muslims for bush??????

yeah i know these people, like gays for republicans or jews for hitler.
there are always some people who will sell out their brethren for greed or ego.
Assuming its a real site staffed by real people.
name one iman or alim who has put his name forward to support it as i cant find any on the site.
id guess a weeks wages that the 6-12 people who run this site do so for money not faith.
but hey get a respected and known american islamic scholar to say hes seen it and likes it and i will join mr realist as a tory party member.

First a post is placed on the board showing how some Muslims support Bush. Now this may seem surprising to a UK readership but in the US would not be seen as unsual. The Bush / Republican message of Family Values, Pro-Life, Low Taxation etc plays very well with part of the US Muslim community. What is predictable and to be blunt disgusting is how quickly this post is turned into a anti Jewish attack.
Indymedia and its supporters are becoming rapidly marginalised and ignored because for ever larger sections of the broad UK Left it and they are seen as having an anti Jewish agenda. This series of posts reinforces that view.
A year ago at my University the majority of us were regular readers of IM now only a few of us and then not often.

Muslim life in the USA

American Muslims are by and large quite conservative in their views, they favour a strong emphasis on the family and often find the Republican Party better represents their views than the Democrats. Bush may well be seen as an invader of Muslim countries here in Europe but that view is by no means universal in the American Muslim world. Pakistani Americans are almost 100% in favour, Iraqi Americans probably around 70% and other Middle East Muslims probably 50/50.
Muslims have in general done well out of life in the US, their income is higher than the US average, their children are far more likely to be Degree educated compared to the norm and they enjoy a degree of religious freedom which is enshrined in law.
I do not find it in any way surprising to see this website.
