Candidates Seek Support from Muslim Community
posted 10:13 am Sun August 26, 2007 - RESTON, Va.
The seventh annual "civic picnic" was organized by area mosques to encourage area Muslims to get more involved in local politics.
More than 56,000 Muslims are registered to vote in Northern Virginia, and last year, more than eight in 10 turned out to vote.
A survey of Muslim registered voters last month by the Virginia Muslim Political Action Committee found that 95 percent were concerned about anti-illegal immigrant legislation at the county and state levels.

Another example of political correctness. Candidates should cater to everyone, not just muslims...every day that goes by this country becomes the laughingstock of the world more and more.
