An old reminder just in time for elections tomorrow:

Muslim voters acquiring more political clout

LOS ANGELES — There are 1.8 million registered Muslim voters in the United States, and that number is predicted to increase with a new generation of young Muslim Americans coming of voting age. Politicians are slowly starting to take notice.

A Democratic forum in Michigan organized by the Arab American Institute in October was attended by all of the Democratic candidates, and Michigan will print its first Arabic language ballots for the upcoming February primary.

A Labor Day convention organized by the Islamic Society of North America included three of the presidential candidates, who showed up uninvited to talk in front of a crowd of more than 30,000.

On the university level, Muslim students are gaining attention as Monday marks the start of Islamic Awareness Week at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Agha Saeed, national chairman at the American Muslim Alliance, said that the increased political importance of Muslim Americans should be expected.
