Pro-Obama, Muslim-led voter registration in mosques Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 10/6/2008 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."
