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.
http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=13635&t=Muslim+newspaper+endorses+Ron+Paul+in+Michigan
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.
Well it’s a natural match.
I wouldn’t lose my head over either of them.
Tha’s because he would leave them alone and let them take over anything they wanted. Eventually they would take him over also but he can’t see that.
Muslims join the cadre of cartwheeling, flipping, twisting, spinning, shuckin’ and jivin’ oom-Paul-oompas.
What was Barry Hussein Obama’s reaction to this endorsement?

I can’t find specifics on this group. Are they a branch of a 501c3 or do they share members with any 501c3s?
Churches are careful not to put their 501c3 status in jeopardy by endorsing any candidates. So how is this supposedly religious group engaging in politics?
I hope Paul supporters on FR are catching on. Paul is not fit for command.
No surprise there.
Here’s another group:
Why should YOU vote for Ron Paul?
Assalaamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,
You can help by sharing and sending this note to all the Muslims you know as well as by registering as a Republican and voting for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries in your state. Here’s why: Muslims and Americans have an unique window of opportunity for the 2008 election. There is a candidate running as a Republican that would work to completely cut off the funding to Israel, remove ALL US troops from Arab lands, and repeal the Patriot Act. He’s a Republican with Libertarian views named Ron Paul. Ron Paul’s policies ranging from monetary to foreign are top notch.
Till now Muslims and Americans have not had an American Presidential candidate that really suited their best interests. This election is unique in that we have a man running as a Republican that speaks the truth. Much of the our foreign policy in the Middle East has been influenced heavily by AIPAC, the pro-Israeli lobby, to the detriment of Muslims in the Middle East. As American Muslims, we are blessed to live in the US where we have the freedom to let our policymakers know how we feel about foreign policy; we may not have the power of an influential lobby but we do have the right to vote and every single vote counts. We know the current policies in the Middle East are failing, not only making it less safe in the world but hurting and killing innocent Muslims, which our media callously calls collateral damage. It is our duty as Muslims to follow the truth regardless of how futile it may seem. Ron Paul is the only candidate that does not seem to be swayed by the influential lobbies that the other candidates are catering to.
If you’d like to read some of his quotes, I’ve pasted them below. You can also find his speeches on YouTube here. Remember, the top-tier candidates OBAMA, HILLARY, GIULIANI, EDWARDS, ROMNEY, and MCCAIN are PRO-ISRAEL, PRO-NUKES and PRO-PREEMPTIVE WAR. DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM. They will not help us.
Brothers and Sisters, please vote for Ron Paul in the Republican Primaries. It’s our obligation to come together and try to stand up for not only our best interests, but the best interests of the entire Ummah. Living here in the West, we are obligated to do so. Otherwise, we are partly to blame for all the actions our government takes in our name.
American Muslims must RISE and UNITE. Let your voice be heard. InshAllah (God-willing), we can spread the word and make a difference.

They never caught on with Cindy Sheehan, I doubt this will phase them.
Now, that’s something to be proud of: the Muslims’ endorsement. I’m sure Hitlery and Obama have the same endorsement including Osama Bin Ladin and Hamas.
The underlying problem here is the obscene number of muslims in Michigan.
Why would Muslims object to the war?
Doesn’t their Koran command they constantly war against the Infidel?
Doesn’t their Koran assure them Paradise, as a Martyr?
Doesn’t their Koran oblige them to obey the commands of the Imams calling for war?
If Muslims truly object to the war - rather than object to having their asses kicked in the war, where are the Imams or what the hell they call their “Holy Men” who are calling for a END to their aggressions?
The paultards will just say this “proves” that his retarded policies will result in peace and happiness.
Actually, the underlying problem is Ron Paul.
I'm not sure the same can be said in this case.
