You might get a kick out of this, go spy out McCain's website, and visit the "Get Involved!" section. You register on-line, and then when you visit you are asked how you'd like to help out, bla bla. One of the things is if you are part of a particular interest group, such as Hispanics, women, students, so on. One of the categories is, get this, "Muslims for McCain".

Now, mind you, I'm glad McCain is trying to reach out to Muslims, but I really doubt Muslims are trying to reach back. Well, maybe not empty-handed, at least...

I really can’t see any Arabs voting for McCain. McCain was FOR the Surge.

Dr. James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute noted that "The Arab American vote can be important in several battleground states and a number of critical House and Senate Contests." Noting that Arab Americans in Michigan represent about 5% of that state's electorate, while in Virginia and Ohio they comprise almost 2% of the vote, he noted that "the strong shift from Republican to Democratic party identification can play a role in close contests." In 2000, the overall Arab American vote was 44% Bush, 38% Gore, 13% Nader. In 2004, it was 63% Kerry, 28% Bush with 8% for Nader. About the Arab American Institute Founded in 1985, the Arab American Institute (AAI) is a nonprofit organization committed to the civic and political empowerment of Americans of Arab descent. AAI provides policy, research and public affairs services to support a broad range of community activities.

is that the same Zogby doing this poll?is he an Arab?

in 2004, there actually was a 10, 000 strong organization called MUSLIMS FOR BUSH whose leader appeared live on Dennis Miller’s show. It’s not that far-fetched, but the moderate Muslims are the key. Heck, I work with Muslims who love going to strip clubs and eat bacon cheesburgers from McD’s.

Barack Obama Holds Lead Among Arab American Vote

Well, duh.
And, "John McCain holds lead among taxpaying traditional American family vote".
Again, duh.

Why would Arabs being Arabs be historical.

Guess they don't want McCain and Palin kicking their butts.

I see that Zogby is still trying to spin this election as a win for the Democrats however he can.

Will Zogby’s Special Sauce be a factor in this election too?

End Zogbyism now.

Zogby, of course, is an Arab. Hence, his over-riding interest in this subject (and the obvious slant).

“Is this Muslims sticking together? “

Did you know that Obama had Muslim roommates in college ?
Both at Occidental in LA and at Columbia in NYC ?
Who Knew ?

Obama obviously filled out paperwork expressing a desire for Muslim roommates when applying.
These are Obama’s college roomies and best friends.
Sohale Siddiqi
Imad Hasain
Mohammed Hasan Chandoo
Wahid Hamid
Siddiqi admiited to selling crack and possibly heroin out of their aptmnt.
The group took Obama to Pakistan while normal college students went to Cancun.

The Obama campaign refuses to discuss this time period in Barry’s life. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/09/obamas_missing_years.html

If Leno asked during his “ Man on the street “ interviews whose these men were-most would most likely say-9/11 hijackers.
BZZ-Wrong.
They were Obama’s roommates.
Imagine if John McCain had Muslim Pakistanis from Karachi as his roommates.

They may call themselves what they will but they are no more Muslim than Obama is Christian, which is to say not at all.

The majority of Arabs in this country are Christians, who fled from persecution in the Middle East.

It is amazing how many of these people support our government’s efforts to neutralize militant Islamofascism.

You’ve hit the jackpot!!

Obama is hiding the fact that he was a practising Muslim up until he wed Michelle Robinson in 1990. Now, why would he do that? There is nothing wrong with converting to another religion UNLESS you are a Muslim apostate. Then, you’d be marked for death!
