Muslim delegates at DNC quadrupled since 2004

The number of Muslim delegates attending the Democratic National Convention has quadrupled since 2004, according to a Muslim advocacy group.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations counts more than 100 Muslim delegates representing some 20 states at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., this week. That's up from 25 delegates in 2004, according to CAIR.

CAIR government affairs coordinator Robert McCaw said the numbers were ”a sign of the American Muslim community’s growing civic engagement and acceptance in the Democratic Party.” He also said that Democrats had targeted outreach to American Muslims.

A “handful” of Muslims were delegates at the Republic National Convention last week in Tampa, Fla., McGraw said. Campaign officials for Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama's GOP challenger, did not respond to a request for comment.

    Sorry cultist Esther….I am part of the group and Lizzy is another and we adore Dr. Saul Alinsky. Many of us have studied with him. Have you ever read any of his books, been to his lectures or anything else other than to parrot his name.
    You, unfortunately, a drunken schizophrenic, that person JS is just another Manson.
    Are you wearing clean or dirty magikal underwear today?
    We were showing some of the lovely garments to our students. What a bunch of nuts you are and you give 10% to this pile of junk you worship.
    Next try Scientology just another version not even a philosophy.
    You are so brain washed you can't answer a straight question from a Christian who would indeed, give you an answer as to his beliefs or practices. All that you people do you practice in the dark. The hidden dirty places infested with plagues and death everlasting.
    Now go get your little white rob and let your bishop have his way with you.
    - Esther
      
      Knowing Alinsky's progeny like you and Hil Clinton is enough for me, to decide what a throw-back you are to the worst scum the 20th century had to offer.

There are probably two reasons for this:
1. There are more muslims in the US now. This is very sad. There are probably two reasons for this:
a. The Church is not doing its job of evangelizing.
b. The US immigration service is not doing its job well.
2. The democrat party is opening the door to our enemies. It's shocking how many self-confessed muslims are in the current administration. One really does have to consider the possibility that the president is a muslim.
- Bar-Eliam
  
  Muslims have been here as long as you have had a constitution.
  - http://www.answersingenesis.org/ keyboardshark
    
    A tiny minority, perhaps. Had Muslims been the majority rather than Christians, we would not even have a Constitution.

  Well said, John. While it may upset some or draw derisive laughs from others, what you say is unfortunately true.

  Funny, just too funny. Is he speaking to you from his grave?

The few times I have watched the DNC, I have seen plenty of them in their garb. Of course, they are there because -0 gave them a special place to worship and have meetings. However, the Christian God was taken out of their platform and if one really watched the vote to put God and the Capitol of Jerusalem back into the DNC (out of pressure) one would hear the nays louder than the yays all three times. So the leaders of this fiasco said it was passed by 2/3 vote — did they have a measuring tool?
- Bar-Eliam
  
  It is irrelevant. The platforms of both parties are meaningless and never followed. Had they been your would have had Bachmann as your choice.
  - mallen11
    
    You are absolutely wrong; she was not my choice, ever, nor was Romney but I do know that demoRats hate the Jews and Israel. They too have been duped to vote with the Rats just like the black community. How sad.
  - Esther
    
    Are you from the Obama camp?
- Bar-Eliam
  
  You are a lying piece of dreck. My group has monitored the DNC from beginning to the near end and we have not seen one brother or sister in any sort of garb. We have seen a bunch white faced bo, boseizne wearing pig faces. Now that is what I call being true to ones self.
  - Esther
    
    Your group is obviously monitoring American. Are you from the Obama camp?
    - Bar-Eliam
      
      I am surprised you have so much time to devote to us. Are your magikal underwear dirty yet or do you ever wash them. Bet you belong to the Utah beehives. You even eat seagulls..raw!
      - Esther
        
        You won't win. I am not the sole person cognizant of your idiocy.

    Apparently you were not watching the same news channel I was watching. I feel sorry for people who cannot accept the truth about the demoRats.

Muslims are aware which party has the weakest, most malleable minds – those easily swayed.
- Bar-Eliam
  
  Muslims are those who are interested in providing for their communities and creating an even playing field for all.
  Making a better life for those who have less than you can only lift your up! Those of you who think you know Muslims know nothing of this one of the so-called three great religions of monotheism.
  Since there is a great and singular base for all three religions it is amazing that those outside them can not understand their practices. Virtually not one person here has read the Quran or visited a Mosque. You repeat only what you have heard and haven't one idea of the many practices of Islam.
  It is you who are the losers you also don't understand the Jewish practices nor Christians who practice as a different sect than your selves.
  Try learning the truth about others you have learned to hate. Perhaps you could learn to appreciated the varieties found in the US.

