McCain’s pastor is Anti-American because he does not believe in freedom of religion. It is clear to as what he believes in.
McCain has not condemned his pastor’s words. Spread this to every American you know!

Thank God!
Thank you North Carolina!
Also, Obama’s campaign confirmed yesterday that it is setting up a joint fund-raising committee with the Democratic National Committee, an arrangement that allows donors to write one check to be divided between the candidate and the national party, which can use its share to help the candidate. The contribution limit is $28,500, compared to $2,300 for the general election for donations directly to a candidate.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the final decision maker in selecting either Obama or Clinton to be the Democratic Presidential candidate. This joint fundraising committee is usually set up for the nominee. John McCain has one with the Republican party. Clinton has nothing. Actually, Clinton is in debt due to her campaign spending.

That’s what I have to say about yesterday’s results.
Indiana voters on Tuesday elected a Muslim to Congress, only the second of that faith chosen in U.S. history.Andre Carson, grandson of the late Democrat Rep. Julia Carson, was elected to serve the balance of her term in the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election.
She died in December 2007, after serving 11 years in the heavily Democratic district.
The younger Carson, 33, a member of the Indianapolis City Council who converted to Islam about a decade ago, will serve out the remainder of his grandmother’s term through calendar 2008. He beat Republican Jon Elrod and a third party candidate with 52 percent of the vote to 44 percent for Elrod.
The first and only other Muslim member of the U.S. Congress is Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, also a Democrat, who is in his first term.
Alhamdulillah! This is very good news. I posted about Andre Carson a while back talking about how he might be the second Muslim in Congress. Well guess what! He was elected! Now we have two Muslims in Congress: Keith Ellison (at ISNA 2007) and Andre Carson. InshaAllah many more to come!
Shout out to Adam for letting me know.
Who really won Texas now Billary Clinton?
Clinton won the primary with 51 percent of the popular vote to Obama’s 48 percent. Those results earned her 65 delegates to Obama’s 61 delegates.
But wait! There is more:
The state Democratic Party estimates that Obama will come out ahead: 37 pledged delegated to Clinton’s 30 delegates. But the official tally of the Texas caucus won’t be ready for months.
So there you have it. Even if Clinton on the primary, she lost the Caucasus.

Barack Obama said:
As president of the United States, I will directly address the people of the Muslim world to make it clear that the United States is not at war with Islam, that our enemy is al-Qaeda and its tactical and ideological affiliates, and that our struggle is shared. In this speech, I will make it clear that the United States rejects torture — without equivocation, and will close Guantanamo. I will make it clear that the United States stands ready to support those who reject violence with closer security cooperation; an agenda of hope — backed by increased foreign assistance — to support justice, development and democracy in the Muslim world; and a new program of outreach to strengthen ties between the American people and people in Muslim countries. I will also make it clear that we will expect greater cooperation from Muslim countries; and that the United States will always stand for basic human rights — including the rights of women — and reject the scourge of anti-Semitism. Simply put, I will say that we are on the side of the aspirations of all peace-loving Muslims, and together we must build a new spirit of partnership to combat terrorists who threaten our common security.

Everyone in Ohio and Texas go and vote for Obama! If you live in Ohio, click here to find out where to vote. If you live in Texas, click here to find out where to vote.
If you know anyone in Texas or Ohio, make sure to tell them to vote for Obama on Tuesday March 4. Barack Obama continues to impress me with his words. Finally someone gets real with the current educational system and goes to the root of the problem: parenting. Parents need to turn off the TV! Start spending time with their children. This also goes to Muslim parents too. Muslim children are also facing the same issues as any other typical American child. They watch crappy television shows on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. Seriously, have you ever watched shows like Hannah Montana. It’s ridiculous! Children shows have gone far as accepting dating and homosexuality. They’ve also completely removed religion from it all. In fact, from watching TV with some of my nephews and nieces, I’ve seen they have less cartoons and more real-life drama shows for children. It’s like soap operas but for children.
What happened to the amazing cartoons when I was growing up like Duck Tales, Captain Planet, Tiny Toons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the original X-Men, the original Batman, Batman beyond, Animaniacs, Tales Spin, Pinky and the Brain, Rugrats, Inspector Gadget and the rest of the 90s/80s cartoons.
These videos brought back some great memories growing up:

If you live in Texas or Ohio, please vote on Tuesday March 4th, 2008!
Excellent speech by Barack Obama:
“I’ve seen how politics can be used to make us afraid of each other and how we turn on each other. How fear can cloud our judgement. And Suddenly we start scapegoating gay people or immigrants or people who don’t look like us or Muslims, because our own lives aren’t going well.”
InshaAllah he becomes the next president!
