Muslims are a tiny fraction of the U.S. population, making up somewhere around one percent, according to the Pew Research Center.

But a lot of Muslims live in key battleground states like Florida, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, which makes them a small but important group.

That's why Hillary Clinton's campaign is trying to make sure they show up in large numbers on Election Day.

This week across the state of Florida, Democrats were making a major voter registration push tied to Eid, the Muslim holiday. Muslims lean Democrat, but they're less likely to be registered than your average American.

So at a mosque in Orlando this week, Mohamad Shatara grabbed a clipboard as soon as prayers finished. Shatara is the regional organizing director for the Democratic Party in nearby Volusia and Flagler counties.

He asked worshipers if they were registered to vote and soon met an Arab man who had been a citizen for 20 years but had never voted....

muslims are victims of islam. They have one chance to be saved from the evil of islam. After that, they are the enemy if they follow the allah and mohamhead crap.

IOW...they go after the Muslim vote and alienate the Jewish vote. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

“Vote for us and we will make everyone face Mecca to pray and the women wear sacks on their heads!”

“Vote early! Vote often!”
“Cause We’re your friends, Not like those deplorable Republicans!”

No, most Jews will still vote for them because most Jews are liberals, live in liberal areas and are non-religious or pseudo-religious. The orthodox Jews lean more conservative, but the liberal Jews will not be perturbed by this.

Yes, I’ve heard they are really going after the dead Muslim voters. Not only do dead Muslims vote democrat, but also their 72 underage virgins. How’s Trump gonna compete with that?

What a joke. The muzz will always side with whomever they think will advance their goal of conquest, and there is no doubt that that equates to the Dims. No muzz will vote for Trump. So, such an “outreach” is meaningless, because the Dims have the muzz vote anyway.

“They hate the West.
Why are they here ?”

The West is a “fixer-upper” to Muslims.

Look at what’s happening in Germany, and then check out the anti-hate-speech task force established by London’s Muslim Mayor. The plan is to destroy the West and then turn it into part of the Caliphate.

They aren’t immigrants, they are colonists.
