The Voting Issue

The only way to build a better America is to call the people to Islam. Whoever becomes POTUS is NOT going to do that, but will legislate things that are haram and will support Israel in the oppression of Palestine. None of the Muslims who supported Bush have ever told me what he has done for Islam and the Muslims. You know why? because they can't! The same will apply this time around.

IM not voting in the Kafir elections tommoroow.it doe NOT matter who is president the unelected board of the Central bank(formerly called federal reserve)  are the ones who control this country with their system of enslaving Riba

Hamza Yousef Is a good Scholar of Islam. Problem with so called salafi group is that who ever doesn't agree with their way of thinking then that person becomes a deviant. Living in this country, we Muslims should take part in politics. Look at the Jewish community, they are all united but the muslims are still fighting over who is salafi and who is sufi and so on and on..... Scholars in Makkah gave a fatwah that living in a non muslim country, it is OK to vote for a non muslim person. With all due respect Niqabimommy if you don't like this non muslim country with full of nonmuslims around you then please migrate to a so called muslim country where you won't be allowed to drive even.

wanted thinkers, movers and shakers. America is a good country full of many good people; Islam is RIGHT for this country.

To many Muslims have this “us vs them” mentality.

Historically in the USA many groups that felt under-represented (Irish, Catholics, Jews, Blacks) followed the American political model (to varying degrees) to get that "voice" that was lacking when they were a minority. Example? Look how well Israel turned out! My point is that the motto here in the US should be "love it or change it." Become a force for change. Get involved. Promote and support Muslim politicians. Be a part of the process and not one of the tens of millions who just watches the American political process go by. These are just suggestions, by the way, and not criticism. We do know that Muhammad (pbuh) wan

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I think that you have many valid points and indeed many Americans feel exactly the same way you do despite not being Muslim. For a long time Americans have felt that elections are really just about voting for the "lesser evil." It is your right, and indeed your duty as a citizen to vote. Now remember that "duty" does not mean that you will be forced, it is just a”social expectation.” If you are questioning whether you should participate in American politics at all perhaps try listening to what Sheik Hamza Yusuf says in his lectures about the obligation of young Muslims to weave themselves into the fabric of American life; especially if they were not

Salaamu Alaikum! This issue should be a dead issue. If a muslim believes that we as Muslims actually believe that we have a legitimate voice in this society then they are sadly mistaken! There have been too many comments by politicians and regular people alike that this is a judeao-christian society and the Muslims as a whole have no to very little say so unless we compromise our religious beliefs!!!!!

is it muslims have a problems with voting in presidential elections? or  they have prob with voting on other stuff on the ballot, like how the state money should be used or certain things should be illegal like gay marriage--- would you guys have a prob voting on those too ?
