Came across this article (10-6-08) on OneNewsNow by CHAD GROENING about Pro-Obama, Muslim-led voter registration in mosques. The question is of separation of church and state - much the same as was questioned about Obama and Rev Wright's church, which is still being investigated by the IRS. What's the chances of anything coming from it? The chances are even lower for this group campaigning at mosques because of the political atmosphere, which I'm sure is what they were counting on. Virginia, which may go blue for the first, time has a large population of Muslim-Americans. I believe second only to the Chicagoland area.
GROENING: A leading critic of Islam isn't surprised there has been virtually no coverage or action taken against a Muslim group that has been running an illegal "get out the vote" campaign in swing-state mosques.
The group, Muslim Americans for Obama [MAFO], insists that all of its voter registration activity is non-partisan, despite the fact that its mission statement says it was launched in August 2008 "to provide a vehicle for Muslim-American supporters of Barack Obama to organize and mobilize our fellow citizens to get out the vote to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States."
Continuing, the group's website states: "Although there is only a short period of time until the election..., there is much work to be done for supporters of Barack Obama's candidacy. [MAFO] was formed to offer a vehicle for Muslim-Americans to mobilize quickly and effectively so that our community turns out in great numbers for Barack Obama on Election Day."The "get out the vote" events are scheduled at mosques in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and Ohio.
Robert Spencer is director of Jihad Watch, a project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He argues MAFO may be skirting the law.
"When they are running these voter registration drives at mosques, really it's essentially illegal because they are clearly trying to get people to vote for Obama -- and that's in violation of their tax-exempt status," Spencer charges. "So this is a group that is crossing the line and ought to be disciplined as such."
The Jihad Watch leader, however, figures that is not likely to happen. "...I kind of doubt that they will be [disciplined], given the politically correct atmosphere nowadays," he says. "I wouldn't be the least surprised if no action is taken against them."
Remember the incident with Obama and his refusal to allow the Muslim women wearing the traditional hijabs to be seen on camera at his rally? And the McCain rally incident with the psycho with the bumperstickers? ACORN? Meanwhile this goes unreported. What is happening at barry's old church every week? How long will it take until all the associated campaign fraud of Obama's gets documented? He got 18M votes in the primaries as did Sen Clinton. How many of Clinton votes where "questionable" vs Obama? Which high-ranking barry operative will squeal first?
