“Mossad spinoff”
You just made my day.
Hey–maybe the Mossad will find a cure for autism!
I hate to play the role of a third rate Bernard Lewis—but what has the Arab world accomplished in the last 400-500 years? And some people wonder why Osama bin Ladin is enraged at the modern world?
Speaking of the Arab world, the Zogby organization has sent me this e-mail:
“American Muslim voters are overwhelmingly supporting Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush, according to a new American Muslim Poll conducted by Zogby International for Georgetown
University’s Muslims in the American Public Square (Project MAPS).By a margin of 76% to 7%, Muslims back the Kerry/Edwards ticket over the incumbent Bush/Cheney ticket. This is a stark reversal of fortunesfrom the 2000 election for Mr. Bush. The poll consisted of a telephone survey of 1,700 Muslims, and an over sample of 146 face-to-face interviews of African-American Muslims. The margin of error is +/-2.3
percentage points.
“This contrasts sharply with the 2000 election, when Mr. Bush garnered 42% of the Muslim vote versus 31% for Democrat Al Gore,” said Dr. Zahid Bukhari, director of Project MAPS.† Zogby International and Project MAPS conducted the first American Muslim Poll in November 2001 with a margin of error of +/-2.4%.”
David, Did Muslims traditionally favor the Dems before 2000? I.e. did the 2000 voters really like Bush at the time, or were they possibly rejecting a Jewish VP candidate for the Dems? Any baselines?

I am not a paid subscriber to Zoby. They only send me the incomplete free stuff. I suspect, though, that the Republicans benefited from the fact that Jewish Americans usually favor the Democrats. Needless to add, Joseph Lieberman did not thrill the Arabs. There were admittedly also remnants of the Pat Buchanan mindset. They went out of their way to suck up to the Arab-American community. Sad, but true.
Bush gains on Kerry for Arab-American vote. And this article is on a left-wing site.
