    Muslim Americans for Obama ’08,” proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time off for prayer

    Man that is so r-a-d-i-c-a-l.

    Next thread up ... Why did radical Christians force mainstream Americans to endure two terms of W's incompetence? ... Because naturally they HATE America!!!

    this is the very logic you used to start this thread.

    you went and got your panties all in a wad about what "radical muslims" want and started a thread about it. how come you care so much about what "radical muslims" think, but not al-qaeda?

    why the double standard?

    Let's not have selective tunnel vision syndrome...This is a common liberal disease though...Please seek professional help.

    ...further:....
    Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take an hour off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
    Make the 2 Eid’s recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
    Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)

    Military Donors Back Ron Paul & Obama

    February 04, 2008 3:19 PM

    The Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign cash, looks at the 2007 money-raising and finds the following:

    In 2007, the 2008 presidential candidates raised $582.5 million and spent $481.2 million.

    In the 4th quarter of 2007, individuals in the Army, Navy and Air Force made those branches of the armed services the No. 13, No. 18 and No. 21, contributing industries, respectively. War opponent Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, received the most from donors in the military, collecting at least $212,000 from them. Another war opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, was second with about $94,000.

    Soldiers love Ron and Barack
    , and lobbyists love Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, the No. 1 recipient of lobbyist cash, receiving $823,000 in 2007 from the lobbying industry, which gave about $2.7 million overall.

    Lawyers and law firms have contributed more than any other industry, giving $46.6 million. Democrats got 77 percent of that, with Clinton the top recipient.

    Youth vote, shmooth vote, Obama has raised more from retired individuals -- the second biggest donor group -- than any other remaining candidate.

    The securities and investment industry, in third place, gave nearly $28.7 million, 56 percent to Democrats, Clinton the top recipient.

    Wow, Major can supply links for his facts. Interesting technique.

    ROXRAN, I tend to have very high tolerance and even respect for your posts, but this seems like a new low.

    This thread is more a statement on you than Obama, I fear. Is this really about Obama's handgun policy or something? Why are you having this irrational, emotional reaction against the guy?

    ... and all of this propaganda from the wacko religious right who want to mandate daily CHRISTIAN prayer is ALL public schools.

    Both mandatory school prayer and forcing employers to accommodate Jummah are UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

    We found out about Al Qaeda wanting the U.S. to stay in Iraq, not from their word, but from actual captured internal memos between Al Qaeda leadership. Those memos were not meant as public PR statements.

    Apparently I'm not the one that's clueless.

    Al Qaeda is using more than just talk. They are using bombs, threats, money, human lives etc.

    Considering the value they put on human lives, it is so much cheaper next to monetary liquidity...

    ive heard this before...you listen to michael savage, dont you?

    do you know anything about that guy?

    first off, his real name is michael weiner. i suppose WEINER NATION doesnt carry the same weight as SAVAGE NATION so i cant really fault him for that one.

    second - he is a total hippie liberal. lives in san fran - he has a phd in botany for gods sake. writes all these hippie books about nutrition and herbalism. used to hang out with all the beat writers and l.s.d. guru timothy leary - went nude sunbathing with people like allen ginsburg (whom he also allegedly had an affair with).

    ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE WEINER NATION?

    so basically the troops are supporting the candidate who is the most vocal about wanting to bring them all home a.s.a.p.?

    that should tell everyone all they need to know about how the troops feel about the war(s).

    im waiting for the bush supporters to tell us that the troops hate the troops and want the troops to lose!

    I didn't know that the 466 military donars represent the "troops",...I realize 466 is a lot of folks, but so is 413, or even 140...What about them?

    Look I realize that out of the thousands, there can be 466 military folks who have contributed this money and misinformed. It happens...but to say 466 out of thousands represents a true indicator of collective ideology is wrong, wrong, and wrong...come again.
