#1 Karl Rove put them up to this, didn't he?

#2 Yeah, boo hoo for the Republicans, right? wrong.

Think about it for a moment. If you were, say, a democrat, and in the next election your party won the presidency (heaven forbid) by a slim margin. How would you feel, hearing Dan Rather on the post - election roundup saying,
"Well, the democrats are back in the white house, due in no small part to an overwhelming Muslim vote"

#3 So they'll flock to the Democrats, thereby making it the the pro illegal alien, pro terrorist party? I'm sure the Dems look forward to that support. They don't have enough problems?
Maybe the "More Evil Then Bush" Rove did put them up to it.

#4 It just might help Bush break the stranglehold on the Jewish (and maybe even middle-class black) vote. Caving to Muslim demands is political poison to those of us with memories good enough to remember 9-11. I have nothing against Muslim individuals, but selfish group whining about how THEY (sniff, sniff) are inconvenienced, when they saddled the rest of us with massive life-changing inconveniences, massive increased spending (taxes) to pay for all of the security we need against Arab fanatics and over 3,000 deaths.

To all the Muslim whiners who come here for freedom and then complain that it's not good enough for you....don't let the screen door at INS hit you on your way out.

#5 I respectfully disagree with all the jokes. These nice Arab Muslims are just beginning to do in here what they are finishing in France: silent invasion, multiplication...in the end nobody can do anything without their permission.
They do not mix, the second generation will be more fanatic than the first, the third more...There is a problem here, a big one. And if we don't find a solution that is in line with the Constitution and democracy they will find a (final) solution for us. Take a trip in the areas around Paris...have a look...

#6 I'll be really impressed when these folks block vote for Lieberman.

#7 I agree with Matt, but the Libs agenda only helps the really radical Muslims. But their miles apart when it come to ideology. Picture a Democratic Muslim at a convention in San Francisco? Their head would explode! Of course, that might happen anyway.

#8 Wonder if the AMC and CAIR consulted with Iraqui-Americans or Iranian-Americans like the ones I know. I think they will be shocked to find their "bloc" is not a monolithic as they believe it is...

#9 How about a write-in campaign for Chirac?

I seriously doubt that much of the Muslim vote is going anywhere other than for Bush, especially if we can make some progress in making Iraq functional over the next year. If Bush can point to a halfway prosperous, semi-democratic Iraq, he will have done more for the Middle East than any other president in US history. Plus the Republicans are going to be able to put together one heck of a testimonial commercial from liberated Iraqis. "I'll never forget the day the Marines came to the children's prison. Thank you, Boosh."

#10 Did the author if this article see the people from Detroit celebrating the liberation of Iraq? Did he/she watch the celebrations in other key cities where Iraqi dissidents live after fleeing Saddam's Iraq? This whole thing is just another attempt by the looney left whiners to try to fracture the Bush message. The people complaining are those who want to live in the United States, but demand to be treated as if they were the upper class of their home nation, on vacation in this country. If they want to be treated as equals, they need to act as equals, not spoiled brats. That includes obeying the laws of this nation. There are no exceptions for any citizen, regardles of race, creed, color, nationality, sex, or ethnicity. If these whiners can't accept that, they don't belong here anyway.

#11 Still have not heard a loud,public condemnation of terrorist and thier suppoters out CAIR,&AMC.
If they object to regestration there is a simple solution activly and publiclly help law enforcement root-out and destroy terrorist orginazations and thier supporters.Boot-out,ostricize and publiclly condemn the Imams,Mullahs,etc.who use Mosques to preach hate and violence.Untill they take the actions I propose they are part and parcle of the problem.
