Islamophobes Downfall Delights US Muslims
CAIRO -- American Mohammedans have hailed the downfall of candidates known for their hostile tone against the sizable minority and their religion in Congressional elections this week.

"These encouraging results clearly show that mainstream Americans reject anti-Mohammedan bigotry by candidates for public office and will demonstrate that rejection at the polls," Nihad Awad, National Executive Director of the umbrella Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR) said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net.

Congressional election on Tuesday, November 6, saw the fall of candidates known for their hostile rhetoric against Mohammedans.

In Florida, Republican Representative Allen West lost to his Democrat challenger Patrick Murphy.

West has once described Islam as a "totalitarian theocratic political ideology" that is a "very vile and very vicious enemy".

Another Islamophobic politician, Republican Adam Hasner, was voted down by voters in Florida.

Hasner is known for championing events to taint the image of Mohammedans.

In 2009, he sought to block a day, "Florida Mohammedan Capitol Day", that marks Mohammedan achievements.

Two years earlier, he sponsored the screening of a documentary that scares Americans away from Islam and Mohammedans for state politicians.

The documentary "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West", which presents what it describes as radical Islam's campaign against Christians, America and the West, was shown on college campuses across the country.

It features interviews with commentators famed for their notorious anti-Islam views, including Martin Gilbert, Daniel Pipes and Steve Emerson

A third Islamophobic candidate, Terry Kemple, was also defeated in his bid for the Hillsborough County School Board.

Kemple's main issue in the race was seeking to keep Mohammedan speakers out of local schools.
