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
Sun to rise in East tomorrow morning.
WELL,,,,DUH! Sheesh!
Only 90%?
I bet the number is 99.99 if you poll Muslims worldwide
Muslims vote for Obama; US military votes for McCain and Obama is supposed to win. Seriously, what in the world is going on in this country?
Now if only 90% non-Muslims had good sense to vote against Obama.
The other 10% are just MINO's. ; )
When was the last time you saw a muslim vote for a Christian?
Of course. How dare this McCain infidel show up with that Palin woman who should be covered in a burkha..
That’s really the most powerful ad. Show Obama endorsements from all of these foreign dictators and then show the Military Times poll that has 70/30 in favor of McCain. Take it away from the economy a bit.
Bush 2000. Seriously... non-black Muslims used to be heavily Republican. Maybe Lieberman was the reason.
Abortion was the reason. But muslims all turned heavily against the war. I know a lot, they are pretty brainwashed when it comes to toeing the line from their “opressed” brothers in the middle east.
Only 90% ? Thats odd.
Why are such an overwhelming number of Muslims voting for Barack Hussein Obama, a self professed Christian? How come their not evenly split between the other Christian candidates?
They know whose side he is on. I doubt, though, that he has any religious beliefs at all.
The other 10% are LYING!!
But....there were not muslims running against him.
