There has been much written about Muslim political support for both parties. There is no doubt that Muslims gave plenty of money to Democrats. Hillary Clinton benefited from generous Muslim contributions as one example.

In the 2000 election most Muslims may have voted for Bush for two reasons:

-Al Gore is very pro-gay rights. Muslims are not.
-Joe Lieberman was running as VP. He is Jewish. Muslims hate Jews and perceived that ticket as being too pro-Israel to support.

To say that Muslims have primarily voted and supported Republicans would be false.

To rely on the BBC for any credible info regarding Arabs or Islam is a huge mistake. They are very biased. Why do you think people call them the "Baghdad Broadcasting Corp."?

To rely on CAIR as a credible source for any accurate information would also be a mistake. They are an organization with questionable motives and some of their leaders have been tied to terrorism.

CAIR Chairman Omar M. Ahmad told a crowd of California Muslims in July 1998, "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."
