Sorry if this has been posted already (it probably has), but it made me smile. It's sarcastic and smarmy in concept directed at the Juan Williams kerfuffle, but the overall execution and the tone is so good natured. Some of these people were very surprising to me (Richard Thompson, Dr. Oz) and I wonder if it all is accurate.

1. No it`s not all accurate.

It seems like they consider anyone, who is originally from a muslim populated country, a muslim. Dr. Oz is from Turkey but I doubt that he is a muslim. he is actually a republican and I have never seen a republican muslim.

Apart from that I don`t get the point of this post or the blog itself.

2. Actually

It is discussed in here.

And the point is that contra Juan Williams and the republican tea bag crowd, people of Muslim faith wear many different things and make many different contributions to society and culture and his assertions that their "garb" scares him or makes him nervous is patently ridiculous. It's pointing out how ridiculous he was for saying so.

Interesting.

4. Most Muslims were republicans and Bush won the Muslim vote in 2000, it was because

of this warm on terrorism and racial profiling and all the crap Bush did that Muslims have started to vote Dem.

but many are still social conservatives at least.
