a great series at Open Left by diarist dreaminonempty has been chronicling the future decline and fall of the Republican Party on the basis of demographic trends, ethnic and religious. The post on religious trends had a extensive section on how muslim voting trends, which have been much more volatile in response to policy than comparable groups like the African Americans or Jewish Americans. I take these results at City of Brass and re-open an old debate about whether there is/should be a “muslim vote” and whether it would necessarily be aligned with the political Left.

We are discussing this at Talk Islam, as usual…
