Arabs and Iranians Root For the Democrats Again
The Muslims of America need to get organized and make sure they get out to vote for Democrats for both the House and the Senate.
Every Muslim in the Middle East who has a relative in the U.S. should get the message across to their relatives."
— Skip Conover, host on Muslim-American Bridges TV, Arab News, October 19
As the November 7 midterm elections approach, Iranian and Arab officials and journalists are hoping the Democrats will win control of the House and Senate.
It should be noted that before the 2004 elections, they also overwhelmingly predicted and rooted for a Democratic victory:
• "I would like to appeal to you, Muslim citizens and voters of America … cast your vote against Bush … in the name of Islam," a former prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, said.
• "We advise the American people … do not vote for Bush and his ilk," Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli of Iran said.
• "Arab-Americans should rethink their alliance with Bush," an Arab-Israeli member of the Knesset, Azmi Bishara, said.

"Arabs" and "Muslims" are not the same people.
The Arab Muslim, as a type, is the complete antithesis of the Arab in the state of jahilliya, to whom lineage and tribe were the be-all and end-all of his sense of worth
Arabs are people who speak Arabic as a native language and identify themselves as Arabs; Muslims are those who practice the religion of Islam.
Many Arabs are not Muslims, and not all Muslims are Arabs. More than a billion people in the world are Muslims, but fewer than 15 percent of Muslims worldwide are Arabs. The majority of Muslims live outside the Middle East, in places like Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, India, and Pakistan.
