I am told that American Muslims largely voted Republican in 2000 so that Mr. Lieberman, a Jew, wudnt become VP. Is that right?

Regards

"
I find it laughable that ‘they’ present Ayan Hirsi as some sort of Islamic Scholar when she is a self proclaimed atheist."

You mean an Atheist cannot be an Islamic scholar???
What nonsense. Ali Hirsi exposes not only the mullahs - but these 'moderate' muslims trying to 'protest' against the west and thinking that they are some sort of turncoats and secret agents of Allah in the dar-ul-harbs they live in.

The manner in which Ali Hirsi gets bad mouthed by these 'moderates' is abominable!!

I have more in common with my Christian and Jewish neighbors and coworkers than I do with Arab-Americans or Paki-Americans, even though many of them may be Muslims. We Americans judge others not by where they're from, but by what they say and do. And the sad truth is that many Islamists have said terrible things and done nothing positive.

Very timely article. Participating in elections is a huge part of being a citizen in a democracy. This is the time to get into it as citizens who care about other fellow citizens, finding common cause with other citizens. Fellow non-muslim citizens do not belong to a great religion, as a result would tend to be bigoted and suspicious. They might consider some acts are polarizing, but that is an unfortunate result of biased media. But that is the landscape and ummites must do the best out of it. There are other groups of citizens who will take care of general issues like universla health-care etc so that is not that important. Foreign policy vis-a-vis muslim world and human rights for the growing ummah therfore need to be the most important issues. (other foreign policy parts e.g. global warming etc can be taken care by others.)

According to gallop there are somewhere between 6-8 million Muslims living in America and that number is on a steady rise. Our average household income is around 60K which is no chump change either.


It's gallup..and the numbers are completely wrong..they're inflated, for self-serving reasons, by islamofascists apologists like CAIR...

Even the income numbers are bogus...the average income of paki-americans, based on the latest census data available, is 50K..


I find it laughable that ‘they’ present Ayan Hirsi as some sort of Islamic Scholar when she is a self proclaimed atheist.


Oh so now you have to be a practitioner of the religion of peace to claim any sort of expertise?

funny...not being a physicist or chemist or metallurgist never stopped pakis from claiming expertise on how fire doesn't melt steel and how 9/11 was a jewish conspiracy...


You should do something about the 25% of young muslim-americans who think suicide bombings is, well, kosher

These are challenging times for Muslims around the world...

WTF is this?

When u guys learn to live with others with a sense of shared responsibility? What is special and exclusive abt Muslims?

This site is like a Muslim evangelical site.

Chowk Editors, u r big time suckers....
