But Osama Obeida, the center’s vice president

I did a quick scan of the article and read "Osama Obama" before I realized my error. My bad.

[xDGx]

Alaska Akbar!!!

[Red in Blue PA]

Wow! She never met with the few muslims who live in Alaska.

What a horrible person.

/most extreme sarcasm

[Retired Greyhound]

I’m counting her not meeting with them as a good thing

[almcbean]

This is very troubling. No one has ever won the presidency without nailing down the Alaskan Muslim vote.

[Deb]

But she did send them a lovely honey-baked ham for Ramadan.

[militant2]

““She has never taken the initiative,” Obeidi told NEWSWEEK.”

Obviously, neither did you, Osama!

Militant

[pgyanke]

But there’s at least one group of her constituents that has had a more subdued reaction: the state’s Muslims.

Nice endorsement!

[martinidon]

I bet there are some Christian, Jewish, and atheists groups the Governor has never met with also......

[Gunflint]

Isikoff didn’t think a sitting Clinton and Monica was newsworthy, but this is. Words fail.

By the way, these reporters aren’t going to stay in Alaska for two months, are they?

[Born In America]

I wonder if any relatives Zer0bama are hanging out in da hood in Alaska....

[Y2000]

Hey Isikoff just shut up
and
move to some terrorist(muslim) country or
some dhimmi countries like UK, India, France (any old Europe country)

[Calpernia]

>>>“Maybe she doesn’t know we have a community of Muslims here,”

I bet my governor doesn’t know my family has a community in my state too.

[G.Mason]

Alaska resident, and Muslim ... " Osama Obeidi said he was even briefly arrested a few years ago when he landed in Germany after leaving Anchorage on his way to Jerusalem ..."

Sigh ... Democrats ... victims all.

[flowerplough]

Islamic Community Center, located in a rented office in a strip mall, where members pray on Fridays. But Osama Obeida, the Anchorage Islamic Community Center’s vice president, said his group has never had any contacts at all with Alaska’s governor, Sarah Palin.

That settles it! She’s got my vote. Hell, I’ll even vote for the old, battle-scarred, former POW that picked her.

[montag813]

2,500 Muslims and NO mosques in Alaska and that is what "investigative journalist" Michael Isakoff "exposes"?

Meanwhile Obama held his first fundraiser in Bill Ayers' home, bought his house in a shady deal from Tony Rezko, and God knows what other dirt is lurking in Chicago.

But no, we need to know about the handful of Muslims in Alaska.

How absolutely pathetic.

[TexasCajun]

Seems someone has already secured the muslim block of votes:

[B.O. Plenty]

......no meetings, no invitations to state ceremonies, no pro forma letters commemorating the observance of Islamic holy days.....

Why would Gov Palin try to suck up to people who hate her anyway?

They bring nothing to the table except misery and strife....they will never give her any respect and she knows it. So why bother trying to even acknowlege them...the muslims would whine and complain that she dissed them in some manner no matter what she did....

Right on Gov Palin...

"But Osama Obeida, the center’s vice president, said his group has never had any contacts at all with Alaska’s governor. No meetings, no invitations to state ceremonies, no pro forma letters commemorating the observance of Islamic holy days. “She has never taken the initiative,”"

Nor should she. Her job is to run the state, not promote Islam. There is separation of church and state in this country. Who is this Asama to think he deserves a special invitation to state ceremonies? He's not an elected official or anyone special.

[Tax-chick]

Osama Obeidi said he and his father have been repeatedly hassled at Ted Stevens Airport when they fly to see their extended family in the Palestinian West Bank.

So blame Ted Stevens, guys. On another note, these people sure must be rich. I never fly anywhere, much less to the West Bank; what's a ticket from Anchorage to ... Tel Aviv, I assume ... cost, anyway?
