The prospect of big money being spent abroad could buy some crucial
votes for Kerry here in the U.S.

It wasn't front-page news, but John Kerry got some significant backing
recently. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported that
54 percent of eligible Muslim voters said they would vote for Kerry,
while 26 percent favored Nader. The survey results were covered by
CNSNews.com, UPI wire service, and newspapers as far away as India. But
the major media in the U.S. did not report the results, perhaps because
they are potentially embarrassing to Kerry.

Fifty-five percent of these respondents said they voted for President
Bush in the 2000 election. So why have they bailed on Bush? Why do they
dislike Bush after liberating Afghanistan and Iraq? It would appear that
these American Muslims do not appreciate a U.S. foreign policy of
freedom and democracy in the Middle East. Speakers at the CAIR event to
release the survey included Nader himself, former Iraq Chief of Mission
Edward Peck, as well as representatives from the Muslim Public Affairs
Council and the Council for the National Interest.

Kari Huss of MSNBC did a fascinating story on anti-Bush sentiment in the
Arab-American community. Referring to CAIR's voter registration
campaign, she reported, "To the extent that the get-out-the-Muslim-vote
effort succeeds, it will largely benefit the Democrats because it is
energized by anger over the Bush administration's Patriot Act and what
is perceived as an anti-Muslim bias behind the Iraq war and
Israeli-Palestinian policy."

In April, [ARAB] pollster John Zogby noted that a survey of
Arab-American voters in four critical statesÑFlorida, Michigan, Ohio and
PennsylvaniaÑfound that only 30 percent approved of Bush's job
performance. The same figure would vote for Bush for president, with
Kerry getting 49 percent of the Arab-American vote.

Writing in the Dallas Morning News, William McKenzie said that his
discussions with local Muslims found that, "It doesn't matter that the
president has gone out of his way to say the war against terror is not a
fight against Islam. The battle against terrorism feels that way to this
group." He added, "After an hour of listening, it was no surprise to
learn very few of these registered voters plan to support the President.
The administration could dismiss this as an unscientific group. But
their preferences track an April [ARAB] Zogby poll in the four states
with the greatest Muslim populations."

In a pitch for Muslim votes, it is reported that a draft of the
Democratic Party platform, to be presented at the party's convention,
calls for the development of a new American strategy for "public
diplomacy" in the Arab and Muslim worlds to alleviate distrust of
America. Congressional Democrats backing Kerry have released a 90-page
document that includes a "Marshall Plan" for the Middle East "to create
a middle class and a regional common market," a $10 billion "global
alliance for improving education for Arab children," and a $200 billion
"Renaissance Partnership" for the Arabs in the Middle East. The U.S.
would put up $100 billion for this. The prospect of big money being
spent abroad could buy some crucial votes for Kerry here in the U.S.
