By Sher Zieve - The immigration of Muslims into the US is expected to double by 2010, reports the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). The CIS estimates the current total Muslim population in the United States at approximately 3 million. The CIS also writes: "This growth could have significant repercussions for our homeland security - and our [US] support for Israel. In 1970, roughly 15 percent of Middle Eastern immigrants were Muslim; by 2000, almost 73 percent were. "Opinion polls indicate that Middle Eastern immigrants are highly dissatisfied with U.S. policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict and wish to see a tilt away from support for Israel. Given this, continued Mideast immigration appears likely to lead to changes in U.S. policy, as elected officials respond to Muslim Americans' growing electoral importance. Their increasing political influence was evident earlier this year when three Democratic House members from Michigan, whose districts contain fast-growing Arab immigrant communities, were among only 21 members voting against a resolution expressing solidarity with Israel against terrorism." http://www.cis.org/articles/2002/sac830.htm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
