I don't see a worthy third party to vote for either. Maybe we need to create our own party to show Americans what values Muslims represent.

Ask yourself did the holy prophet pbuh support abortion. also what was said about people who have knowledge of islam and reject the islam. you could logically make the argument that obama was a muslim at one time and now he is a christian. what does the sunnah and quaran say the penalty is for that? do you really think obama is gonna wave his arms and get the soldiers out of iraq? also one last thing 75,000,000 muslims are free because of president bush.

Its like this: You see a kid drowning in a river (the kid represents the Iraqi people and the water the possibility of a horrible Government/A horrible Government). You (you represent the United state of America) jump into the river to save the kid...so you got the kid out of the deep water, now what? do you let him go even if he is in there river still? hes ok the deep part is over there? or do you take him all the way to shore? The answer is obvious, you don't want to risk the kid drowning again and having to go in there AGAIN to save him...(IE; George HW Bush, who invaded Iraq and followed the popular vote and ultimately got nothing done) If many of you haven't noticed most countries the US has invaded within the last century(and won) are strong countries. Japan and Germany for example, and even to a lesser degree the Philippines and Vietnam (whom is blooming into a mini-China). Iraq is a rich country now, and if they are smart with their money (Hint hint: smash a good part of it in Universities and make a Harvard out of a few Iraqi universities) improve the standard of living and they could be a 1st world country like Japan. IT is ultimately up to the Iraqi people, whether they have guts to stand up to their own 'fellow Muslims'. We must sacrifice sometimes to gain a chance for the greater good. McCain is not going to send troops to Iraq to blow up random people because they're Muslim. The people he wants dead ARE MUSLIM, which puts a bad reputation on us all. These people he wants dead are crazy and if you consider them a 'brother' or 'sister' thinking that blowing up Christians, Jews, and who ever isn't Muslim (or as a matter of fact their own sect. of Islam) is good. then I'm sorry you got problems. IT may not seem like it now but Iraq is getting better, you must remember before the invasion was Iraq really a stronghold of peace with dancing flowers and happy people? NO! I've seen pictures of Iraqi civilians kissing pictures of Bush (it doesn't please me either) but Iraq is something I decided to support because a strong Muslim country would help the Islamic community GREATLY... and Saudi Arabia doesn't count, Jordon also looks promising though :). What is more so Bush is not against Muslims, many of you have forgotten our Brethren North of Greece. hmm??? the Albanians a predominantly Muslim group, we supported them against CHIRSTIANS (hmm...odd...you thought Bush was all abut Christians huh?) and now look Kosovo a ALBANIAN majority country has its independence. And our Brethren in China? who are discriminated against by CHINESE and our Central Asian brethren who are getting ready to be trampled by the RUSSIANS. Bush(as much as I dislike him) speaks for the forgotten Muslim victims the once who have been victimized by our OWN fellow Muslims. I want a job well done in Iraq not "let pull out ASAP", they started it they must finish it. Lastly, Many of you have forgotten Red Russia is rising once again the Godless communist have returned, and Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Ba'hai etc. is better then a godless communist. Barrack doesn't know what to do... he wants 'forceful diplomacy' which is what?... "oh mr. Putin sir I'm really unhappy with your invasion of Georgia (or any former Soviet Republic which like HALF are predominantly Muslim)" Putin doesn't care, Putin will run Barrack over. He is a pretty face... McCain hates Putin and we can feel more secure about out country knowing that McCain will press the Red button if need be and not whine to the useless UN and Putin on how unhappy he is. Many have forgotten this is more then Iraq, Russia invaded Afghanistan and turned them into GODLESS communists, another predominately Muslim country. The Discriminate against Muslims a good example is the Chechens, another predominantly Muslim group whom the US supported. McCain is by no means killing Muslims, i frankly think the opposite. The Republican party is serving Muslims around the world better even if they don;t realize it. McCain is less of a threat to muslims then Russia, there is more Brethren getting Killed each day in Sudan, China, Russia, former Yugoslavia, Kashmirthen Iraq. Yet we choose to whine about Iraq while the US is supporting the majority of Muslims around the world... how Hypocritical I have to say to you brothers and Sisters, open your eyes.
