I belive that not voting is a serious injustice! Our govenrment missuses the power that the people elect them to and the tax dollars we give them. They use thiese things AGAINST muslims!! When you refuse to vote you are allowing your tax dollars to go to israel WITHOUT A FIGHT!!! When you refuse to vote you allow the evangelical christian/republican DICTATORS to continue theire war with islam at home and abroad.
You stand here and cry JIhad jihad! but when your ENEMY throws you a weapon ...that you could use AGAINST them, you stand there and do nothing. There is no Caliph unfortunatly, no Islamic state to stand up against the injustice going on. I will use my vote. I will use it for the sake of allah, I will use it with the hopes that it could benifit the Ummah. I will use my vote with the intention of making a strike against one who's allied with sworn enemies of allah!
There is no muslim country to flee to. I've heard stories of several coutries that persecute religious muslims. Look, there's a lot of bad in America but there is a lot of good. A brother can have a beard, can go to the masjid 5 times a day every day and he has the government protected right to do so. A sister can wear niqab or hijab pretty much anywhere as far as I know. There are countries that are muslim majority that DONT allow this!!!
God bless America land that I love...stand beside her and GUIDE her...Ameen.

With all due respect brother AbdulHamid, you have to put aside the candidate's knowledge and use of effective oratory. Sure, Obama knows how to move people with his words, unlike our current president (although I due enjoy listening to his bushisms). Both of the presidential candidates are hypocrites who have changed their views on several issues during their presidential campaign. They will take whatever chances they can get to help themselves get an advantage over the other, you can see this as they back stab eachother during their debates, you can also see this in McCain's decision to choose Palin as his vice president.Last but not least...not voting IS a form of political participation.
