60,000 Muslim Voters in Florida Played A Historic Role

(Orlando, Florida - 11/17/00) Of the 100,000 Muslim Americans in Florida, at least 60,000 have voted in this year's election. As estimated in a telephone survey of 350 Muslim Floridians, 91% have voted for Gov. Bush, 8% for Ralph Nader, and 1% for Vice President Al Gore.
At least half of Muslim voters live in I - 4 Corridor, the least committed group of voters in the entire state. In an exclusive
exit poll of Florida Muslims, 91% of those polled indicated that they had voted for George W. Bush.

Political pundits have been slow in acknowledging the crucial, even decisive, role of the Muslim vote in Florida," says Dr. Sami Al-Arain, a professor of engineering and a Florida resident. He, however, hopes, that "once the dust settles and serious political analysis begins, the importance of those groups that have voted enbloc will become apparent to all."


ìIn this year's election, not only the 7 million Muslim have crossed the rubicon, we have played a decisive role in the formation of a new national coalition of voters, observes, Dr. Agha Saeed, chairman of the American Muslim Political Coordination Council, the umbrella organization that had endorsed Gov. Bush and urged American Muslims to vote for him. ìIt wonít be long before political analysts realize that Muslim voters have played a historic role.

That's an unsubstantantiated phony poll.

Didn't that poll appear in the article by Grover Norquist BTW? Boy, he's in the soup now.

LOL. Isn't he about to be deported? Wasn't he just let go from his job? Isn't there a little matter of possible links to TERRORISM??
