I see this as a positive to get out the vote. Of course, GW & the very wise Karl Rove have all of the answers to how they can include all of these types under one tent & call it a positive. Have you heard any of these Arabs speaking out for America? All the way to Afganistan when the ENEMY IS WITHIN.

...Ribhi Mustafa is a swing voter who has already swung [to Kerry]...

This would make a GREAT commercial for Bush/Cheney.

"Actions speak louder than words," said Zakaria, 28. "They treated us like suspects."
Dude. You were suspects. You may still be suspects. So condemn terrorism already and carry on.

No they cannot. This article overestimates their numbers 5 times over. Bush visited Michigan Arabs twice, and Sununu 3 times, and promised the moon. It meant nothing, he lost Michigan despite all the hoopla.

Majority of those "fifth columnists" voted for Bush in 2000.

This particular "fifth columnist" among others voted for George Bush in 2000, Dole in 96, and Bush Sr in 88 and 92. Just like most Arab/Muslim Americans. And in spite of some breathtakingly stupid actions on part of this Bush, probably still going to vote for him.

Because while Bush makes mistakes overseas, Kerry will make life right here unbearable.

No disrespect intended to either your post or your opinion, but let them vote for whomever they want. We can do nothing about it. It's always going to be Bush's support of Israel, or that mean ol' Patriot Act, and on and on.

In the war against terror Israel is our strong ally, and we must continue to support them.

About the only thing the local Muslims can do legally is continue to deny Bush Michigan and New Jersey (as someone else pointed out, Bush lost Michigan in 2000; he also didn't carry Jersey).

Kerry led Bush 54 percent to 30 percent among the estimated 550,000 Arab American voters

Yeah, and I bet Saddam Hussein would lead even more among the same voters. Saddam ain't running, but they will take what they can get.

One thing seems sure: It's a far cry from Oct. 11, 2000, when candidate Bush spoke out in a debate with Gore against the use of "secret evidence" in deportation proceedings against Arab immigrants.

Hummmmm...what could have changed in America between that time and this to make perfectly reasonable Americans suspicious of people with names like "Muhommed"?

If Arab-Americans make their preferences known for Kerry, this is as likely to work againstKerry, as in his favor. Kerry may pick up the Arab-American vote, but Joe Sixpack may not want to be in that "big tent", and cancel the Arab-American's vote by turning to Bush.

Arab Americans turn to Kerry in 4 key states

This needs to be publicized loudly. Arab Americans block-vote for Kerry! (Wonder why?)

"What really did it for me was when Bush called Sharon a man of peace," said Mustafa, who has family living in a village outside Ramallah, in the West Bank. "I started screaming at the television. His own people call Sharon 'Bulldozer.' "

Funny, I hear Republicans are making inroads with the long-Democratic Jewish vote.

There are less positive signs, too, including the use of a dark-skinned man - who Democrats contended looked Middle Eastern - in a recent Bush ad attacking Kerry's record on terrorism.

After 9-11, the Bush administration put out a lot of wanted posters with pictures of people who looked pretty Middle-Eastern to me and had Arab-sounding names. Definitely a slur on an ethnicity. Kerry needs to pound us with this!

"Bush still enjoys majority support among Christian Arabs, as well as the Iraqi and Chaldean communities, which are large and influential in Michigan."

Its not an "Arab" thing, its a Muslim thing. The press tries to obfuscate that fact.
