Overcoming Islamophobia in US elections

Newark, Delaware - Islam has become an important part of American discourse leading up to the 2012 federal elections and candidates everywhere appear eager to take a position on Islam for political gain. Across the country, rising Islamophobia has made it difficult for some Muslims to build mosques and practice their faith, although their right to do so is enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
In the current race for the presidential nomination, some presidential candidates are invoking Islam and Muslims in a negative fashion in an attempt to bolster their popularity with populations they perceive to be suspicious of Muslims or Islam. For example, if elected, former presidential candidate Herman Cain promised not to appoint Muslims to his cabinet.
Les musulmans sont les juifs d’aujourd’hui. Le succès de Marine Le Pen aujourd’hui repose sur la certitude de son islamophobie. Elle sera au premier tour de l’élection, j’en suis certain. De la même manière que la montée d’Adolf Hitler n’a pas été contrecarrée parce que le monde entier de l’époque était antisémite, l’islamophobie actuelle est aussi mondiale et un argument pour toute élection.
