Most Asians, particularly Muslims living in America, want George Walker
Bush voted out of office in next month's US presidential election.
According to survey reports published this week as many as 70 per cent
of the registered Muslim voters may vote for the Democratic
presidential candidate John Kerry. These surveys said that the support
for Kerry stems from a general dislike for President George W. Bush in
America's Muslim community. Many Muslims blame Bush for making policy
decisions that have made life difficult for them in America. Most of
them are upset with the Patriot Act that they say has made it difficult
for Muslims to come to America, as students or immigrants. Bush
administration's policies, they say, also have forced thousands of
Muslims to relocate, forcing some to seek asylum in Canada while others
had to return to their home countries. Many among them complain that
Bush's war against terror is actually a war against Islam and that the
Bush administration has no regard for their faith or their community. [more ]
