Jasser for President

Campaign message

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser founded the Arizona-based American Islamic Forum for Democracy in 2003 to articulate the ideas of "liberty-minded" moderate Muslims whose beliefs are in concert with American freedoms and citizenship.

"The American public has become increasingly attuned in recent months to terrorist threats after plots for violence at Fort Dix and JFK Airport were foiled, underscoring the fact that homeland security is still the No. 1 campaign issue for 2008," Dr. Jasser said during a meeting with The Washington Times editorial staff yesterday.

"This awareness is something for candidates on both sides of the aisle to keep in mind: The American voter is yearning for clarity, for strong, defining language about this threat. Those who aspire to be in the White House need to consider," he said. "And if the left ever gets educated about it all, you'll see the Michael Moores of the world running from the imams, not embracing them."
