Many Muslim activists and operatives already felt all but neglected by the Democratic presidential candidates.
Now, as most 2020 contenders are set to skip what is billed as the largest annual gathering of Muslims in the country this weekend, they’re growing increasingly fearful that Democrats may miss an opportunity to mobilize their community against President Donald Trump next year.
Only two Democratic hopefuls, Bernie Sanders and Julián Castro, have confirmed they are going to the Islamic Society of North America’s convention. Organizers said they invited every candidate polling above 1 percent to participate in the presidential forum, as well as Trump, who also is not attending.
“If they’re serious about courting the Muslim vote, they have to show up. They have to actually follow up words with actions,” said Wa’el Alzayat, the CEO of Muslim advocacy group Emgage and a former member of the Obama administration. “They have positioned themselves as the party that has opposed the Muslim ban, rampant Islamophobia, and the rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration.”

Boo Hoo. Don't worry, they'll be right on it now that you've thrown a fit.
We can't wait for that to happen either.
They're ignoring them for a very good reason.
The American public would be so angry if they go because we've sent our sons and daughters to die over there.
I hope they go. I really do because you know in their hearts they want to.
Hey Dems, please cut your own throats and go to your buddies gathering.

Every Muslim is a ticking time bomb and should be dealt with accordingly.
We “infidels” do not have a duty to die for Sharia.

They had SO MANY CHANCES to prove to us that they were real Americans.
Mass protests after ANY terrorist attack here AGAINST the muslims who did it.
They could have carried Americans flags and sang the national anthem and promised their commitment to our country and all it stands for.
They did nothing.
There’s a consequence for NO action sometimes too.

Well, they’re NOT voting Republican, so they can complain all they want or PREFERABLY NOT vote.

Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims make blacks look like rock-ribbed Republicans. Democrats have the Muslim vote locked up.
