond their primaries.

Eight Muslims were headed to Congress. The group included incumbents Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, André Carson, and Lateefah Simon, along with newcomers Adam Hamawy of New Jersey and Darializa Avila Chevalier of New York.

Aisha Wahab of California was also included, although her race remained pending in some counts. Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed was identified as the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.

The accompanying message urged Christians to fight for the country politically and begin using churches as voting bases, just as Muslims organize through mosques. It warned that failing to take the trend seriously would allow Islam to gain greater influence.

Texas also figured prominently in the warning about the nation’s political future. “If Texas goes down, Islam knows the nation falls,” the message stated.

Hibbs closed with a direct appeal for families and believers to get ready for what he sees ahead. “Prepare your children, prepare your hearts, prepare your faith.”
