That doesn’t mean 90% of Muslims in America voted for Bush.

It contradicts the fact that they elect Muslims to the senate under the democrat banner in those states which are most heavily populated by Muslims.

60,000 Muslims in Florida is not 90% of the Muslim population in America. There are between 5-7 million Muslims in America, plus another 2-3 million illegal Muslims. Even using the most conservative estimates (5 million), 60,000 Muslims would be 8.3% of the Muslim population.

Pardon me

According to this article it was 78 percent, with 90 percent being in Florida

According to CAIR, 78 percent of Muslims voted Republican in 2000. It was a departure from previous elections, when this community tended to side with the health and education policies of Democrats. But conservative family values that Bush touted were attractive, as was his hints that he would seek to eliminate the 1996 Secret Evidence Act, which many Muslims believe targets members of their community.

Has that changed since 2000? Of course.
