-- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released the results of an informal exit poll on Friday that shows more than 85 percent of American Muslim voters picked President Barack Obama in Tuesday's election.

That number is lower than a similar poll conducted in 2008 that showed 89 percent of American Muslims cast a ballot for Obama.

CAIR conducted the informal survey of 650 American Muslim voters, with just 4 percent of respondents stating that they voted for Mitt Romney.

Poll findings:

• 95.5 percent of the Muslim voters said they went to the polls on Nov. 6.
• 85.7 percent cast their ballots to re-elect President Obama.
• 4.4 percent of respondents said they voted for Mitt Romney.
• States with the highest number of survey respondents (in descending order) were California, New York, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Florida, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio.
• 41.5 percent said they consider themselves Democrats. A similar number, 40.6 percent, consider themselves politically independent. Only 7.4 percent said they are Republican.

"The fact that more than 95 percent of Muslim respondents went to the polls is a clear indication that they are fully participating in our nation's political process and are part of the fabric of America," Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR said in a press release announcing the poll results.

Good morning.

Blacks vote for a black, muslims vote for a muslim. Of course, that is not racist or bigoted.

Publicize the bitches and get them out of the country.

‘85 percent of American Muslim voters picked President Barack Obama’

Well why not, except for the American part they are all the same.

[I want the USA back]

No surprise there. He has been showering favors on his co-religionists so no wonder they vote for him.

No surprise. Think the percentage is wrong should read 100%. Wonder why Obama is taking off for SE Asia. Doesn’t dare go a mosque in the U.S. to pray and thank his Mohammad, Feels unsafe in the middle east, so he is going to the area where he first worshipped his so called god in a Muslim mosque.

Talk about illegal voters. How many of these people have not been in this country until very recently? I don’t understand how they are able to vote so quickly in our elections.

[Bshaw]

I refuse to believe that 10 percent of Muslims voted for Romney, that sounds like they might need a recount.

Though, there could be 10% of Muslims that actually think America is a pretty cool place to be.

I pray they police their brethren. Lord knows Obama won’t.

[freekitty]

85% of illegal voters. I never saw a muslim voter either.

[bergmeid]

Thailand has an increasing muslim problem. Maybe he is going there to see what he can learn from them to help muslims overrun America.

i can’t think of any other reason.

[Big Mack]

I bet when they did the poll, they had some way to identify the 10% that didn’t vote Braaack. I’m sure they will all be the first to volunteer to wear the vests when the time comes.

[JoJo Valjean]

Well, Muslims do tend to be socially conservative so it isn’t a surprise that some would vote for Romney, most were probably put off by the rampant Muslim hate in our movement, something I’ve never quite understood since they share a lot of values with us: pro-family, pro-life, pro-heterosexuality etc

Also guys, Obama may be many things but a Muslim isn’t one of them. Let’s not give our opponents ammunition when there are many many legitimate criticisms of big O.

[bgill]

I thought the number would be around 108%.

[From The Deer Stand]

Birds of a feather.....

[DarkWaters]

And of course the overall reason by all said groups was to raid the public treasury for goodies and presents for themselves and those that they deemed worthy. The Middle East is a fine example of the mentality as is the urban areas in this country.

Wow. I am shocked. /s
