CNN Interviews Muslim-Americans On Upcoming Election

In a report published yesterday, CNN interviewed a number of Muslim-Americans about their views on the upcoming election. CNN says that Muslim-Americans "are more interested than ever before in the political process, in part because their religion has been reduced to a talking point in the presidential campaign." This report followed on Sunday's remarks by former Secretary of State Colin Powell criticizing Republican attempts to paint Barack Obama as a Muslim, but adding:"What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? No, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim kid believing that he or she can be president?"
