A coalition of Muslim Americans is seeking to drive a record turnout in the upcoming United States election with efforts to get as many members of their faith as possible to have their say when voters go to the polls.

The #MyMuslimVote campaign has supported Muslim Americans to register their vote, request a vote-by-mail ballot or find an in-person polling station.

It means members of the faith represent a small proportion of total voters in the US, with almost 137 million Americans casting their ballot in 2016. Christians still account for a vast majority of registered voters at 64 per cent, with some 28 per cent of voters identifying as religiously unaffiliated and five per cent following other faiths.

Youssef Chouhoud, an assistant professor at Christopher Newport University, said a sense of political “consciousness” has been growing among the group since the 2016 election. The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Robert McCaw said he believed the increasing strength of the Muslim American vote could have a real impact in those key “battleground states”.

Muslims suffered most under ISIS which was created with help by Obomba and Hiddening.. Millions of Muslims have had their homes destroyed and Biden will help make sure the dogs are let out again. There has new peace deals under Trump, not new wars

Omar for hijab !!!

Using democracy to get what they want and once they are in considerable no’s they will start acting against right of speech and expression.

الرئيس باركه الله

Isn’t it ironic they use democracy to build a power base but preach theocracy and removal of rights for women and non muslims. Change the rule of law to Sharia law.

Faild faith

Hopefully trump goes

Disgusting!
