who will it be?

Date: October 20, 2004 | 6 Ramadan 1425 Hijriah
According to the news release sent out by CAIR, the American Muslim Taskforce (the umbrella political group) will be announcing its presidential endorsement tomorrow:

NATIONAL MUSLIM PAC TO ANNOUNCE PRESIDENTIAL ENDORSEMENT WHAT: On Thursday, October 21, the American Muslim Task Force Political Action Committee (AMT-PAC) will hold a news conference in Washington, D.C., to announce its decision about endorsement of a presidential candidate.

AMT-PAC is an affiliated political action committee of the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT). AMT is an umbrella organization representing American Muslim Alliance (AMA), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim Alliance of North America (MANA), Muslim American Society (MAS), Muslim Ummah of North America (MUNA), Muslim Student Association (MSA), Project Islamic Hope (PIH), and United Muslims of America (UMA). SEE: http://www.americanmuslimvoter.net/

Muslims are a potential swing-voting bloc in key battleground states such as Ohio and Florida.

WHEN: Thursday, October 21, 10 a.m. (Eastern)

WHERE: National Press Club, Zenger Room, 529 14th Street, NW, Washington D.C.
Given that every poll of American Muslims shows overwhelming support for Kerry, and that even Nader gets more support than Bush does, not to mention the number of news articles in recent months about this phenomenon, there shouldn't be any suspense about this at all: the endorsement had better be for Kerry. Otherwise, the AMT doesn't represent the views of the Muslim community and its endorsement is meaningless. So I'm assuming that they're trying to make it suspenseful in order to make sure that people pay attention.

We'll see tomorrow, inshallah.
