Shadee Elmasry – American Muslims Need to Understand…

A lot of folks don't understand about American politics is that

when constituencies actually affect change and demonstrate that

they have power, that they're this swing gayest group in the

electorate, both parties will start to move in their direction.

The first term won't necessarily be a photocopy of the next term.

If we demonstrate that we had the impact that we hope we will, then

the Republicans will also move in our direction, and the Democrats

will experience a reckoning, remember, it's just four years,

the prophets struggled a huge number of events and suffering

again and again, torture, exile, experience of famine, loss of

family members at battle before he actually we entered into Mecca.

And so for years, under admittedly a distasteful character is still

part of the overall struggle.
