Nearly 1-in-5 Americans would deny Muslim American citizens the right to vote, new report finds

Current public perceptions of American Muslims are distinctly unfavorable.

That’s according to multiple surveys from the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, including the 2017 Views of the Electoral Research (VOTER) Survey, which assessed viewpoints of 5,000 Americans, all of whom had been previously surveyed in 2011, 2012 and 2016.

The Democracy Fund Voter Study Group is a collaboration of nearly two dozen analysts and scholars from across the political spectrum.

In the group’s new “Muslims in America: Public Perceptions in the Trump Era” report published in June, researchers found that on average, Americans believe that only 51 percent of Muslim Americans respect American ideals and laws.

Nearly one-in-five Americans would even deny Muslims who are U.S. citizens the right to vote.

“according to multiple surveys from the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group”

Sounds like a high school after class organization. I ain’t buying it.

I say we adopt meh-EEK-oh’s immigration policy. That way immigrants NEVER are able to vote. Well, legally anyway.

**Americans believe that only 51 percent of Muslim Americans respect American ideals and laws.**

I wonder why?

Who are they kidding. This was written to say more than half of us have Islamaphobia.

After 9-11....what the hell do you expect. It should be 100%.

Yesterday, I saw a muzzie coming out of Costco looking for all the world like a total jihadi - dirty, pockmarked, with one of those caps on his head and wearing loose pjs. Interestingly, his pre-adolescent daughter was swathed in thick, dark clothes - I could barely see her nose through all the scarves. I thought it wasn’t until they were at least 13 before they had to cover up? Maybe bringing a new custom to NJ?

I wonder what percentage of the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group want to deny Christians the right to vote?

A poll of democRATS shows that 95% of them want to confiscate firearms and other weapons from every American citizen.

Repatriate them home now. Then no voting discussion needed. No tsa needed either.

The real problem with Muslims is the principle of taqiyya, lying to the Infidel for the protection or advancement of Islam. Since they do not believe it is wrong to lie, they can probably pass a polygraph while doing so.

So the Muslim neighbor who wishes you no harm cannot be distinguished from the terrorist who is biding his time waiting to strike. Better to have none of them than to risk their going Qur’an compliant and enslaving or killing you if you decline to convert.

Camoflage for the explosive vest she was wearing, no doubt. The crowd was too small, too few Infidels to kill, so he didn't blow her up- this time.

Given their penchant for barbarity, I could see denying muslimes the right to breathe.

I can definitely see denying them the right to be Americans. They’ve made it abundantly clear that they’re not interested in assimilating.

The right to vote should not be given to people whose avowed ideology includes murdering non-members and replacing the US Constitution with sharia.

American and Muslim should never be used in the same sentence. There is no such thing.

If we could convince the Chinese that Muslim’s testicles are an aphrodisiac, in 10 yrs. they could be extinct.

I am a retired veteran. I do not like Islam. However if they are legitimate citizens I totally support their voting. I served to protect our Constitutional Rights. I will stand anyone trying to eliminate those rights!
