Muslims have a hard time voting for Democrats-- gay rights, socialism, abortion, support for illegitimacy-- they just can't stomach this stuff. Most actually voted for W last time round. Apparently gave W the margin of victory in Florida.

What I'm hearing is that most won't vote this time round. Still find the Dems issues repulsive. But post 9/11, feel betrayed by Republicans.

Not getting into whys and hows, just the sad facts. Leftists like Jim Zogby and other left leaning Arabs are bound to take advantage of this feeling and try to drive the Arab/Muslim vote over to the Democrat line.

I've seen polls (by Zogby of all people!) that show Muslims more opposed to abortion than even Catholics.

Muslims are much more socially conservative than the average American Jew on most issues. Few, unfortunatly, see past the blinders unfotunatly imposed by 9/11 to realize this.

If they would just keep their world conquest in the box they would find the Religious Right a comfortable place as far as social issues go.

OTOH, Palestinians couldn't ask for a better friend than the Dems and Clinton.

I can see them just waffling back and forth with the political issue of the day.
