M.A. Conflict Resolution, Eastern Mennonite University, Fulbright Scholar
B.S. Economics, American University of Beirut
The 2008 US elections show a new trend emerging in the American Muslim population. 70% of American Muslim voters voted for George Bush in 2000 and associated themselves with the Republican party's socially-conservative values. More than 63% of the American Muslim community are now registered Democrats for the upcoming 2008 presidential elections. The American Muslim community is breaking away from its conservative ties to side with the Obama campaign on economic and foreign policy matters that they consider their number one priority during this election year
