I have not seen this elsewhere yet.

"American" Muslims formally endorse KERRY

On a previous post we see that brother CAM is in ISRAEL
promising them things on Kerry's behalf and then we see the
following endorsement.
Kerry is building a COALITION for sure. So far he has the official
endorsement of THE COMMUNIST PARTY and now
The American Muslims;

What's up with that??
Someone is not paying attention.
And the press as usual misses an opportunity to get the answers!

Here are the links and some of the text for review.
Please help throw down the gautnlet to as many as possible.

The HYPERLINK "http://www.mapac-us.org/home.asp"Muslim American Political Action Committee has formally endorsed
Sen. John Kerry for president.

"What does it mean for Muslim Americans if President Bush is
re-elected?"asked Mukit Hossain, president of MAPAC, in making
the announcement.
"It means more constricting laws and policies to curtail the
civil liberties of the Muslim Americans, and harsher
foreign policies toward Muslim countries –
in the name of combating terrorism.
It also means a continuing and menacing
rise of anti-Muslim sentiment in America, covertly nurtured by the
neoconservatives, and openly fanned by government officials
like Lt. General (William) Boykin and Attorney General John Ashcroft."

[b]Hossain, a telecommunications entrepreneur who emigrated from Bangladesh,
said the decision to endorse Kerry came after months of considerations,
discussions with Muslim American leaders across the country, and extensive dialog with the Kerry campaign and the Democratic Party leadership.

"Since Senator Kerry is not controlled by religious and political
ideologues, the possibility of an open and productive dialog
with the Kerry administration for the Muslim Americans remains alive," he said.
"The Kerry campaign has already shown an eagerness to be inclusive,
and an inclination to engage in such a dialog.
So, the only viable option open to the Muslim Americans is to
strongly support John Kerry and assert ourselves as an
important part of the electorate - as the swing votes in the
battleground states,
we are poised to do so.
At the same time, before the election, we
must extensively strive to impress on the Kerry campaign
the crucial importance of the Muslim American voters
through active engagement."

But will the formal endorsement of a Muslim American group
help or hurt Kerry?

If another group's poll is correct, it could backfire.
According to a poll released by a the
Council on American-Islamic Relations, one in four Americans
holds negative views of Muslims generally.

CAIR's survey found:

* More than one-fourth of survey respondents agreed with
stereotypes such as "Muslims teach their children to hate"
and "Muslims value life less than other people."

* When asked what comes to mind when they hear "Muslim,"
32 percent of respondents made negative comments.
Only two percent had a positive response.
* Those with the most negative attitudes toward
Islam and Muslims tend to be less-educated white
who are politically conservative.
* While half of respondents believed that American Muslims
are "cooperating" in the war on terror,
50 percent did not believe that they are
actively "condemning" terrorist acts.

Meanwhile, MAPAC - in cooperation with
the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation -
has been creating a database of the Muslim American voters
in the battleground states and other states where there are
large presence of the community.
According to preliminary findings, the group says,
battleground states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida
have enough Muslim American votes to provide a formidable
swing bloc.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS.
KERRY MAY DO HIMSELF IN!!!


Make it a great day.

Over 160,000 American Jews living in Isreal have registered to vote, stating that they support George Bush. I'm sure this is the reason Cam is there.

Knighthawk formally endorses Kickin' their A$$es.

The American Muslim community disgusts me. They want us to feel sorry for them, but I have yet to see or hear any so called American Muslim leaders and or muslim communities come out and express outrage for what happened on 9/11.

They have all kept quiet on the subject and I really want to know why.

As one Arabic paper recently lamented after the hideous acts committed against helpless Russian schoolchildren. CAIR worries about the image of Muslims in America, yet it is the actions of Muslims in America and the world, either through the commission of atrocities or the tacit appoval of same through their lack of condemnation that makes all Muslims suspect and accomplices in the deeds of a few.

Can the endorsement of the terrorists themselves be far behind? Didn't HAMAS endorse Kerry (asking here)?

An endorsement of Kerry simply adds to their dishonor, in my opinion.

I wouldnt put too much weight on the fact that American Muslims are endorsing Kerry. They endorsed Bush on 2000. Furthermore, for various reasons it is dangerous to lump all muslims together.
