For 1st time in Iowa history, mosques are serving as caucus sites

[Aljazeera] Four years ago, Mohamed Ali, a volunteer with the Bernie Sanders campaign, said it was hard getting those in his community to take part in caucuses in the US state of Iowa.

"They just didn't have the confidence" or they felt uncomfortable, Ali, who is a Palestinian-American real estate agent in the Des Moines area, told Al Jazeera by phone. Others, he said, didn't want to be involved in politics for fear of being targeted or discriminated against.

But this year participation of the Arab-Muslim community "has been huge ... it's been really amazing", he said.

#2 Wear a Kippah and a crucufix in to vote, even if you aren't Jewish or Catholic. Hilarity ensues.
