Why Bernie?

While we appreciate the commitments, vision, and platform of all Democratic Presidential candidates, our endorsement of Senator Sanders is an affirmation of his holistic vision for the future with a commitment to building a cross-class, multi-racial movement for a truly equitable democracy.

For decades, Senator Sanders has been consistent in fighting for progressive policies and has demonstrated in word and in action the need to care for all Americans regardless of race, creed, or class. His passion has ignited a whole generation committed to disrupting corruption, inequality, and all forms of racial injustice.

Senator Sanders has displayed moral courage in fighting for the oppressed throughout his career, from his days as a civil rights activist to the countless pickets and strikes. He has stood with the marginalized people everywhere including Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, the Uyghurs, and Standing Rock. We agree with Senator Sanders in putting an end to endless wars and stop giving terrorists at home and aboard exactly what they want. We affirm foreign policy that focuses on core U.S. interests, clarifies our commitment to democratic values, and privileges diplomacy and working collectively with allies to address shared security concerns.

We believe that Senator Sanders is the best candidate to lead the much-needed political revolution to put American values back on track and American leadership back on the globe.

1. Joe Rogan and his followers won't like this

Besides, there are several Muslim organizations - this one is a tiny fringe group.

Mainstream Muslims like Fizr Khan are with Biden.

6. They are not in the mainstream?

7. Are you the arbiter of what is fringe or mainstream within Muslim circles?

Shed some light for the rest of us...

8. My opinion alone. I don't think there are any official or accredited arbiters.

9. They are not even listed in a Muslim organization list in Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Islamic_organizations_based_in_the_United_States

It was probably formed by Sirota with unknown names on their board of directors. No recognizable mainstream Muslim leader is to be found on their website.

It seems like someone gathered a few Muslims and formed the organization to make it appear that they have thousands of members when they probably have fewer than 25 members.
