Campaign aims to register a million U.S. Muslims voters in anti-Trump move By Mana Rabiee

FALLS CHURCH, Va. U.S. Muslim leaders hope to register a million voters from within their community to help combat what they say is the anti-Muslim stance of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The United States has only about 3.3 million Muslims, but campaign organizers say Muslim voters could have an outsize impact in swing states that are key to the November general election, such as Virginia and Florida.

"We want the Muslim community to understand that if you give up your rights voluntarily, no one will come and give it back to you," said Osama Abu Irshaid, a member of the board of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, which is spearheading the drive.

Imams have been asked to encourage their congregations to register to vote. Organizers have sent canvassers to college campuses, bus stations and gas stations in Muslim neighborhoods.

The campaign began in December and is part of an effort among U.S. Muslims to combat an "unprecedented rise in Islamophobia," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

CAIR's database showed that 300,000 Muslims had registered since November, he said.

They’ll be more reliably Democrat than even the Blacks, IMHO.

This is why Zero is importing muslims as quickly as he can. Additional Dem votes, supplied via taxpayer $$. What’s not to like? /s

Don’t be so sure. A majority of the Muslims coming here will not want to turn the US into the places they left. And the maniacs? How many of them will actually vote?

OK, Muzzards & CAIR can just start running their jihadi mouths:

“Trump is the misbegotten son of a goat! Vote for him, infidels, and there will be consequences! ALLAHU AKBAR!!!”

That’ll scare voters away from Trump./s

The democrats have bringing them in to breed and multiply, and to become a huge voting and contribution block.

Problem is, when they have finished replacing us, who pays the taxes that go to pay their welfare and smartphones?

This could finally wake up a lot of black Americans to the reality of how little the Dems give a shiite about them.

Is there any doubt?

The Lyndon Johnson Plan: Get 90% of every minority and you will rule the United States forever.

That Plan is working quite well but the Dems want to keep building on that Majority of the Minorities scheme by the simple expedient of importing more of them. Our culture, our traditions, the rule of law, our safety and the sanctity of the Constitution are being destryed in the process.

Wake up America.

Get the Muslims to vote for Hillary, the minorities, the union people, the teachers and professors, the bureaucrats and all government workers, the liberal gays, lezzies, non-binary genders, the communists, the socialists, the low-information men and women.. All of the groups that are screwing up this world going for Hillary. Factor in the dead who vote and the touchy electronic voting machines.. It is gonna be an uphill battle that will require EVERY pro-American voter to get up and out the door on election night!

Again I’m asking - begging - the Soccer Moms and the misguided 20 somethings to wake up and smell the coffee.

If/when the lower 48 becomes another Europe with Hillary as Chief Executive, there is NO turning back. Look at the way Angela Merkel talks to her own native citizens.

Freedom will just be a word in the dictionary.

"Did Muslim Vote In Virginia Swing Senate Control"

'The Detroit Free Press reports Muslims played a critical role in the November midterm elections'
[March 2007]

Imam Mahdy Bray, Speaking at a Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America convention in Dearborn, highlighted the effective effort to turn out Muslim voters in Virginia.

The effort was so organized that Muslim taxi drivers in northern Virginia took the day off to ferry Muslims to the polls, said Imam Mahdy Bray, a speaker at the convention. Volunteers also made phone calls to Muslims in Virginia to urge them to vote, he said.

As a result, Democrat James Webb ousted incumbent Republican George Allen by about 9,000 votes in a race in which 50,000 Muslims went to the polls -- 47,000 of them voting for Webb, Bray said.

If 96 percent of Muslims are going to vote Democratic, that would make them a more reliable Democratic constituency than African Americans.

[everyone needs go to the polls in Nov or we'll be outvoted!]

How many of those 300,000 are legitimate US citizen voters?

Bonus: How many of them want to see sharia established in the US?
