The Muslim Observer is a newspaper based in Michigan. The editors at the observer have peaked out from under their turbans and have decided that Ron Paul should have won the Michigan primary. Fine and dandy .. they get to chose their candidate. You might, however, be somewhat interested in just why The Muslim Observer chose to endorse Ron Paul.

The newspaper says that it is supporting Ron Paul because he meets the Muslim community's concerns about the War in Iraq, "an issue that every media outlet has ignored in the primary political campaign in Michigan." The paper says that the War in Iraq is the primary source of major problems in America. In other words, according to this Muslim newspaper, it was the US reaction to an attack by the serene religion of Islam that is to blame. Let's not blame the actual root of the problem ... Islamic extremists' disdain for the US and everything it stands for, and its willingness to kill infidels in the name of Allah. The paper cites that Ron Paul voted no against the War in Iraq, is against the Patriot Act and wants to bring home the troops immediately. Therefore, because of these cowardly characteristics, Ron Paul deserves the full support of Muslims in the Michigan primary.
Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't read like an endorsement that is going to sit all that well with the American people. For me .. it just reaffirms the very reason why I cannot support Ron Paul. This is a man whom I do not believe would do what he needed to do to protect our country from Islamic goons.
Paul thinks America was wrong to fight the Cold War and he thinks we’re wrong to fight the War on Terror. That’s why the Muslims endorse him. It’s not because Muslims favor the gold standard and legalizing marijuana.
Less than one.
Just under 1 is the preferred number, but short of that, if there are any mosques or halal shops within driving distance, that's a clarion call to action for any community.
He is the kind of isolationist nutjob the NAZIs and Islamofascists love.
He thinks we can just trade nicely with people like the Taliban and the Saudis and Palestinians and everything will be all right.
He is an historical ignoramous out of touch with reality and an embarrasment to the Republican Party and the Libertarian movement.
