When you get reminded that America does some things much better than every one else in the world... you just gotta say "America... **** YEAH!!! http://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2016/03/08/spotlight-arab-american-muslim-voters-engage-issues/81486692/ Young Arab-American Muslim voters helped fuel Sanders' win Niraj Warikoo, Detroit Free Press9:12 a.m. EST March 9, 2016 Standing outside a precinct in the south end of Dearborn that's more than 90% Arab-American Muslim, Shiab Mussad handed out slips of paper in English and Arabic urging voters to support Bernie Sanders. "He's for people like us, people like me," Mussad, 22, explained Tuesday as voters ambled toward Salina School, which sits close to the Ford Rouge plant. "I got thousands of dollars of college debt, and he talks about making college affordable, giving me a fair shot. That resonates a lot with me, with young voters."

Xameil Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Dearborn Muslims and Arabs tend not to be welfare queens like the white folks on Wall street They actually run legitimate small businesses without being on the teet of the gov't Idk..I think this has as much to do about Muslims voting for a Jewish man as it does about Hillary's shtick. I'm sure there is a fair share Dearborn Muslims who are also on the government teet as there are white folks on wall street. But if you have numbers to prove otherwise, I'd love to hear it.

mcsluggo Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 the point is that muslim voters in the USA chose to vote for a Jewish candidate based exclusively on the campaign issues that were important to them, whatever those issues were... muslim americans view the issues with an emphasis on the American part, rather than the Muslim part. Similarly, a majority of American Catholics chose GW Bush over Catholic John Kerry. And in the USA this happens while voters remain strongly committed to their faiths. this is a big deal.

Xameil Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Youre thread became victim of the ES tradition of someone trying to push an agenda.

twa Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 You think Muslims can't be bribed?....I guess you don't think they are human. The point is they are not biased against people of Middle east descent? ....or is they they are biased in favor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both went to the DMV to get a title transferred. The place was packed and we were the only two white dudes in the place including the employees. everyone was middle eastern. My only question was, did they check the weather before they all decided on Dearborn? The Muslim immigrants in Dearborn actually descend from a very moderate line of followers. Except the first group decided to renounce moderate-ness for a short period of time to stone the first Muslim guy who settled in Dearborn and told everyone how great the weather was. But after that they resumed their tolerant ways. What you and twa do in your spare time is your own damn business... It is and now very legal in many many states.
