Salaam, while it is true that muslims in general ARE social conservatives...the process by which working class muslims end up voting idealogically (abortion, gay marriages, things they are largely unaffected by) and not practically (economics, welfare, etc etc) is VERY MUCH controlled by 'community and masjid leaders' which is a direct representation of the class dynamics both on a commuity and on a national level.... the african american muslim community while still being just as much against abortion and gay marriages largely votes democratic... ma'salaam, fahd Afdhere Jama <[email protected]> wrote: wasalam, it should also be mentioned that the majority of muslims in the u.s. - like everywhere else - are 'public' conservatives. mark my words, when *gay marriage* becomes an issue of presidential debate, [muslim] folks will be voting for bush... afdhere --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
