GRIEGO: Politics, race mix
Upon being given the opportunity to cajole Obama supporters into joining the Clinton camp or vice-versa, first-time caucus-goer and Denver Public School Board member Arturo Jimenez, an Obama supporter, said in Spanish: You have a great opportunity to support a candidate who offers hope to many communities. It doesn't matter, your race, age, gender. I wished Sergio Bendixen were there. Bendixen is the Clinton pollster quoted in a recent interview with the New Yorker as saying, “the Hispanic voter — and I want to say this very carefully — has not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates."

The developing anti-Americanism in Eurooe is effectively killing any good feelings towards Europe in the U.S. and diminishing our likelihood to listen to European suggestions. I wish there was more of a constructive debate instead of all of this Bush and U.S. bashing. .
II. BACKGROUND
Acceptable Muslim practice became limited to that which took place within the framework of these official religious institutions, under the tutelage of religious teachers and imams appointed by the Muslim Spiritual Board. People who defied these limits were stigmatized as "Wahhabis," regardless of whether they adhered to Wahhabism and even regardless of whether they believed in or advocated an Islamic state or shari'a (Islamic law). Among those labeled Wahhabis were observant Muslims who engaged in private prayer or privately studied religion, or who favored the establishment of an Islamic state in Uzbekistan or incorporation of shari'a as the law of the land. Law enforcement agencies also began to identify as "Wahhabis" those who proselytized, that is, called on fellow Muslims to become observant Muslims by declaring their submission to God and belief in the Prophet Muhammad, shunning alcohol, praying five times per day, observing religious holidays, and learning Arabic in order to study the Koran in its original language.
