Obama website riles Muslims
Some American-Muslim leaders say Barack Obama's website aimed at countering
rumors that he is a Muslim -- 
fightthesmears.com
 -- sends a negative message
about their religion.
Vanessa Alikhan was at a Democratic ''unity party'' when she overheard
another guest indignantly refute the rumor that Barack Obama is Muslim, as
if it were a racial slur. She later recounted the conversation to a friend.
''She told me that this is politics and that I should just deal with it,''
said Alikhan, a Fort Lauderdale graphic artist who converted to Islam about
five years ago. ``To me this is the same as telling an African American or a
Jewish person they should deal with discrimination because people aren't
ready to embrace them as a group.''
She and other American Muslims are speaking out, as the Obama campaign
pushes back on widely e-mailed and patently false claims that he is tied to
Islamic terrorists. The rumor could be particularly damaging in a must-win
state like Florida, which has a large Jewish population.
Determined not to be ''swift-boated'' the way 2004 nominee John Kerry was
buried by attacks on his military record, the Obama campaign has set up the
website 
www.fightthesmears.com
. While Muslim leaders understand the
campaign's responsibility to counter misinformation, they say the
classification of being Muslim as a ''smear'' goes too far.
Their outrage peaked when the Obama campaign asked two women wearing head
scarves to move away from the candidate -- and the television cameras -- at
a rally last month in Detroit. Obama personally apologized to the women, but
the incident reflected the difficulties of balancing hard-nosed political
calculations with the campaign's overall message of change and unity.
''The truth is Obama has both set the record straight about his religious
upbringing, background and faith -- and spoken out against efforts to
marginalize Muslims,'' said Obama campaign spokesman Josh Earnest.
`I'M NOT A MUSLIM'
He pointed to Obama's interview with CBS' 60 Minutes, in which he said, ``I
have never been a Muslim. I'm not a Muslim. These e-mails are obviously not
just offensive to me, somebody who is a devout Christian, who's been going
to the same church for the last 20 years, but it's also offensive to
Muslims, because it plays into, obviously, a certain fear-mongering there.''
But some Muslim leaders said Obama needs to do more to make it clear that he
welcomes their support in his campaign. Though he's spoken at many churches
and synagogues -- including a conservative congregation in Boca Raton -- he
has never visited a mosque, said Altaf Ali, executive director of the South
Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. There are
between 200,000 and 400,000 Muslims in Florida and about seven million
nationwide.
The Muslim community saw little outreach from presidential candidates until
2000, when Republican George Bush successfully enlisted Muslim donors and
included mosques in his proposal for government partnering with religious
institutions. But since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, many American
Muslims say they are treated with suspicion.
''Since 9/11, our community has been portrayed as inherently evil, and what
Obama is doing is adding to the negative stereotype,'' Ali said. ``His
message is about change, and he has to appeal to every minority group.''
That's a tall order for the first African-American presidential nominee as
he tries to broaden his appeal for the general election. Ali said that
Obama, who spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, the largest Muslim
country in the world, is uniquely suited ``to be a bridge between America
and the Muslim world.''
Saif Ishoof, president of the Center for Voter Advocacy, a nonpartisan group
that educates Muslims about the political process, said Republican John
McCain also needs to show more sensitivity.
Ishoof, a lifelong Republican, said he bristles when McCain consistently
refers to ``Islamic terrorists.''
''By using that phraseology, he is giving credence to a world view that 99
percent of Muslims do not consider their own,'' said Ishoof, an attorney who
runs a Miami engineering firm.
Though the Muslim community pales in comparison to other religious voting
blocs in Florida, Ishoof noted that it is concentrated in central Florida,
the battleground region of the state.
CRITICAL VOTE
Muslim voters could make the difference in several states crucial to winning
the White House, including Michigan, Ohio and Virginia.
''Every vote is going to be critical,'' Ishoof said.
Alikhan said she will continue to volunteer for the Obama campaign but vowed
that she will also try to educate voters about Islam. She described her
recent experience with anti-Muslim bias in an e-mail to about 1,500 friends
and Democratic activists.
The e-mail began ''Hello and Salaams'' and ended with, ``The photos are of
me and my husband so that you can see what a Muslim American looks like.''
They are an attractive, well-dressed couple in their 30s who look like they
belong in a South Beach club -- except that they heed their religion's
prohibition on drinking.
''I am an American, and I felt all of the pain that Americans felt for the
9/11 victims,'' Alikhan said. ``Yet I've had fingers pointed at me and been
asked the most ridiculous questions you can imagine. . . . I'm not asking
Obama to go to a mosque or call me on the phone, but I'd like to see him
show some more sensitivity.''
