These people would fit in well with the other America-haters on the left.

Then how come "George W. Bush reached out in the 2000 election and won more than 70 percent of the Muslim vote?"

Bush "reached out" to them prior to 9/11. Things have changed since then, and I haven't seen Norquist disavow and distance himself from those who use him to get access to the White House for less than noble purposes.

There is no verifiable evidence that Bush carried the Mulsim vote by anything like 70% (other than Norquist asserting it (w/o footnotes)in the American Spectator and elsewhere. It turns out, by the way, that the only assertion one can find after exhaustive research for this claim came from a "sample" done by Sami Al Arian's Tampa Bay Islamic Center. What a shocker! What IS verifiable is that Bush and the GOP lost in every major state with substantial Arab and or Muslim population concentration (CA, NY., NJ, MI -- the latter being the then-only Arab American Senator, Spencer Abraham, in the state with the largest Arab and Muslim concentration). Florida.....well, we all know .... Hope this answers your question.