    I do not hate Muslims, I despise Islam-it is NOT a religion; why is it all we read from Europe is mayhem and murder provoked and executed by Muslims but you never hear of an Islamist Arny going anywhere and stop the murdering of Christians/Jew and even other Muslims?. Why do we hear of the horrers of Sharia law? Why are Muslims going around the US suing the NY Police Department about the way they traiin their police for doing their job and training the police in counter-terrorism; the same thing is occurring all over the state of Florida.
    Why is everything we have, do, say, the way Americans act ad infinitum against your religion. Why are you ruining Western Europe, Australia, Scandanavia? Why do they all want you out of their countries but it's their foolish politicians who are so liberal who fail to see the error of their ways and will until it's too late. Why do you not integrate with the host countries but rather bring your culture with you and insist we all oblige you? Please do not short suit me on my knowledge of Islam and the role they have played and are playing in regard to world conditions .

      You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. GFY!

        Typical muslim/islamic response when you don't know where to go or how to answer questions – you all are the same. What do you think you are contributing to the US that we didn't have before you came? You cry to our politicians that we don't understand you, don't know you – what do you offer; you expect Americans to lie down and allow you to walk all over us…I think not….. – you personally are rude, crude and socailly unattractive……endearing qualities….

      Bar-Eliam is too delusional to know the truth and has buried himself in the sewer of lies that actually smell good to him. He is to be pitied as well as to be prayed for.
      
      When a nation’s leader’s lie (demoRats) and the people believe those lies we become a nation of liars. Rules of integrity do not apply to them. Lying is destructive to a nation. We don’t need leaders who are liars; vote them out. Arrogance and narcissist leaders think others are beneath them. Vote them out!
      
      Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise
      wisdom and instruction.
      
      Proverbs 17:4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips; A liar pays attention to a
      destructive tongue.
      
      Prov 13:20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools
      will suffer harm.

Wow 100 Muslims were present! All credentialed members and reps. Just imagine that overflow number of people. There were approximately 326 Shintoists! 231 Buddhists! 23 Quakers!,
19 Amish! 23 Baha'i! There were also Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Church of Christ, Unity Church, 94 LDS, 226 SDA, and over 2000 Episcopalians.
Now should all of those people be questioned as to why they were there ? Since over half the muslims attending are 3rd generation members of the Democratic Party should they be thrown out.
Be very careful there are several world famous doctors in their numbers. Some are famous Cardiologist and Neurologists and the directors of their departments in well known medical schools.
How strange you have such hate against those you don't even know…but then…as we have heard you people just love to hate those unlike yourselves.
You all deserve each other.
- http://www.answersingenesis.org/ keyboardshark
  
  Hmmm, let's see. It's Muslims who are commanded by the Koran to kill the infidels (anyone who does not convert to Islam) yet you claim it is non-Muslims who "love to hate those unlike yourself". Something's wrong with this picture…

Why should this be a sruprise to anyone , DEMONRATS are DEMONRATS , it matters not what they call themselves , democrats , muslims , progressives , liberals , communists , socialists , fascists , athiests , secularists , SATANS minions carry many names and they are irrelevent , their goals are the same , destroy humanity for SATAN , and at this time , the greatest defender of both GOD and humanity is the United STates , therefore it MUST be destroyed .

  You are right and I pray more people will wake up to the destruction of Satan before it is too late.

There is an agenda for Muslims to get involved in politics to influence decisions conducive to implement Shara law in Ameica. Do not be surprised if they grow in the Republican party as well. That said: the Democrats and in particular the Obama administration and in particular he present a Muslim-friendly environment for them to grow even faster.

Bull! Obama has opened the door to allowing more radicals in to help bring America down. How can we trust Muslims! They do not understand our Constitution, our God, nor our bible. They are 180 degrees from our beliefs. Obama is an impostor. He is the enemy within who is holding open the door for "fundamental change". We are in big trouble if we don't get him out.
- Bar-Eliam
  
  You are in big trouble because you lack the education and ability to discern.
  The enemy within is within you!

The purpose of a Muslim is to take over the world with Islam and spread Sharia Law. We cannot trust any of them.
- Bar-Eliam
  
  There is no such thing as the purpose of a Muslim. A Muslim does not have a an act to perform it is a belief.
  A Muslim is a member of Islam one of the THREE GREAT MONOTHEASTIC RELIGIONS of this world.
  Do you hate Jews with the same fervor?

It is quite
obvious that muslims are infiltrating the US to attack the US again. It is part
of the Koran and it is the only reason they come to the US.
- Bar-Eliam
  
  Muslims come to this country for the very same reason others come here. They do not infiltrate they come here with real papers. Are you aware Muslims have been a part of this country since its inception?
  Stop creating hate and suspicion where non is warranted.
  Take care of your own life first…in fact…get a life.
