They were once one of the most Republican friendly of minority groups. Funny how things change.
They might well be again should the Democrats nominate a Jewish veep again (or prez, obviously). Anybody have results from Dearborn when Senator Levin runs?

Uh, no.  Muslims voted 2-1 for Bush 1 in 1992, swung to Clinton by a similar margin in 1996, then back to the GOP in 2000 when Bush 2 openly embraced them.  American Muslims are, contrary to what the media would have one think, very conservative both socially and economically and therefore should be Republicans.  But any campaign that takes them for granted will lose them, and lose them by a lot.  You can read more about this in depth here.  But please don't suggest that Democrats will lose the Muslim vote on the virtue of them having a Jewish person on the ticket.

I realize that your knowledge of religion is very weak, but at least do some research before you want to make a totally ignorant statement like that again.
I merely suggested a scenario under which Muslims would return to the Republican fold. I didn't care to give their entire voting history because I felt that it was already strongly implied by the discussion. I'm also more than willing to go toe to toe on knowledge of religion with somebody who insists that the SBC is a cult. I think it would make for a hilarious conversation.
As it happens, I was raised under the dark cloud of religion, both in my childhood household and in the greater Bible Belt culture where I grew up and continue to live. Just for Inks and giggles, I even took a few religion classes in college. Like most atheists, I know more about religion, its principles, and the harm it causes in the real world than most people do. Certainly more than most religious people, who forge a belief system on faith, rather than pausing to think things through for themselves.

[There used to be words here pointing out one of several issues with the quoted post but] You know? I'm not even going to bother, and rather than just deleting this post, I'll use it to strongly advise Scott not to either.
