"Bernie...he's not full of shit."

Thanks Dearborn, MI.

Always a plus.

We have neighbors who are Iraqi refugees; their youngest is the same age as my twins. Amazing people.

Always at the top of my list is those bona fides.

in the conflict. Add in the fact it was completely unnecessary and Hillary is comfortable with her decision making -- sigh.

And we have the names and addresses of the people responsible.

Bernie's stance on handling Daiesh, Islam's trolls, might have effected their votes by a large margin as well.

Still a beautiful thing.

but this is irrelevant here. Muslim and Christian Arabs united behind Sanders.

They honor Sanders with their vote and I, personally, greatly appreciate it.

thanks for posting! I figured Dearborn would go with Sanders rather than hawkish Hillary, but damn, that margin is pretty astounding. Thank you, Dearborn!

Much better than a picture of a stupid gun.


Peace

Among all religious groups. I don't know how accurate that is, but it's such an uplifting news!

the way that they've been demonized by the Right and the Republican party post 9/11.

Before 2001, Muslim Americans of varying national/ethnic origin were one of the most staunchly Republican demographics in the country.

Their RW hatred has tightened their circle

It is a demographic shift we are watching right now in our communities. And not just in our communities, actually, but across the board: wedge issues, for perhaps the first time, are no longer the major agenda item in the current primary cycle among a number of different voting blocs, but especially among younger people.

Incidentally, the argument could very easily be made that much of pre-2001 Muslim support for Republicans was largely an effort by a lot of FOB and first generation immigrants to demonstrate their "patriotism."

racism/bigotry after 9/11 changed things for many of the younger generation.

The more people know Hillary, the more she is distrusted.

Pretty impressive.

What does he know?

One of the great tragedies in Israeli politics was the assassination of Izaak Rabin by a right wing extremist.

Not only is this untrue, it will likely be used against him by those who aren't really pro-Israel, despite their claims, the Republicans. Don't let it start here.

Well done, Hillbro.

Arabs are all in for Bernie. You just need to get them to vote. The Arab voter turnout is higher than any other ethnicity and definitely higher than national average. You can do the same in IL, NJ, CA and NY where they can deliver a lot of votes.

My brother in Dearborn didn't want to vote, but I kept pushing him until he and his wife and her family went out and voted for Bernie.

Arabs in MI are not only in Dearborn. They are in Detroit, Dearborn Heights and other places. They might have given Bernie enough votes to minimize the effect of her lead among AA. 350K Arab live in MI.

Well stated

Welcome to the our revolution! We proved tonight that by banding together we can overcome the staggering advantages of the establishment candidate. We just have to keep focused and not believe their lies or the tricks they use to divide us. Thank you again for your STRONG support. We noticed and we appreciate it. And by the way that support you gave us goes back out to you. It's not a one way street. We have your back too!

And camera operators!

This is truly inspiring

Wondering About Dearborn. A decisive win. Thanks for posting.

We have to show the world how a pluralistic society can thrive without hate. Lets start today.

Which is what I hear from some of my fellow Jews when I express concern about the anti-Muslim hate mongering propagated by Trump and others like him.

I feel strongly that as Jews, given our own history of persecution, we ought to be the first to speak up against this kind of bigotry against any religious or ethnic group, regardless of any territorial or political disputes in other parts of the world. But sadly, some Jews don't see it that way, and they often make the excuse that Muslims are anti-Semitic. Putting aside the fact that that makes no sense semantically because technically Muslims are also Semites, I am glad to be armed with these pictures to help disprove that.

Voting for the person you think is the best choice, regardless of him being part of an ethnic group you're supposed to hate? To me, that's a big ol' buy-in to the principles of American democracy.

Yes I realize the cultural assimilation issue can be very, very real in some places. The fact that it seems to be far less of a problem here is something we can be proud of, though.

Why can't she win over Arab-Americans?

Thanks for the thread, kgnu_fan.
