More than 90 American Muslims, nearly all of them Democrats, are running for public office across the country this year. Many are young and politically inexperienced, and most are long shots. But they represent a collective gamble: that voters are so disgusted by Americas least popular president on record that theyre willing to elect members of Americas least popular religious minority group.
Although their number seems small, the candidacies mark an unprecedented rise for the nations diverse Muslim community that typically has been underrepresented in American politics.
There are more than 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States, but Muslim Americans hold just two of the 535 seats in Congress. And the Muslim communitys voter participation pales in comparison to the general publics.
The rise of Muslim candidates coincides with the growth of the predominantly immigrant population and a partisan shift that has played out over a generation. In a 2001 Zogby poll of American Muslims, 42 percent said they voted for Republican George W. Bush in the previous years presidential election, while 31 percent said they voted for Democrat Al Gore. By last year, just 8 percent of voting American Muslims in a Pew poll said they voted for Trump, while 78 percent said they voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

There is nothing to stop them .,however we can stop this immigration who will vote for these people, and pushing their sharia. We can also look at many of these mosques , and where they are being funded from.
...that voters are so disgusted by Americas least popular president on record that theyre willing to throw homosexuals off the roofs of hotels and stone adulterous women to death.
Fixed it.
Also if couples had more kids, and raised them as Christians , or even good , law abiding people like you I am sure
Any individual can do very little about immigration. You can vote for your Congressmen and Senators. At your state level, you might have choices that are less or more open to providing welfare benefits to immigrants.
We can “look at” funding for mosques, but what can we do about it?
How so? 1% of 535 members would be 5 people, right? Instead of 2? Doesn't that mean they are UNDERREPRESENTED? Thanks.
Run for office not a religion
The inmates are truly trying to run the asylum...The only good moslem is ...
Is he lying about “least popular president?”
Everything starts somewhere.
I would point out that just as there were once secret socialists and now folks no longer are worried about that label so too might there be Taqiyya Candidates who preceded those willing to openly run ... as Obama himself arguably was.
This election is our chance to find out how many people really believe “diversity” is good for its own sake and how many are merely afraid to speak out around the thugs on the Left.
He nails it. One cannot simultaneously be a patriotic American and a devout muzzie.
Personally, I have contacted my representatives, including the President, pointing out the evil and dangers of Islam with facts and history - and advocating that it be treated by our nation as a terrorist religion/philosophy/government. Unfortunately, my appeal has repeatedly fallen on deaf ears.
The reality is that we have a media, academia and celebrities that have brainwashed the sheep. If 911 didn't convince Americans that Islam is evil and needs to be outlawed, what will?
Quit reading there ...
