Ninety percent of US Muslims voting for Obama
WASHINGTON: About 90 percent of American Muslims are expected to vote for Barack Obama on November 4, according to a key Muslim community leader, who wished to remain anonymous since any open or overt expression of support from a Muslim group for Obama is likely to hurt rather than help his bid for the White House. Leading Muslim organisations and groups have been requested by Obamas people not to declare their support to the Democratic candidate openly as they fear it will be used to decry the senator as a crypto Muslim or jihahidi manqué, so much paranoia about Islam and Muslims has been spread by neocon supporters of John McCain and certain radical, ultra conservative church and evangelical groups. According to Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Taskforce on Universal Rights and Elections, Our goal is to maximise Muslim voter turnout, support candidates who support civil liberties, world peace, universal healthcare, better education, a fair immigration policy and social justice. Even if better candidates were to win on November 4, it will take a long and determined effort to help restore Americas promise, ideals and principles. The American Muslim Taskforce is planning to release a Muslim-American voter survey in the next few days. khalid hasan
[BANG!]
“Ten...ten out of ten American Muslims support Obama.”
Burt Lancaster. Flaming liberal who despite being dead has already cast an early ballot for Obama.
90+ percent of blacks and Muslims, and at least 75 percent of Jews and Asians. Duh.
This country is going to get what it deserves unfortunately.
