Comments on: Arab/Muslim Americans should NOT vote for Barak Obama http://www.mideastyouth.com/2008/09/03/arabmuslim-americans-should-not-vote-for-barak-obama/ Thinking Ahead Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:46:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jamal http://www.mideastyouth.com/2008/09/03/arabmuslim-americans-should-not-vote-for-barak-obama/#comment-21075 Jamal Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:04:25 +0000 http://www.mideastyouth.com/2008/09/03/arabmuslim-americans-should-not-vote-for-barak-obama/#comment-21075 I think a good way to show displeasure in the current system is to VOTE, but vote for a 3rd party. Go with Nader or Green Party, or some other candidate. At least you're voting and making your vote "count" for something. I can't see supporting either Candidate as they both have undivided love for Israel! Jamal I think a good way to show displeasure in the current system is to VOTE, but vote for a 3rd party.

This is America, based on the belief of God. Now, I am Christian and I do have Muslim and Jewish friends but I do not understand how this can be such an issue. The president for America must be Christian, and that will be the only way to win, no exceptions! Almost everyone in the Senate and general goverment are Christian faith so good luck ever seeing the day and a Muslim based relion is voted in as President. No offense to anyone I am just making a clear fact. Now Obama may not have any faith at all and all a hokes, but I do not think he is just ignoring any race, he just understands the facts that a Muslim American would not be accepted as a President at this time, and all of the articles out about him makes him self councious stating that Obama is Muslim. (Now you great people of Muslim religon must know that America is founded on God and most are of Christian faith.)Just like if someone started a rumer that you were gay, at all of the parties you attended with your friends you would make sure you talked to all of the women at the party and no men, not even to sit by you. Not that you don't like men its just that you don't want everyone to think your gay even though your not, people might "assume" and talk about you more.

A person committed a crime, and he was tried and punished for that crime. According to the ABC story you linked to Idema "was later convicted by an Afghan court and sentenced to prison there." A fair trial and punishment not only supported by the laws of the country where the crime took place, but also a punishment that is not in violation of any international laws? The ICC would rejoice! One less case for them to deal with! Mark,

McCain and his VP are both warriors, in the sense that you can expect a war against Iran in the same manner that a war on Iraq was launched, or Afghanistan and any other country in the area, without even a real strategy at hand. At least Obama is significantly less harsher in that field.

Obama may be better then McCain, but so what. that's like comparing a D vs. an F, i'd rather not support either as they're basically the same when it comes to foreign policy/support of Israel. i'm voting Ralph Nader just to make a stand against the same old same BS in Washington politics. i agree with this article….arabs/muslims need to stop “settling” for a candidate that is pro-israel.

Mr Obama is a very good man and I think his candidate status is a million times preferable to that of McCain.
