These questions are actual questions asked by some Muslims. Always respond to questions in your own words. Do not forward or distribute this document. more...
- Why Muslims should vote for Barack Obama?
Muslims are among the multitudes of Americans whose lives have worsened during the last eight years of Republican rule under George W. Bush. We've been seeking change, year after year, since 2002. Barack Obama presents an opportunity for us to bring this change about. more...
- How to talk to some skeptic American Muslims about Obama?
We have to admit, there are things Barack Obama says which causes American Muslims to cringe, to put it mildly. So here are a few ways to approach your Muslim friends and neighbors to convince them to vote for Barack Obama (or feel free to use these points for positive self-talk before casting your vote). more...
- What are Swing states and why they matter?
The presidential election results are determined by the Electoral College. The constitution allows each state to decide how its Electoral College votes will be distributed. All states, except Maine and Nebraska, use a winner-take-all approach. That means, if a Candidate wins California, he will have all 55 of California's Electoral College Votes. When candidates begin looking at how many voters in each state support them or oppose them, they can safely assume that certain states are going to vote for them. For example, although many people in Illinois will vote for John McCain this election, Barack Obama knows, through surveys, that the overwhelming majority of Illinoisans will vote for him. Illinois is therefore a “safe state” for Obama. On the other hand, southern states, such as Mississippi, despite getting some votes from Democrats, have a majority voting for Republicans, so Barak Obama can be pretty certain that he won't receive those states' Electoral Votes. Swing states are the states in the middle, where neither Republicans nor Democrats have a clear majority. Those state's votes matter the most to presidential candidates because winning the voters in the swing states could either give them a victory or a loss. more...

- Barack Obama and Joe Biden: Support for the Muslim American community
"You know, this [so-called 'Muslim smear'] is actually an insult against Muslim Americans, something that we don't spend a lot of time talking about. . . . You know, there are wonderful Muslim Americans all across the country who are doing wonderful things. And for this to be used as sort of an insult or to raise suspicions about me I think is unfortunate. And it's not what America is all about." [Barack Obama, 07/15/08] more...
- Barack Obama and the Arab American community
Obama will make achieving progress on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the consolidation of democracy in Lebanon, and other Middle East issues key diplomatic priorities. From the beginning of his presidency, he will make a sustained, concerted effort – working with Israelis and Palestinians – to achieve the goal of two states living side by side in peace and security. Obama will restore America's standing in the world by respecting civil liberties, ending torture, restoring habeas corpus, and closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. more...
