Today's New York Times reports that Muslim voters are disappointed at Barack Obama's hesitancy to reach out to Muslims. While Obama has spoken at churches and synagogues, he has not visited any mosques. He also asked Representative Keith Ellison, the country’s first Muslim congressman, to cancel a speech supporting him scheduled before the Iowa primary last December in a mosque in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Muslims are also frustrated that while Obama keeps denying rumors that he is a Muslim, he has never said that there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim.
UPDATE: Last Saturday's Wall Street Journal carried an article on the same topic.
